They are starting early telling your dd notasheep!
I remember when I was about 9 crying saying to my mum and my sister who ALWAYS had a fag in one hand and my baby nephew in the other....please stop that...you dont need to be holding him at the same time, look thats going up his nose...
The sick thing is it didnt stop me.

When do you arrive on Friday and how long are you around for?

I've started speaking to dd about smoking now I've quit. I couldn't bear to do it when I was still smoking as I felt such a hypocrite. Even though she's never, to my knowledge, seen me smoke. Now I keep telling her how bad it is, how horrible it makes you smell, etc. etc. and she already points to people smoking and shakes her head solemnly to me!

What time i arrive will be very hit and miss-the trains are so unreliable from here and i always have a complete nightmare like missing my connection or being put on a coach to Milton Keynes!
I will be leaving London on Monday 6th at 10am ish

Dont you just sometimes wonder how on earth you could possibly have smoked for all that time and fooled yourself that it wasnt a problem,health issue or stinky

Ok, maybe I should email you my mobile no. nearer the time?

I think that I stopped fooling myself that smoking wasn't going to harm me a very long time ago. I think for at least the last two years I've been feeling very depressed and panicky about its health risks, being a mum and all, and found it very hard to handle the fact I was still doing it. What I do find hard to handle right now is seeing other people smoke and not realise what they're doing to themselves. Especially when I see middle-aged men and women chuffing along the street, coughing and spitting, and still smoking.

And this really bugs me - we have to take a lift to get out of our flat and some people are so desperate for their morning fag they have it in the lift on the way down, whether there's school kids in there or not. It's horrible, really reeks, I'd never have done that when I was smoking. But something about that desperation, not being able to wait, really depresses me about smokers.

Me not being one of them. Now. Of course.
