sally your turn next to give up think you should of stared the same day as me and my daughter.

marilyn so i only have another week to go

Yep Shelly . only I think 9 more sleeps !!

You ... just keep talking to that little weed saying you cannot control me . LOL.
It wont answer you back its frightened of you !!!

Sally YOU can do it its easy....

Its raining ,,,,, and I have just put my washing out ..Grrrrr.

Going in town now..

Don't those patches work Sally?
I've never smoked so I don't have to give it up!
How about saving up for something with the money that you don't spend on ciggies?
An early footie result-Exeter City 1 Plymouth Argyle 0!

The Newspaper I brought this morning was full of photos of the wedding
Victoria Beckham looked like she was going to a funeral not a wedding and she didnt smile not even in these photo's what is up with her ?perhaps being pregant is getting to her.?. The same with Carmilla she scanned the wedding guest list it appears taking peoplel on and omitting people they said who had connection to Princess Diana.. they said she was shocked that the Queen gave Catherine the tittles of Duchess of Cambridge and Princess William.
One of the photos Carmilla is standing next to Kate mother and one of the photographers said Carmilla looked like Kates mothers, mother, she did look old.
I am glad they put the horse bolting in the news paper I thought I had been seeing things. but they never showed you the priest in West Minster Abbey doing a cart wheel along the isle where the trees were.
that was very funny. especially as he could not have known anyone was looking at him doing it.

The sun is lovely the sky blue but it is a bit breezzy.

Sally....When your ready is the time to give up...
I smoked for 30yrs and so loved my ciggiies I almost ate them ...LOL

Its hard but you do need to talk to them Ciggies and tell them they are a weed and they are not going to control you ....oh my gosh you lot are going to kill me keep repeating my Ideas on smoking, but it did work for me.
I cant see patches working as your still putting back nicotine in your blood ,so that to me has defeated the object of giving up nicotine ...

What you don't want is people keep on to you to give up ....that made me smoke more !! .

Sally in your own time my lovely it will work one day.


Well I have just come back from shops,and found ZERO .....on the memorabilia of cups & saucers perhaps its a bit early maybe next week they might start to reduce the crockery.

Just had a shower ....got home just in time for my washing .

Just read that Catherine had white Sweet Williams in her bouquet of Lily's of the Valley's ....now aint that sweet ...LOL

On a different thread, a contributor referred to Princesses Beatrice & Eugenie as 'a pair of slappers' simply because, in the contributor's opinion, the clothes they wore yesterday were out-of-keeping (to put it mildly) for the occasion.

When reproached , the contributor reluctantly recanted for using the derogatory term ‘slappers’ in favour of an alternative - ‘tarty’.

How rude!

Afternoon all,

Been sweating it out in the garden. I get so hot watching the Mrs work so hard.
I tried to get her to slow down from a fast gallop to a good canter. But, No!, she kept at it hard and long.
Once I got the saddle off her back and put the whip away she slowed down.
Gave her a cup of Coffee and a biscuit for being a good soul.
ROFL.

Seriously, we have had a great relaxing day sitting out in the sun and catching up on gossip.

Gonna have tea in a wee while.

I thought Princess Beatrice looked very smart. Everything matched. Perhaps the hat was a bit strange!

Pat .....just heard the news 1-0 ....in your favour ..LOL

See we are rubbish...LOL


Stevey ...Good job I don't believe you ...

Marilyn,

Would I ever wind you up ?

She didn't have a saddle on........I managed without one. But boy did she jump when I dug the spurs in.

Smoking !

A filthy disgusting habit.

I have never smoked cigarettes in my life.......BUT.......I do smoke cigars.

Started them in 1982 when things in my life had changed dramatically.

Now I wish to hell I had never started them. I make life as hard as possible for me to smoke......I even have a shed at the bottom of the garden that I go to............summer or winter.......so that the smell of my cigars will not pollute the house.

No excuses from me.......I should just give them up..........when I am in an area or situation that I cant have a cigar.......I manage fine......so why not all the time eh !

stephen its becouse we no we carnt and no when we can

im fine at work see i no i carnt but as soon as im in the car i no i can

now tonight i have 2 sons here smokeing round me well thay are in the garden but still here

Hi Shelly .

Tell them to stay in the garden, or go out !!

Shelly go and have a nice long bath with some bubbles and have some girlie time to yourself........light a candle but not a Ciggie ..LOL

Now where has Maddie & Rita & Jean got to ???????????

Please can you all report back so we can see if your OK....

Evening All. Yes, I have surfaced at last.

Been planting and potting all day.

Do you know this halo I wear has slipped a little, and it may strangle me.

I have never smoked, not even a puff, although Mum, Dad and sister all did. Worked in offices where it was a fog. Went to work on the bus where it was the same, no wonder if all went wrong. lol

My first husband [my little joke] used to smoke, but gave us when I became pregnant. Gawd, it was purgatory. He was eating 5 packs of peppermints a day, and being as ratty as hell.

HOWEVER, he came through, and has not touched one since. But he is not sanctimonious about it, not like SIL who inhaled down to her boots, and moans if anyone puffs smoke near her. lol

Well I had a lovely day yesterday, but have lost a vital piece of clothing......



NO, Stephen, dont start.........................


I have lost my fascinator. pmsl

Maddie did you send to Stephen as well? Thought you were letting on about what you had lost !!! LOL

Shelly glad you are doing well and as Marilyn said maybe a long bubbly soak will get you out of the way.

I've been painting walls again hubby did the first coat not too good, hope he thinks it looks better now.

More knitting hope it's not a long hot summer or it won't get used til winter.

Enjoy your evening everyone

Linda :o) XxX

I have been watching freeview on 10 they are showing Downton Abbey again over the weekend I watched it today from 4 till 8 it is on again tomorrow and Monday not the same one as today but they put on the whole series.. I did read you bit to the lady who has just had a granddaughter and the couple named her Grace and you remarked she must be pretty with that name.
I am not pretty my middle name is Grace. my mother use to say your Amazing Grace. I was named after my mothers sister. lol she also called me Calamity Jane. I wonder why ?

see you later if not tomorrow.

Rita

Evening folks,
another busy day here, washing, ironing and a wee bit of gardening.
Shelly well done, keep it up. I have tried and failed so often to pack it in but like others on here I can go without for hours when at work or when grandchildren are here (occasionally sneak into the garden when I'm stressed by them for a quick puff).

Pauline my 81 year old mother in law had a bad fall, while we were on the ferry coming back from visiting her in Ireland and is now in hospital with broken ankle and badly bruised ribs. Doing well though so fingers crossed.

Stephen hope the knee is feeling better.

Time for a cuppa and a good book, feeling tired.
Hope you are all well,
Might be back later,

Cath xx

Creeps in under the smoke haze, sorry folks, it's the social pariah here.
whooooo (blows smoke away from the screen) don't want Shelly to get a waft of my ahem c............tte.
Wont even mention the name of the nasty substance. It's not easy being a drug adict, and no matter what I have tried, I am a proper weakling,and give in to the devil sitting on my shoulder.
Roly gave up after his heart attack, 20 years ago, and when he came out of hospital, I smoked in the garden no matter what the weather was.
But under instructions from Roly, I was told not to be stupid, and come back in the house.
I have always NOT smoked in the house, when the grandchildren are around. And do worry about passive smoking, so try my damndest not to smoke to much of an evening when we are in together.
And I could NOT smoke every time I was pregnant,as it made me sick. But as soon as the baby was born, the cravings came back.
Oh how I wish I had never started again, but I did so thats my own fault.
Creeeps back into the corner>>>>>>>>>>>>>bye for now folks.
