I'm usually up by 5.30am, Jennie.

Not today, as you can see!

Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning Charles and everyone.

It's wet and miserable here today and we had some snow earlier this morning.

I hope you all have a good day.

Morning all, its sunny here
But rather chilly too I fear
We've had some snow
Well it gave a go
But nothing to make the kids all cheer

I'm back to work trying to catch up
From resting after this horrid cough
So I'll bid you all a pleasant day
Coz on the forum I mustn't stay

Good morning all Ihave just been catching up on your chats from yesterday.
Fairydust I wish I could walk 6 miles in this cold weather - we went to the Buxton Raceway yesterday and it was bitterly cold - (it's on high open ground ) We always pay the extra £5 to park up to the fence which means we can sit in the car and watch. Leading up to the gates was snow covered in ice and a wall of snow each side I was scared sugar puffs driving up there especially when we had to keep stopping whilst others payed to get in. The walk from where we were parked to the toilets were icy (but turning sloshy in parts) and only took about 5 mins the toilets were freezing to sit on and the water for washing hands icy cold!

On getting back to the car I coughed so much it exausted me. Wasn't that easy with 2 wheelchair users either - but we managed and enjoyed ourselves.
Pixie keep going love your doing great.!!!
Charles - you sure are an early bird! - I like my nice warm bed on these cold days. You remind me of my brother who gets up early - even when not at work - he came on Sunday and had been up and out walking the dog then off shooting for a few hrs. Pam

Good evening, I hope you've all had a good day.

My son and his fiancee came to visit today. They are both keeping well and managing OK too.

It's his birthday on Friday so we gave him his cards and a few bob to spend on himself.

It's been a tough few days and the cigs are back in our lives.

I got very ill over the weekend so off to the GP later in the week. It was like coming off hard drugs instead of cigs and was really scary.

We will have to do it with lots of medical help I think as it may have been a reaction to the NRT.

Still determined to stop but it will have to be done right so I don't get so ill again. I thought I was going to end up in hospital it was that bad!!

Anyway enough already.

Have a good evening everyone.

Oh dear Pixie so sorry to hear that - like you say you may have to do it at a slower pace - good luck Pam

Hey Pixie not to worry you will get their in the end.....Pam once you have been walking for awhile you soon warm up.....Im off to my friends now we alternate her house and mine and we have a stitching evening, there are 5 of us, some do x stitch, embroidery or card making....oh and of course a nice drink!!

Sounds great fairydust - I used to enjoy cross stitch the carpel tunnels put a stop to that!!
Hope you enjoy your night . Pam

Sorry to hear you have been so ill Pixie. Hopefully the Dr can help too.

Get Well Soon

Thanks to you all.

I'm fine now thanks Speeds. It really was like coming off hard drugs for some reason so back to the cigs and off to the docs to sort it all out.

Like you say maybe a slower pace is need with additional help and monitoring.

I hope your feeling better now too Speeds. xx
