    Thank you so much, these are the things i need to remind myself. i hope it rains so we have to go inside. that will make it a lot easier!!!!
  • Noooooooooo, make it lovely and sunny so you can show off your new no smokingness to full effect. One thing though, because you are thinking about the fact that your hands have nothing to do you tend to drink more and can end up very very trollied....and then your friends aren't jealous of your new no smokingness because you are acting like a fool.....been there done that!!

    (Bandra - apart from the fact that feedie & i are insanely jealous that you are in india all I have to say is that your argument that smoking cheap fags is ok is like me saying that it's ok to be run over by a robin reliant but not ok to be run over by an aston martin. Really, that's a terrible excuse & i'm just not accepting it.:mad: Death is death whether its because you smoke cheap fags or expensive ones. I used to smoke those pretty sobranie cocktails & the black & gold ones & they were hideously expensive but I thought that was fine
    because they were so attractive & made me look :cool: . Now I just feel :o at my shallowness & stupidity.)

    You're 100% correct. I should give up but I've just quit Diet Pepsi and Redbull and spent around 5 pounds a day on those two. Fags are next.

    Don't be too jealous of me being India now - I'm not in not Goa or Pondicherry. I'm in Mumbai - it's too hot (typical Brit), overcrowded and polluted. But I still love it.

    Good luck all with stopping smoking. I'll be joining you - er -er - er - soon!

    Sri Lanka eh? Yeah I'd love to live there.

    But do you think you could make it work there even if there wasn't a war on?

    Just out of interest, where in Sri Lanka are you thinking of?

    Have you seen that guy who owns a small island right on the southern tip? Amazing place.

    I was back there last month - it really has developed a lot in 10 years since my first visit.

    Feedie,
    noooooo please dont leave us :cry: . Aha, have just had brainwave, I know you dont intend on working but how about running a stop smoking type health spa thingy for DFW's ? Go on, I know you want to really ;) .

    Foxy - Get back on line please so we can give you stern talking to about tomorrow night, there is no escape :p , thanks for hamster bathing tip, will give that a go at the weekend.

    Bandraboy - I suggest you get yourself some anti nicotine devices quick, if you can go 8 months then you can just do it full stop. Oh, and by the way, we know where you are now so like I said to foxy ; there is no escape :p

    Hope everyone doing ok today, have to dash now & make up pig outfit for the fruitbat out of a piece of tissue paper & a pizza box - any ideas ? Damn school stupid dressing up day :mad:

    I'll be back....

    Evening Everyone :hello:

    How is everyone doing today??

    Well, I am almost thru Day2, I say almost....in 3.5 hours it will be a full 2 days!!.. feels like months :o, my body should be almost clear of nicotine now I think!.

    I dislike evenings... watching TV and drinking coffee or alcohol go hand in hand with smoking... so don't really know where to put myself :( ...

    Might go in the bath until bedtime... haha... or just go to bed now so the time passes more quickly :D

    Well Done all you non smokers.. :T , you all deserve a BIG medal
