It is very hard isn't?

I have been taking Champix, or something, they block your receptors apparently. Allot of family and friends have quit using it. It is definitely mentally allot easier than patches or gum or sucking on a tampax.

The only real side effect is it effects your sleep, i.e. you get less and what you do get has lots of crazy things happening in it. I dreampt (sp?) the other night I pushed my kids in the bloody River, and the lad can't swim! Woke up in a cold sweat after that one.

I always have weird dreams....never heard of this Campix thingy you speak of....is it a tablet? I think you need to be in the right frame of mind to quit and I'm not there at the moment.

I shall be keeping out of your way in all other threads I think.....just to be on the safe side!

[Boboff]

If you go to the smoking cessation chaps they will let you have it, it's a new pill, a replacement to Zioban, which was a bit nasty for some.

With smoking really it's not a case of wanting to give up, it's a case of having to give up, you HAVE to give it up sometime, it's just whether you choose to do that before it has really damaged you, or after.

Cigarettes are really nice once or twice a week if you are lucky.

[Andy B]

Hmm true, I guess though that for most of us by the time it's time to have to give up it's generally to late to give up anyway.

I should stop smoking because of my doggies....I wuv them to much to hurt them.

[Yudster]

You should give up smoking because it smells horrible and makes you look ugly - whoever you are. But if the doggies works as a reason, use that!

Annoying me today is that the telly is on in the background, and a programme I have heard lots of good things about but never actually seen is on - Loose Women. And its total, utter, complete and unadulterated TRIPE! I couldn't quite believe how bad it was so I left it on for a while to be sure - now I'm sure. Telly off time.

I agree, it's a total turn off. My pet hate is seeing people smoking around kids though, particularly, but not exclusively parents. The poor bastards have no choice but to breathe it.

I was watching Black Books the other day (I've got through the first series now - very impressed) and David Walliams was playing a customer. Bernard was smoking in his chair and Walliams came up and said 'excuse me, I'm breathing in your smoke' and Bernard retorted 'well, don't worry about it, just buy me a drink sometime.'

Best of luck Boboff, my dad gave up using champix I think. He said it was great. I shall try giving up once my 1000 B&H have been smoked that I bought in Egypt. About 10years ago i gave up for 3 days, and the first fag after 3 days was just heavenly! Great head rush! In an ideal world I would be a 'social smoker'-the type of person that gets through 1 pack a week. That'd be great, as I enjoy a cigarette, but sadly I think it's all or nothing for me. I always laugh at the irony of me walking to the gym smoking a fag. Also what good is coffee without a cigarette? I shall have to give up coffee when I give up fags.

[foot-loose]

so there is a tablet called "campix" which makes you give up fags?

[rustybike]

Losing half my Bourbon in my coffee annoyed me today. Especailly as it then fell into my mouth despite being very careful to avoid it. It was like having shit in my mouth.

[tricks008]

The absence of Comedy Dave this morning I have realised that I cannot function without the sweet sounds of Comedy Dave first thing. Spent the entire morning making mistakes and the afternoon correcting them.

You should have been told about hobnobs.

They are the marines of the biscuit world, dontcha know.

[MK Chris]

Dip me! Again! Again!

[rustybike]

Muuuuuuum! I've dropped me biscuit in me brew! Get a spoon!

Yeah, I should have known better really. But we only have Custard Creams, Bourbons and Ginger Nuts left in the house for some reason.

[catherine]

Custard creams are my favourite biscuits.

I don't feel very well this morning, I woke up with a headache and a temperature. Ho hum need to get ready for college.

What is wrong with me?! I thought you were talking about alcohol and I didn't understand this post until I read the rest of the thread. Why do I know so little about biscuits?!


Annoying me is Christmas! I want to hibernate until it is all over.

That is a leading question.

I say it's the booze addiction.

Then do it. Plenty do. But far more just like to moan about it. You don't have to participate if you don't want to.

[Boboff]

Um, you do Yuds if you work in a shop. It's the biggest sale period of the year and if you don't get good trade you don't got a job. You are obliged to put on Piped Carols from here on in. It is horrible, in the old days when I was designing and making Christmas Gift Food we started planning now for 2009, by the time the big day arrived you were sick to death of it. However this year, I have Sprouts and cabbage and carrots grown, Turkeys, * and quail waiting for the inevitable, Pigs a munching in the Paddock ready for the Freezer and salt pot, wine fizzing in the Larder, the tree's been spotted in the woods and all manner of pickled preserves from the garden are sat on top of the freezer. I am really looking forward to being at home with my family and enjoying the simple pleasures of joy and happiness and thanks for a wonderful life !

Ha!

[Yudster]

I know. I was winding her up. I think she'd have got it too.....*sigh*

[pjordan2000]

The fact you can't seem to see anything in the paper at the moment other than Barack Obama!!(Keeley, 22 from Bromley is excepted)

[MK Chris]

Well, you can't escape the fact that it is a genuinely historic thing - and not just a media-hyped one, although that doesn't mean the media won't overdo it.

[pjordan2000]

Granted, i accept that, however like you said, the media is over hyping it just a bit....

[Sunny So Cal]

It's media hype but it's for a good cause. That said, if I see one more advert for a program discussing Michelle Obama's choice of dress on election night, I'm going to vomit. There's no escaping it, and, quite frankly, I didn't even like the dress! There's no substance in discussing her clothes. It's best to just leave CNN or Fox News on. Otherwise it's the future First Lady's fashion sense. God help us.

[pjordan2000]

See Sky News seems to be full of the Election at the moment, which I accept is a monumental and historic moment however I just think it is being over hyped and built up too much. Although Silvio Berlusconi didn't exactly help the cause at all....

[thenamesarnold]

Although Silvio Berlusconi didn't exactly help the cause at all....

Yes his quote was an interesting one, and the media have thrived on it ...

The Italian prime minister provoked outrage when he described US President-elect Barack Obama as "young, handsome and also tanned."

Whats annoying me today ... well the papers as always hence i dont read them, just hear about them !!
