Chit Chat II

[Papa's new wife]

This is my bum. You likey? What were we talking about.

My love for you all is all shiny and red and flashes on and off like a neon Coca-Cola sign in the 50s.

I LOVE your bum. Tis a bum of amazing. I will touch it next time we meet. I will also pretend it wasn't me but *points at Sarah* HER.

[astrid]

Yipee. The fabulous Sefi has returned! So glad you are back sweetie. You and your bum were missed.

[serafina pekkala]

My bum is made from win. It is a win bum. It is also lucky so touch away, PNW. Shh don't tell the world or they'll get ideas. You may even win a tenner on the lottery. It doesn't work for me, sadly.

I would love to have a Skype time with the ladies. Sounds like a plan. You lovely peeps have done so much for me over the last horrid months and making someone smile is a big deal! Loves loves.

[Son of Tubbs returns!]

I hope you are all having a top notch Easter. Remember, eat lots of chocolate!

[Voodoo Lady]

Hey ya!

Sorry I've been kind of...missing lately. I've been spending most of my time redesigning my website (when I wasn't being held captive by the exploits of Katniss Everdeen). There are still a couple of pages that need work, but otherwise, it's open for business, if any of you is interested in taking a peek.

Hopefully now I can get caught up on the goings on around here.

I didn't eat any chocolate! Although I did have my share of Easter eggs before Easter #naughty. Am hoping I might get one or two when I go home at the weekend too. Although I seem to have broken my sugar addiction recently with being so busy. I had some cake last night as it is best before today and I wasn't even bothered about it. I still have two pieces to eat too! Shame really as it might drag me back into the habit. However I am not throwing it away or giving it anyone! Haha!

[Son of Tubbs returns!]

Actually Beast, I've not eaten chocolate at all this year.That was my New Years thing and I've kept to it, and I don't miss it that much TBH, but I know if I had some I'd be ramming it down my throat!


@ Sheila - Wow, fantastic website. Loved the pictures of all your plants and herbs etc. It's really nice to just go outside the door and pick the stuff freshly you need for cooking.

[Papa's new wife]

Why deny yourself completely?
Now if it something like fags then yes, you should deny yourself, but chocolate won't kill you (though I bet there is at least one very stupid death caused by chocolate, maybe someone was reaching for a bar and slipped and hit their head on summat).

If you don't treat yourself from time to time you are much more likely to snap and eat a ridiculous amount and end up crying in your chocolate stained pants

On the giving things up front I am happy to say that I am 2.5 weeks into no smoking and finding it so much easier than I thought. Yes ok I didn't smoke that many (unless I went out with friends) but I was scared it would be horrific like it was before. This time I stopped because I wanted to so hopefully I won't ever go back to it.
Yes I miss having a fag and I always will do, but it could be worse, I could be trying to quit crack.

[Voodoo Lady]

Agree with everything Katie has said about chocolate, as well as giving up all other non-life threatening fun things.

And suuuuuuuuuuuper congrats on going without fags this long, Kates! It's so much easier when you're tired of it and don't want to do it anymore, and say, "Feck it!" and just quit. Keep being strong. If ever you feel like you want one, have chocolate instead.

[Papa's new wife]

Thank you!
Colleague at work has annoyed me a bit, she expects me to have slipped up and had a fag or 5. She keeps asking if I have started smoking again and then saying "Really?! Or "Are you sure you haven't?" when I tell her that I haven't had any fags. Kinda sad that it seems like she wants me to fail but it just spurs me on even more.

[Beast]

Hmm. Yeah you show her! (Could she have a bet on you giving in? Sounds a bit harsh but could it be possible?) It's really great you're doing so well. The main thing with quitting cigs seems to be that you really want to do it. So many people are half-hearted about it. You'll never quit that way. Keep it up!

Paul, if you have given up chocolate well done you I say if that's what you want.

[Voodoo Lady]

Wow, Katie, what a stupid b*tch! I mean, I don't know her, but she sounds like she's just trying to talk you into failing. I say turn it around and use it in your favor. Every time she says something, think, "I'll show you!"

Thank you both!
It could be a bet - a verbal one like "I bet Kate won't last" and as V: says, I am using it to spur me on and it works.
Another person i work with (who has been with us for just 2 weeks!) saw me going out the back (I was going to buy some fruit for lunch and it is a short cut) and asked me if I was going for a fag. And she wasn't joking.
It saddens me that these people want me to fail.But then they are only work colleagues, not people I would ever chose as friends so to them!

Thank her for her support and understanding.The mean spirited old bitch.

Anyway, are you noticing that you have more money now?

[Papa's new wife]

It hasnt been long enough for for to notice and I rarely check my bank statement (pathetic worry left over from when I was deeply in the red).
I went a bit silly on Amazon and bought all the remaining Lucifer & Sandman graphic novels I needed to finish my collections and that came to the total I normally spend in a month on fags.
Once it has been a couple more months I am going to buy a sewing machine and then hopefully I will actually get my arse in gear and set up a saving plan or an ISA or something.
