Still winning

I wish I knew. Apparently she never wanted a jack russell....and he was a big part. He ate a lot of shit and was a naughty little bastard...but he had no training. Screw this shit, my Milly asked for a dog because her Dad dumped his girlfriend who had a dog and she missed it. So I said I would get her a dog. When my fuckwit mum said she'd asked for a dog first, so I bowed down. Now I bloody regret it. Dear me, when I'm older don't be an absolute fcukwit!!

"trial" a dog means I don't have a dog I fell in love with and think my mother should be fcuked off too. Man, so fcuking sad. Gonna get my own dog, screw this shit!

How can you "trial" a dog when you don't like the breed really? What the actual fcuk is wrong with some people. So I don't have a dog anymore and I'm pretty fcuking sad.

Mel, What a total twunt, obviously give him a nudge at the top of the stairs or something but less obvious paybacks ... offer to make the coffees and drop laxatives his!! Or sprinkle itching powder around his keyboard before or after work, as he swooshes it off it goes on him. I will think of more BAT - I hope you don't play pictionary!! Shit man, you're not an artist are you :)

Hey Jen, Hope it's going well and you are treating yourself!!

Here Santa, I was SOOOOO naughty and it was worth it :D

Joy shared, I read and smiled a happy smile for you :) Go Sarah!! Hope the meal is wonderful and the day stays fabulous!

NOPE from sunny England...oh wait.... lol but actually, touch wood, it's not forecast to rain today!! Huzzah!!

10 min walk, 5 min jog, 25 mins yoga

We can use those moments to secure our quit now. To realize those babies, no matter how old, need and genuinely want us at times - how lovely is it they don't wait anymore :) I second the feeling though, it feels pretty bad. xx

nope

I have no advice but just wanted to say how fabulous for your son!! x

Great news!! Rest easy. Also a heads up, I just noticed you're quitting cold turkey, maybe get some fruit juice tomoz and take sips ofit every couple of hours. Your blood sugars jump around a bit (something to do with chemicals in cigs) and they can feel a bit like a crave and or/make you feel tired. The natural lift of a fruit juice helps and also moves the nicotine out your system quicker if it's cranberry juice. Any will help if you don't like cranberry though. Today when you wake you will complete 72 hours and the last of your nicotine will be gone from your body!! Don't forget the key here is distraction. Sips of cold water. Click your fingers. Suck air through a straw. Hard boiled candy. Jumping from foot to foot. Using the work NOPE either in your head or out loud. Go for a power walk...all exercise stops a crave dead in it's tracks. Any of these may help :) x

hey and welcome. Just do it and get it done :) Quitting is mental, meditation will definately help, great choice! Look forward to reading you. Post, a lot, it helps. We want to be there for you too so asks anything whenever it enters your mind. Games on the social bit kept me in touch with the site when I needed friends but didn't want to "talk". I am excited for your freedom! It really is fabulous later on and worth the journey I promise. xx

Aww Colleen, can't you speak to someone and ask if low impact (ie yoga, pilates etc) is plausible? x 10 min fast walk, 5 min jog, 15 mins yoga, 10 mins pilates today I was mostly indecisive about what I wanted to do lol.

I am a 3 tree house :) And lots of singing things and a big ol NOPE to fund my tree fetish ;)

He's very cute :) Also nuts!! I did borrow some cats recently but I had to give them back so we were "petless" prior to Mad Max's arrival!

He absolutely is a handful! He will be a wonderful family pet though, he is very cuddly and full of energy. It's technically for my Mum. Hoping a dog companion will help her be slightly more mellow and give her some focus almost. Plus the kids and I are obviously here to pick up the slack and do the playing bit, should work out great. He does have "small man" syndrome though and barks at nothing. Defo needs some training but we expected that. All good.

Jen, I am really pleased to see you back and look forward to you posting how proud your child is again! It makes a difference to us Mums (moms?) that we set a good example. Powerful post, I am excited for your freedom!! Smoking really does bring nothing of any benefit to our lives and pretty soon it becomes an occassional weird thought. All you have to do is NOPE and face those triggers down until they get so quiet it's odd to hear them. xx

Mama's feet, and the recycle box - oops lol.

Nope!

1 1/2 year old Max. A cavelier spaniel mixed Dad with a jack Russell mixed Mum...he's a real "bitsa" dog :) I'm a cat woman (not "the" cat woman, that would be cool) but I must admit this doggy here suckered me!

I never doubted you, you wouldn't think to smoke one, those days are done. x

No worrying me, I'm getting old!! ((bandit)) I know you hate the hug thing and all, but strength being sent to you and healing to your mum. xx

nope
