My history walk through this thread went back to my first post today! 23rd Feb 2010! My stopped smoking ticker is still updating on it and now stands at nearly 1500 days! About right as I gave up in September 2009. Funny thinking that ticker is still ticking away somewhere.

[chickengrandma-2008]

Good morning grumpy, how's it hanging?

I didn't have a ticker.  only in my brain and that tells me it'll be 10 months on Sunday.

[petitecalicocat]

Well done to all who have given up smoking .

Its very cold here this morning , cat is asleep on the landing where the hot water pipes run under the floorboards 

[notgrumpyreally]

The fact that bits are hanging is bad enough CG! I didn't have you down as a smoker! You rebel! Was just tobacco yes?

[chickengrandma-2008]

It certainly was!!!  

[chickengrandma-2008]

I stopped 3 years ago in July. Bought my duty frees in Bulgaria, smoked the & then refused to pay for any more!
Anyone remember those plastic bubble pipes that looked like that one up there ^

[stroppy*cow]

I stopped smoking way back in July 1999, but I was only an occasional smoker even back then.

I am supposed to be working on testing a computer program - got to go to Eindhoven tomorrow and deliver it.

[chickengrandma-2008]

Not get up and go - I need the money. I won't get paid for the work until I deliver. Employer stopped paying me occupational sick pay a couple of months ago, statutory sick pay ends in a couple of weeks, that leaves us with just working tax credit to live on. I actually HATE writing computer software, but the bills still need to be paid, so have to do what I can to earn money legally.

Maggie, thank you for the buttons which have just arrived.  They are brilliant.  I've just sent you a payment via paypoo.

Thanks very much once again.

[ilove2patch]

Glad they are suitable Chris. You didn't have to pay for them you silly girl. Thank you. 

[bitsnknots]

Of course I did Maggie.  Thank you once again.
