Hello Girls, went to bed early so I could post this morning before I leave!
The baccy was probably me leaving it there for once, I drowned the dogend id had and just didnt think about the baccy assuming dp would take it.
He does remove all baccy from the house when he goes to work so thats good.
Should have some free time to myself today...wooho dont now what im going to do though!
How are you MM? I have put your wee card up where I can see it to remind me...

minkmama · 08/10/2004 08:52

i'm fine thanks cc. woke up early to the sound of ds1 repeating 'eat, eat, eat' hence me being on the pc at this time for a change! also, it's dh's day off so i've got some help.

will be taking the kids to a farm, their first day trip to a proper place!

hope you do something indulgent with your day, i want to come back and read that you've had a good one

FG, we're thinking of you!! xxx

I hope you have fun at the farm MM and boys...Im sure you will have a great time.
I have done nothing inspirational but I have cooked dinner already so we can chuck it in the microwave later and the dishes will already be done, which will be lovely as I seem to live standing in front of the sink.
I have been ok today.

The Smoker?s Vow

To be said just before taking your first puff after
having quit for any appreciable period of time

----------------

With this puff I enslave myself
to a lifetime of addiction.
While I can?t promise to always love you,
I do promise to obey every craving and
support my addiction to you
no matter how expensive you become.

I will let no husband or wife,
no family member or friend,
no doctor or any other health professional,
no employer or government policy,
no burns or no stench,
no cough or raspy voice,
no cancer or emphysema,
no heart attack or stroke,
no threat of loss of life or limbs,
come between us.

I will smoke you forever
from this day forth,
for better or worse,
whether richer or poorer,
in sickness and in health,
till death do us part!

?You may now light the cigarette.?

?I now pronounce you a full-fledged smoker.?

Think we should put that on the fridge dont you?

charliecatthenonsmoker · 08/10/2004 11:38

OMG Ive just found THE tool of the century, a wee clock on your tool bar that tells you how many fags you havent smoked, how many days, how many hours,seconds and how much of your life you have saved. If you want the link let me knowxx

charliecatthenonsmoker · 08/10/2004 17:11

How was it MM? Bet your all covered in mud and cow shit lol, where did you go too? Theres a lovely farm at Godstone...was it there? Or is that a million miles away from you?

I am just going to clear up all the mess I made thismorning cooking, the point of it was so I wouldnt need to do it tonight, but I still need to do the girls AND I didnt finish the dishes before I went out so pointless task but kept me away from the fags so who cares!

charliecatthenonsmoker · 08/10/2004 21:49

minkmama · 08/10/2004 22:20

HAHAHA yes it WAS Godstone! Very small world this mothering lark it's quite close to us actually, probably half way between us two, just 30mins drive from me but that's with dh driving! Great place for a boy like ds1, so much space. that sandpit is fab, it's the only place in the world where i can't lose him!!

Here they are, ive got the Silkquit one. You save it to your pc, click on it and it loads up. Then got to your program files to Startup...and right click, then do...ohhh save to desktop, then there will always be the link on your desktop, and once youve put in your stop details it will be there forever. Very encouraging.

Easy to do btw it took 3 mins. Im just making it sound hard lol

charliecatthenonsmoker · 08/10/2004 22:28

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Lovely, looks great and is that the sun I see out?????
Is the thing still there with the ramps and the cars?

minkmama · 08/10/2004 22:40

what cars, like proper driving ones?!! might have missed it if it was further than the second sandpit! had a good go on the adventure playground bit and also the thing where you sit on the end of the rope and slide down the wire (!) didn't get a pic of that one as both dh and I were on them racing!!!

and yes, it was sunny!!

OP posts:
charliecatthenonsmoker · 08/10/2004 22:41

I have got a copy of that thing below in my purse and pinned next to the kitchen sink, I have decided the only way for me at the mo is to totally drown myself in anti smoking propaganda.
I WANT to stop smoking but I keep having Just One. So its not working. And even the thought of smoking for one whole day is too much....I want to stop and so if I have to go round chanting reasons why I shuldnt have just one then so be it.
Im also hoping dp takes note and thinks about stopping too....Got that thing set up, if you need the time of your quit look at your post here on this thread and guesstimate.

minkmama · 08/10/2004 22:42

right, am off to get something sweet to eat and get fat. are you still sloshing? see you in a bit xx

OP posts:
minkmama · 08/10/2004 22:44

i like the thing with the money you save, not that important since it's been on/off smoking for a while now, but still, it's extra info isn't it? the life thing is good too!!
