Oh no, it's going to give me dropsy and make my serum testosterone go down!

But at least it cleared up my stomach ulcer I always thought it was leaving NZ that did that.

I'll stick to the fags from now on then.

I gave up between Christmas and New Year for a week and a bit and I didn't feel any better either. I felt quite virtuous, mind.

I also gave up for a year a couple of years ago (and that was in NZ so I really was very virtuous indeed) and didn't feel any better then. In fact, that was when I got the stomach ulcer.

I might give up again on Monday but what will I do now I'm not allowed licorice sticks?

I've probably consumed less calories thus far as not dared consume alcohol (loss of will power - hence 4 kids?! ) However, tonite have managed to drink like the true professional I am and get O.V.A.H (That's Oz for "over") the fag bit, but have munched through several counties annual supplies of crudites, dips and Doritos.

Would rather die thin, brown and wrinkly - call me old fashioned?

You two could "buddy" each other!!! You know like they do at A.A. When you feel yourself being tempted ( at 3 o'clock in the morning!!) you should call on each other for support

That would be fun!!! Mazi would be so symapthetic & understanding & Am Loolah would have the patience of a saint!!!! (NOT)

Usually I'd say, "Bring it on" however, she scares the poo out of me!!! Plus is bi-lingual, NZ hating, rolly smoking, Danny fighting/winning Queen of mis-understood! Myself on the other hand have no buddies, like having no buddies.
