5 not often England wins the weather stakes.

7....it's so frickin hot I'm sweating with the aircon on full pelt an doin nought but sit under the vent.

Oi you lot are too quick, missed me screen shot of Vegemite at 100%.... We used to joke that the kid was Canadian in a past life cos when she was a kid she had maycool swibub on everything.

So with Shrove Tuesday (the real one, not the fake one) is on this Tuesday what are you having on your pancakes. Now for the purposes of the quizz we are going with dessert pancakes only. I listed all the options that happen in my family...well the dessert type options anyway.

Omg with a late rush the surprise winner was scrambled....who'd a think it?

It's a Booby....a blue footed booby....I called myself a boob once and someone posted a pic of a blue footed booby so I snapped it up...and I snapped up....saddly blue footed boobies are not Australian...they come from West coast Americas from Cali down half of South America.

Yep ?.... Even the deadly ones are pretty awesome...

Its funny isn't it but down here we call em Blue Heelers... I thought that was what you were talking about but I had to google to be sure. They are great dogs, so loyal and smart my uncle's one used to drink cups a tea.

I had my last smoke at 11:48pm on 27th of November 2017....we all had a last smoke. Don't get caught in the semantics. A big part of smoking is the ritual, only makes sense that for some a big part of quitting will be ritual as well...

NRT worked for me Potts...took the edge off enough so my crazy arse could get over that quit line....so it does work for some....and for others it doesn't....but it's working for you too so keep learning.

You know what Mona...having a quit buddy really helps. You and Lilly have both started knew quits on the same day....you both have a shared, bumpy, quit history (I'm not saying that to be facetious)....you would make great quit buddies, quit twins even...having someone share the journey with you is such a great support.

I wish I'd tried one on a date.....stupid typo...I really tried one on a dare....cos all us mature 42year Olds know not to take dates.

Did you make a note on what didn't work those last times, so you could avoid those pitfalls?

They do tumeric also which I've not been brave enough to try. It's a hipster thing...I tried oneon a date but now I am addicted.

Come Dor .... You can't beet a root...? It's hot, it's a latte, course it's hot.

1..... Um Notski is like 8pm...I just got off the train from work...still waiting on a bus...the a walk then cook dinner....I wish it was bed time!

Just makes me think of Priscilla.

Me 1

Quit date we have for you is 29th Jan is this not true? Maybe now is the time to make it true?

Next stop no more NRT gum...but mate be very proud of your 2 months smoke free....that's huge and you have done it....I was still using NRT at 2 months too....it got much easier when I stopped the nrt...the smoking thoughts were less too. My goal was to be NRT free by 3months...I think I went a little over...but I new when it was time for me and you will too.

Beef & Cashew stir-fry with rice... ^^last nights offering.

Australia...cos beetroot latte....

Welcome back Lilly, even if it's under awful circumstances. You can do this.

Congratulations @Redemption3, @MrChristmas, @Pottarama, @ShaolinMonk for being 2 Months and 5 Days Smoke Free! Well done Potts.... you have made a wonderful start to your quit and have become our poster child for proof that you should never stop giving up on quitting. I am so proud of how far you have come. So sit back and enjoy the congratulations you have earnt. Make sure you do something special to reward yourself too. Its all part of re-programming your brain, teaching it that we don't need smokes to celebrate how awesome we are.

Congratulations @albert for being 11 months smoke free! Well done Albert. This is your last month aversary cos omg in a few short days you are going to be one month smoke free. Rewards are still important some make sure you you something special to celebrate your achievements. 11 whole months, what a wonderful achievement. Confession: I had a bit of a panic this morning, omg what was going to happen next month if there was no 31 to celebrate your one year anniversary.... I mean a real panic.... um of course there is going to be a 31 in th the month you quit... what a duh moment for me.
