Sorry to hear your news Viva xx

Thanks everyone for your support and kind words. I should add that I am angry with cigarettes, have never been angry with the lovely woman in question. She was as damn near perfect a human as it was possible to find. Just immensely sad that this is the end result.

Smokers start smoking because they don't understand that it's impossible to give up. I have striven to get the Generalissimos to understand addiction via my former smoking.

Interesting weekend ahead. The Girl has a load of stuff to do with Mrs Generali so it's me and The Boy. It's been a while since we've had that weekend. I was thinking a bike ride then get his telescope and drive up the mountains to see the Milky Way etc.

@trev - I don't know whether it helps or not but it really is effectively impossible to quit smoking. I must have quit well over 100 times. I even had a doctor tell me to start smoking again once.

@All - Don't smoke. Don't hate on smokers.

I kinda object to the message that its impossible to give up smoking.


Hard yes. Very hard indeed for some. Possibly so hard that the stress outweighs the benefits in a few cases. But impossible? Many prove that wrong.

Missed my delivery of vit d by a few minutes. I saw the guy leaving the road.

Yes, you reach that right. A treatment was decided, prescribed and attempted to be delivered all in one day. You can imagine why I was caught off guard. The system worked, I was the weak link today. Ooops.

Sorry for you loss viva,

I really don't want to seem insentive but I do have a different opinion on smoking as in if I loved one did end up ill due to there actions I would find it had to sympathise with something self inflicted and completely avoidable. Yes it may be hard to quit but I really can't see how its hard to never try it in the first place and just not get addicted.

Luckily I can't remember, but my first experience in life would have been going cold turkey from one of the most addictive substances know to man, that mixed with many health/breathing problems going well into my teens due to passive smoking this may have cemented a rather strong anti smoking opinion.

Interestly my intention was to give my nephew some extra financial assistance if he stayed in full time education (£x in the bank every month) but he started smoking just before he started college so I am not giving him a penny as I refuse to fund him smoking, he does get grumpy when he can't afford cigarettes and I have pointed out to him he would be much better off if he quit (but never mentioned the money is missing out on).

Guessing - this way it gets delivered (fingers crossed) and is likely to be covered by an NHS pre-payment certificate.

Other guesses - can get different strengths/ formulations on prescription
