Where has everyone been this weekend?

spookylucy · 09/10/2005 17:54

Ive been to a kids party and a flea market. Oh and the beach and the park but it was a bit cold so we came home, [runs and ducks for cover] Where have you been?

Dropinthecauldron · 09/10/2005 18:34

On the piss!

MLL-Wish you DD a very Happy Birthday for tommorrow from me-big kiss from Taig and Tiernan too! x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Thanks drop! I've spent the weekend in A&E - yes! The run of bad luck has seen mll in a bit more trouble! It was me actually. I passed out twice yesterday and had really low blood pressure. I don't know what caused it but the doc there thought it might be post-viral as I've had this dire chest for a week or so. I'm not so sure and suspect all kinds of scary things. But we'll see, eh?

Anyway, I'm back. And I'm really looking forward to dd's birthday. We've really pulled the stops out for her this year, she's got some lovely things, we've been preparing for months. Well, I have. I don't know why. I've never been a big birthday person and I'm not materialistic. I guess I feel that she doesn't have much stuff in general and I really wanted to treat her. Or maybe it's because life's been so miserable I want to bask in her sheer delight!

Hows everyone doing today?

evansmummy · 11/10/2005 14:20

Hello everyone. Sorry i've been away so long, first had no computer, then had no Internet and then started smoking again, so didn't dare come on. Am now on and off smoking, which I know is pants, but I can't seem to help myself. Have not smoked for a couple fo days but that's only cos I've got a horrible virusy chesty thing that makes me not want to smoke. Not sure how things'll go when it's cleared up though.

How are you all?? Can't be bothered to read all these posts!! How long has it been for everone now? Mll, how's things with dp? And how was the b'day yesterday?? Cb, drop and fg, how's itgoing? Any slip-ups?

charliebat · 11/10/2005 16:36

Hiya EM..if your off the fags now coz your illstay off them..no slips up here

Dropinthecauldron · 11/10/2005 18:53

SpookyLucy-must be coming up close to your quit date,eh???

CC-How ya doin,leader?

Mll-Did DD have a great Birthday? Are you better now?

Fiona-can you believe,for all my committment to reading when I got back from Turkey,I have still only read the first couple of chapters of the FF Years!
Disgusted with myself!

mummylonglegs · 11/10/2005 19:10

HI all,

Yes, dd had a lovely birthday, thanks for asking

I'm still feeling exhausted after the weekend though. I've had my mum and brother for the day today and ended up racing round way too much. I'm ready for a long long rest now!

charliebat · 12/10/2005 06:55

Hope you are rested MLL
I thought I would pop in before 7am to shock you all and myself

mummylonglegs · 12/10/2005 13:42

What you doing up at that hour, cb?! Dd had a lie-in til 8.30am this morning ... bliss ...

Stick with it EM if you've got through a few days with your bad chest. I had a bloody awful chest a week or so ago, made me feel awful and I still don't feel much better to be honest.

And how's everyone else?

charliebat · 12/10/2005 16:23

Think you need some vits MLL pick u back up a bit...before i flicked on the pc this morning id sorted out my odd sock basket...I really need to get a life but the kids were running out of sock s
I am nearing that 10000 not smoked mark

sievehead · 12/10/2005 17:50

Hi everyone. I am giving up the fags. Had bad asthma attack at weekend due to coming into contact with dogs and feathers, but still, smoking can't be good anyway. So haven't had one since Saturday night. Am not feeling 100% so not really missing them yet, but am already in mourning for them!!!!

Is it possible to sit outside when the kids are in bed, have a g and t and NOT HAVE A FAG. Do non smokers enjoy life ????

I'm in the very early stages of giving up which explains my neurotic tone.

Any help or advice welcomed.

charliebat · 12/10/2005 19:37

LOL sievehead...I think non smokers enjoy life but as an x addict to the old fags I know exactly the thoughts your having.
Eventually its really pleasurable to not smoke, to suck the fresh morning air into your lungs and be proud that you dont have to smoke anymore.
