Its Christmas in July... you only have to put with it until 25th... then I will leave off until December 1.... then you get 37 days of Christmas Joy..... I love Christmas in July cos I get to listen to songs about snow and not cry because its 35degC for the 4th day in a row... and I get to have hot christmas dinner instead of cold... so all the christmas things... I allowed myself 10 days of christmas music but in our house the music has been playing every day since 1 July.

Hello fellow NOPErs ... so today is International Tartan Day so I hope the wee's have theirs out.... in Australia we are lucky... because we also have National Lamington Day... so despite a nice cuppa tea to wash down our lamingtons today we have the option to wash them down with scotch and justify it as a joint celebration. NOPE .... not today, not tomorrow, not ever, forever.

Congratulations @Grund for being 11 months smoke free! What a fantastic job you have done to be quit now for 11 whole months, well done. Only one month to go for that biggest of mile stones, the 1 year of freedom and entrance to the Lido Deck. Hope you're doing something fabulous to celebrate and treat yourself.

I had no objections @Rozuki my 13 phobia is not liking this part of the game at all... I appreciated your fast forward... I was worried my fact post might be confussing but it was interesting ... and it gave Sslip something to do for a while so it was a win all around.

Hey Tammy you bloody little ripper! How awesome are you????.... What a nice start you have happening for this, your forever quit. Thank you so much for all the support you offer to everyone around you. Its so much easier to stay strong when you are giving back at the same time. So KTQ chooky cos you are already a big part of the QT. NOW more importantly, make sure you do something super awesome and amazing to celebrate your big first milestone, special fancy rewards are a per-requisite for the first month. I looked at the calendar last night and went, no way is Tammy only 1 month. Stellar performance.

Congratulations @Tammy for being smoke free for 1 month! Well done on all your hard work, that is the hardest month done, dusted and in the bag. You have handled it like Tendulkar handled the Aussie bowlers on boxing day at the G.... with class, determination and perseverance. You are doing so well, especially with all the work pressures at the moment. But not only are you finding your way with the quit, you always manage to find the time to offer support and a welcome to others on the journey. So to the newest member of the chicks counting team keep the quit (KTQ). Now the first month celebration is a big one. So make sure you do something special to celebrate this milestone and spoil yourself.

Pot belly stove made from tire rims: or an old propane tank (my cuz has one of these in his man cave, can even do toasties on it):

@jillar so while this cretin probably shouldn't have fur babies, if he only wants dogs when they are puppies, why doesn't he just foster guide dogs, police puppies or disability support puppies... you only have those for 12-18 months. oh... um fvck, fvck, fvckity fvck, fvck.... there swearing quotient met.

Rule of three Fluffy... You can live for 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water and 3 minutes without air.... but really, eating is sort of required to be healthy.

and cos its fun, and when I was little and switched from the pool to the surf and my dad used to drive me down the coast he made me listen to his Beach Boys tapes in the car... so happy memories...

Back at carols.... it is a Melbourne Tradition... and the best way to spend Christmas Eve.... one of my favourite traditional church carols....

Yet another Christmas tree song that's better than that German one....

Morning Nopers... today will be a good day, how can it not be its Friday and Fluffy give free Friday hugs.... on too other sweet things, 20th of July is the USA National Lollipop Day.. so for a lifetime of not one puff ever it is a resounding yep.... but I think I've found a lollipop even I wont try.... NOPE ... because I choose to respect myself. Topic of the Day: I wanna go there...

Happy USA Lollipop Day....
