The Aussies and Kiwis make better pies than you get these days in the UK. Tried and personally tested. Real meat, a bit of care and attention. Great pastry.

Back to the topic of conversation which sit-com are we all in?
Only Fools and Horses? |
Originally posted by bondipom I found the 3 hardest moments to confront were The post meal cigarette Coffee time Down the pub or going out. The post meal time craving is impossible to avoid. Some people give up coffee I just drank more and am now a caffeine addict. By far the hardest situation was going out and avoiding the social smoke. Those that I knew who were smokers of course were so kind as to offer me cigerettes at every possible moment. At uni I had no choice but to confront. Mrs Dagboy I have know plenty of peple smoke with the patches and they even tried pretending they were still giving up because they were using patches. The great thing the health risks start reducing within days of giving up. What about the after sex smoke? :eek: |

Originally posted by JoB Glasgowbird, hope you kick the fags.. will be your mentor if you like usd to smoke myself. The 1st 48 hours is the addiction to nicotne the rest is just a hobits additcion the 1st 48 are the hardest. Anyway I am off to bed now up early an all that. speak to you soon Jo Like smoking one long fag for 24 hours! Seriously, does work. The idea is that you 'unlearn' the habit over 10 weeks without the withdrawal symptoms to sway you. :D |
On another forum I saw someone say they soaked their socks overnight with tobacco from fag butts so that they got an (unmetered) dose of nicotine all day when they dried out. Cheap I suppose.

Thanks for the advice guys, can you believe that up until about six months ago I hadn't had a fag in 7 years. Don't know why I slipped back into it, though if you've ever been in Glasgow (and I've only been back a year after years down south) you might be aware of how we top some of the most unhealthy league tables in Western Europe because of our habits. Thing is as well till recently I hardly drank anything and was dead into exercise - maybe I just got bored with the clean living lifestyle. But I know I don't feel as good as I did when I was clean living
Of course the stress of going to Australia isn't helping (only an excuse I know, there is never a right time to give up) So today is definitely my last day of fags - but there will be some kind of nicotine - BTW my sister is still chewing the gum after a year!!! |
giving up the smokes is easy-trust me I did it 20 times in the last year :D

Re: this forum could be a sit-com
Originally posted by JoB As each passing day as I long for a new life in NZ, I also get addicted to this forum. Good God it is hilarious, I just sit hre reading the post laughing away to myself. My kids think I am deranged and my husband is about to call for an ambulance. The tears just roll down my face when I read the smart witty comments. I really believe you guys (welshboybilly, PP, nosuchluck, The pleasance gamily, whiskey and everyone else who contribute to the hilariaties of achieveing the dream) could make a fortune getting together and writing the 21st centuries version of only fools and horses. What with the weigh-in etc. Keep it up January for me is a VERY VERY depressing month. I look forward to being amused, as I am back to work tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it. PS. you lot also give excellent advice Cheers Joanne This is all serious stuff! Serious moaning, serious whining, serious bitching. You'll find out some very serious information here.... Like what's the similarity between a pelican and the tax man? Answer, they can both stick their bills up their arse. What's the difference between a brussel sprout and a bogey on the end of your nose? Answer, you can't get the kids to eat brussel sprouts. And what can a cow do that a woman can't do? Answer, stand up to her tits in water without getting her fanny wet! Steve. :D |
Originally posted by seang giving up the smokes is easy-trust me I did it 20 times in the last year :D I agree! I've stopped smoking loads of times. It gets easier each time! Going on and off them plays havoc with the weight though! This is absolutely the last time- I hope- before my weighing scales collapse with the pressure! |

Originally posted by Pookin Try 24 hour nicotine patches, its working for me. Like smoking one long fag for 24 hours! Seriously, does work. The idea is that you 'unlearn' the habit over 10 weeks without the withdrawal symptoms to sway you. :D I took one fag a a time when I gave up. I just sort of said each time I that I would normally have a fag that I would wait until my next normal time and kept putting it off until I got past the 48 hour hell. Apparantly the new ad on Tv is a bit gruesome, not seen it though. I like others avaoided my usual haunts. missing the first fag of the day was the killer for me. It is all mind over matter, don't let the evil white sticks get the better of you. Jo |

I'd be Jim the Immigration Officer of Sydney
As you come through I check your passport and say... "No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no" and every now and then... "No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no yes" |
Pleased to know that we are keeping you entertained.
I actually hold back on some of my stories as I think that people would be sick of reading all my posts. I remember waiting not so long ago to get here, and how every day seemed like a year, but when you read posts from Baldbutts, Pollyana, Podgy etc, it can really re-charge those batteries. Whisky |

Whisky Hear hear! I am (as you can tell) new to this malarkey but being (hopefully) Adelaide bound myself always look forward to seeing what PP has to say. Usually a good mix of entertainment, insight and empathy. But - I do read all comments (+ and -) and find (almost all) worthwhile reading.... |
Well thanx Olive and Whiskey. I enjoy reading all the posts too and bad,...well ok...almost all! ;)
