You lot are so kind, you've just made me cry again:A Think I will take some brufen, you'd think all that padding on my bum would have helped!!

Well I'm taking the plunge tonight, I'm going to stop smoking:eek: I'm telling you guys then I will feel more pressure to do it, I won't want to come on here and say I've failed:o I spend a rediculous amount of money on ciggies, could pay the CC off in 1 1/2 months of not smoking:T

Right off to get painkillers, bum and elbow aching, Oh and thanks Pigpen for the list-lets see what I can get done with the kids on HT and me suffering withdrawal symptoms:eek: wish me luck

I'm in for this week. Unless the weather is nice, in which case I shall be flying in the garden and on the allotment!

Welcome to all he newbies! Start with Level One, and celebrate your successes - we don't want a list of all the things you haven't done. We've all had days when we put 'Got up, brushed teeth' on the list as that was just about all we could manage...;)

galantvr - very gentle hug better - and very good luck with the stopping smoking. There's loads of help available, so ask your GP or in Boots.

And now I've forgotten all the things I wanted to say to everyone! Hope you've all had a nice weekend.

ps - Dusty, hex, I had a lovely couple of hours this morning looking at snowdrops and hellebores, and sniffing mahonias and daphnes. I was very good, and only came home with one special double snowdrop, Ophelia, and a beautiful hellebore with dark slate coloured flowers. It's not going to be easy to place so it shows up, but I just couldn't resist!

Mudbath

Cool, it's official Galantvr - you're giving up smoking!!!!! Good on you....i'm giving up chocolate and diet coke which might not sound a big thing but i'm totally addicted to both. So, WHEN you succeed so will I as i'll feel too guilty not to.

(I know, I gave up diet coke last year but, but......sorry!)

Serena - what are you doing at your allotment at the moment? We have one too. We share it with some friends and love it. We're rotavating it all at the moment and have lots of plans of what to grow. Our children have their plans too though i'm trying to convince DS that pineapples aren't really going to work!!!

Thanks Mudbath, think I may and up hooked on chocolate before long:eek:

I'll be in again this week, thanks for the list Pigpen.

I've reached the stage where I think I've nothing left to fling and I'm just not messy enough in the course of the week to warant doing level 3 every time a room comes round so apart from dailies I'm only going to do one HHC every evening this week. It'll be off that day's list though. And of course I'll spend an hour catching up with the thread; I couldn't not do that.. some of you make me feel sane.

Galant, hope you're not bruised too much tomorrow.. I salute you for declaring your giving up smoking. I'm not ready but I'd like to hear how you get on. Good for you.
Welcome to the thread newbies, I hope you get plenty from it.

so my list for tomorrow..
Knickers and socks drawer. Why do I save the best ones for never and rotate the same 'comfy' ones weekly for ever?
Oh,and the ironing.

Think I can manage that in half an hour. Bedroom was done on Friday night on a catch up mission before anyone thinks I haven't changed my sheets in ages..

I know what you mean, not sure what i'm going to get hooked on instead. I need to find a hobby and I don't mean flying!!! I've never been a smoker but if you need a chat lived with OH when he gave up so if you ever need distraction therapy feel free to PM me. Good luck, you will do it xx
