**** NON ICMELER CHAT THREAD.****

Steve, they should try to get to Loch Lomond, really lovely in that area. Or go over to Edinburgh its only 45 mins on the train, and its really nice just walking around Edinburgh city centre, the castle is also central. Other than that, and esp if the weather not too kind, Mary's suggestion is excellent, a scotch pie and a pint!

[Jozzyd]

I did it!!!!!! The first day without smoking. Did not think i could do it again!! Stopped for 14 weeks a year or so ago and then started again. Credit crunch says £35 a week (minimum) better spent in Icmeler Here goes for day 2

[Fanny]

well done Jozzyd, if you've managed one day, you can do another

you can do it!!

[Jozzyd]

[jambogarry]

Well done Jozzyd

[reesy1959]

Excellent Jozzy, well done, you can do it girl. Put your money into a dish each day and watch it grow to give you a little more determination.

I like the 2009 Turkish entry for the Eurovision contest, in fact I thnk it may be quite popular this summer.

It's a lot better than the British entry which in my opinion is a bit boring

[Jozzyd]

Ha ha Mary, can't afford to yet have bought gum, lozenges and the little plastic thingy. But will do

[Colette]

I agree Dave, I don't like the British entry again.

[Jozzyd]

Turkish one is definitely more upbeat, she was very Britney Spears i think. The British one is too maudlin

[Eatock08]

Yep I definately prefer the turkish entry!!

Well done Jozzyd the days will fly by I've lost count on how many days I've not smoked for but its since the 29th December!! I had my first night out drinking Saturday and I didn't give in to the cravings even though I wanted to!! lol

[Jozzyd]

Well done Alison, I know i WILL do it and it somehow feels a bit easier than the first time i did it a couple of years ago Will never have another cigarette because it's a slippery slope. Still counting the hours at mo but day 2 nearly over and have not succumbed

[Fanny]

well done Jozyd - maybe we should have a "giving up the cancer stick" thread to go alongside the slimming one
maybe if we did, Gene would be kind enough to come up with one of his fab progress charts!?!

also, can't you get the patches, chewy etc free on NHS if you register with one of their clinics?

[Jozzyd]

I think you just pay a prescription charge as normal it's not free. What i have spent is only 3 or 4 days cigarette money so i am not complaining. Please Gene would love a graph

[jools]

Well done on your achievement so far Jozzyd, the effort will all be worth it!

[reesy1959]

Isnt it nice to see the nights getting lighter. I went for a 3 mile walk yesterday and the sun was shining, it was so refreshing not to have to wear gloves or a scarf. When I came out the shower last night, I actually had a little bit of sun-burn on my nose. Can you believe it, in February

Spring is just around the corner and I can see that everyone on here is already getting excited about returning to our little bit of paradise.

[art deuchars]

I am sure turkey can do better than this.
As for sad old britain once again must do better nil points .

[Colette]

maybe we should have a "giving up the cancer stick" thread to go alongside the slimming one

In a word NO

Sorry guys, we allow the slimming one but thats it, we are an Icmeler forum not a helpp, support, chat forum, but feel free to run your graph in this thread

[redrhino12]
