Bakon, women don't fart because we have a little 'fart fairy' that comes in the night when everyone is sleeping ... she removes excess wind, put's it into a nice little box with a bow on the top and pops it into the outside bin .... didn't you know that ?

her and Bandito ... bad influence ??? :lol:

no you didn't read that right .. god I'm not that bad, last time he was home I threatened to put his ciggies in a deep fat fryer, not him lol love him too much ... but I did stab his ciggies with a toothpick, but I blame that largely on Bandito and Julie ...lol

Hi Everyone, Thankyou so much for the advice so far, I am reading it all and taking it in ... so far I have made a quick list of my ten commandments to get me through the first 24 hours, these may change drastically over the course of the next two weeks : 1. I will request a smoke free zone 2. I will ask hubby not to smoke in the car when I pick him up from the airport tomorrow 3. I will be nice and offer to pull over so he can smoke 4. I will go to the gym in the morning, while he has twenteen cups of tea and a packet of smokes for breakfast 5. I will give him a mental finger if he deserves it 6. I will remind myself that he HAS to smoke because he is shackled to it and I am not 7. I will remember at all times that I choose not to smoke 8. I will tell him in four days time that his chest was clear when he first came home from work but now his chest sounds horrendous and it scares me 9. I will not stab hubbys smokes with a toothpick or put them in the deep fat fryer 10. I will not stab hubby with a toothpick or any other pointy object that may be at hand Sue x Almost forgot, if all this fails I will ask hubby to build me a castle so I can have my own wing ;)

Hi Evelyn, sorry I'm late ... Yesterday you helped me when I was having a wobble ... now I would like to help you .... It sounds as if you're a little better ??? I didn't smoke last night thanks to all of my friends here, and this morning I felt fantastic ... you were one of the one's helping me telling me not to smoke .... now I'm telling you ... please don't Evelyn, you will wake up tomorrow and be so glad that you managed another day ... you may be feeling alone but Evelyn you're not alone, you have all of us, none of us judging you, all of us understanding ... Sue x

Hey Shazza, you might have to invest in a bigger gargen lol

lost it when I read this :lol: :lol: :lol:

Marti is sounds like you're doing everything that you can for your Mum, big pat on the back. Is your Mum subborn ?

Some of you have commented on the fact that hubby gets home from work tomorrow for 2 weeks. The last time he came home I was fine for a couple of days, then we had the stabbing his ciggies with a cocktail stick episode. Then a couple of days later I lit up with him ! I think I've mentioned before that I don't have a lot of support at home from family and friends. The reason being they are all so used to my quits. Nobody even comments anymore. Because of this I find it hard to make requests for smoke free zones, mainly because I feel like a hypocrite, because when I have smoked I've smoked, in the house, in the car anywhere I choose to. Last year I managed a 9 month quit, so I know I can deal with hubby smoking I've just got to have the right mindset. I'm feeling confident at the moment, largely due to yesterdays wobble, the fact that I didn't smoke made me feel empowered. I'm trying to get together a plan should I start to get the wobbles. I won't be able to spend as much time on here because we have got loads to do while he's home. I'm sure many of you have smoking partners, or when you were a smoker yourself you partner was a non-smoker. Any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated. Incidentally, for the two weeks that hubby is at work, he doesn't smoke. They're not allowed cigarettes on the platform. He's been working like this for years. As soon as he gets to the airport he lights up and when he's home he would smoke maybe 40 - 50 a day. Sue x

I went to the gym this afternoon for an hour. Did some cardio and upper body weights. Didn't break any records but I still felt good afterwards :P

what a coincidence Nancy, I was looking at my money saved from not smoking, and I was thinking this morning maybe I should buy myself some really good sunglasses instead of the $2 dollar one's everyone brings back from Bali hahaha ...

I've just been shopping and I bought myself two huge bunches of flowers because I deserve them !

this post is great fun ...

I never heard of clove cigarettes ???
