I've just downloaded my quitometer. Thanks Charliecat. Yes, I really AM writing this at 02.25am! Ooh, just realised its now 2.50am, its taken my 25 mins to write this. Can't sleep. Managed a couple of hours early on but woke around 12.00 and finally gave in and came downstairs 15 mins ago. I am usually, unless ill, the world's best sleeper, so wonder whether its the patch - the bumph does say could affect sleep, and I am very itchy, and we've got a busy weekend, away at friends for bonfire night party. Oh well, maybe I'll do the ironing! Or watch West Wing dvds. Or both. And of course, I'll want to sleep just as dawn breaks, sleep through the alarm, dd will decide this is the morning to sleep late, and I'll miss my incredibly early appointment at hairdressers!
The good news is .....17h 22 mins not smoked, 50 minutes life saved! Ooh, and £2.63.
Minkmama, just seen your post. No, definitley NOT nearly four children. I'm actually a bit of a wimp and only have one. A gorgeous (aren't they all) little girl, who was when I chose my name, nearly four. She's actually now nearly five, so maybe I need a name change.
Well done for going cold turkey prefernot. To answer your question, I've smoked for about 15years, and very stupidly actually didnt start until mid twenties - missed the whole rebel teen thing. Everyone where I worked at the time (PR agency) smoked and I got drawn in. Stopped when pregnant (five years ago) but started again. Reasons to stop - all the obvious ones really, but am (oops, WAS, beginning to smoke more, and I can't bear the guilt when looking at dh and dd. They NEED me, well don't they all need us fabby women! Anyway, have been rambling so had better go or will be talking to myself all night, or morning. Have a good weekend everyone, I probably won't be on again until Sunday night. Be strong! Although you are all doing so well anyway.
