charliecat · 21/10/2004 20:07

Sounds like your gonna have fun, wont it be lovely when you get into bed and dont have that urge to go and check the kids...hmmm lovely...I am feeling better now, Had a mad dash round the top of the house as id did nothing yesterday except the bare essentials and it was disgusting...I will be 2 weeks tommorow, at 9.37 am....I am chuffed to bits.
Cant wait to have you back, what method are you gonna go by?
I read MMs post as away for the day, must have wanted it to say that, I see now it said a couple of days so hopefully she will be back tonight or tommorow.
How you doing Mammya?
Oh and FG, how many fags have you really enjoyed the past couple of weeks? Many not a lot?
Just beacuse I know when Ive said right leave it a week or whatever i have enjoyed the first 2 and then thought OMG not this again...

mammya · 21/10/2004 20:32

Hello, 3days 11 hours 34 min without a fag! Am so pleased! Especially as today I was with a smoking friend, had mad craving but resisted (thinking of my counter you see...). Have been eating far too many nuts though...

charliecat · 21/10/2004 22:13

Nuts are gooMammya, its alot better than fags...nuts nuts and more nuts...eat as many as you want!!! My fetish is kingsize choccy bars so you doing better than me!
What did your friend think of your nonsmokingness? Bet she was ious!
My friends all hide and look guilty for doing it near me...

charliecat · 21/10/2004 22:19

They laugh at me because I am different, I laugh at them because they're all the same!
This has nothing to do with this but i want to save it to put on the fridge so im pasting it here .

mammya · 21/10/2004 22:43

My friend a bit I think she wants to give up but not really IYSWIM. Says she will give up next month, has read AC. Not ready IMHO!
Nuts are better than smoking but still fattening. If I had chocolate in the flat I know what I'd go for...

charliecat · 22/10/2004 05:57

Keep gpoing witht eh nuts Mammya and treat your self to a bar of choocy to, you are doing marvelouslly!
I am up at this ridiculus time sweating due to this fluey thing...my ankles are even sweating, its really bizarre.
Have written out my dds birthday invites this morning(!!!!!) and am planning on shifting through a mountain of clothes..what fun

charliecat · 22/10/2004 10:17

I am suffering from WWIIINNNDDDDDDDDDDDD and am doing the most enormous farts...why is this?????

Also I am now on 2 weeks 40mins and 40 seconds, feels bloody marvelous. I found 2 lots of dps baccy, one dreggy amount and one quite large amount of dry stuff. I sniffed the big pack and then set it alight in a tin outside the back door at 7am this morning and the other lot is in the wheelie bin.
Im in a its sooo not worth it mood.

charliecat · 22/10/2004 11:39

Is it just me who needs to post here to feel my quit is valid in effect and worth a shit?
Well i dont know...but my god i hate talking to myself.
Am doing a clutter clearance here. Trying anyway, half a bedroom done, lot of paperwork sorted but still a bathroom to clean and a hall full of clutter to sort.
Think ive managed to piss my mum off as well. She wanted me to go back to hers after dropping Tanya at nursery but I said I needed to come back here to get this done before half term[last day today] because when theres 2 kids runing around getting out everything youve just put away you dont get much done.
So I tryed to compromise by saying ill come up at one and she brushed me off
If id have stayed up there this morning I would have only had an hour and a half here before having to go and get Tasha so there was no point...God...well its done now.
And at half term I will say Right im taking the kids to XYZ and she wont come....she will make an excuse not too, then she will make me feel guilty as ive hardly saw her as ive been busy doing things with the kids that she was invited to but didnt come to RAH RAH RAH.
isnt life complicated sometimes.

charliecat · 22/10/2004 16:41

500 fags not smoked

charliecat · 22/10/2004 19:25

Would this be my fifth post one on top of the next! Anyway, as a compromise as my mum would wiggle out of any museum/park/soft play area visits I have got her to fill in a space in her diary for us to go to Maidstone for some pre-Xmas shopping on Friday and hopefully the kids will enjoy the day by ending it with a Macdonalds.
So one less thing for me to worry about.
Not smoking is now my way of life and even though I have been awake since 4.30am, starting my day watching the antiques roadshow, I have only had 5 lozenges, so may be brave and drop to the 1mgs on Sat/Sun.
Where are you friends?!

charliecat · 23/10/2004 12:35
