OH stopped smoking about 20 years ago now -no nicotine patches or health professional help then. I am still proud of that - BUT it was not easy and the cravings took about 2 years to go. Mind you a lot of his health issues now are from when he had a 40+ a day habit.
If its a help, he used to save the money he would have spent each day on ciggies and bought something he really wanted with it, that he would not have been able to buy otherwise.
Rain here now. Had a little sun today so can't complain. Someone I was talking to last night says the bad weather coming in again next week. Hope not. Only had a few cold snaps as of yet.
Daughter coming for a visit so have just put extra veggies on. Doing roast pork . This will be the last roast I cook for a while. Think we need a change of menu. You have the right idea , Bjay - fed up cooking now.
Won't be watching Ripper Street but WILL be seeing daughter.
Thanks, Bjay--I had a 30/day habit, but have been down to 5 a day for a month now. I have lost my smoker's cough, do feel better, and haven't bought a carton since the middle of Nov. I like your OH's attitude. I have never attempted to quit before!
Geoff, think it was me who survived the trauma of meeting you! Was I not what you expected?
Have also met Pam LL - she's lovely - as I expected!
Sort of watching Up at the moment although I've seen it before, and thinking about sorting something for dinner but fancy something very plain. Pasta maybe.
Can you freeze smoked salmon? Had some yesterday and got quite a bit left - too much to eat in one go. Maybe I could combine the smoked salmon and pasta into something.
Last day of freedom tomorrow then back to work on Thursday.

I think you are brave to do it Inka.

Well, I think that's everything put away for another year. There's bound to be something somewhere madam has stashed.
Jurrasic Park III has just started!!
My type of film. 
Hello Lizzie!

Lottie you were that and more-and you came bearing gifts
Telly viewing is getting back to normal-now an hour of doom and gloom-Eastenders
Never mind Geoff, Miranda and Mrs Brown later on
Recording that-OH wants Robin Hood to come calling-it goes on for nearly 3 hours
-must be all that Noetic thinking that Jean keeps going on about
Lottie-used to sell frozen smoked salmon-so yes
Thanks Geoff! And the apples were gratefully received (and consumed - apple crumble!)
Looking forward to Miranda later. Having a glass of sherry now! Still got a few Christmas bits and bobs left.
Inka, well done!
I'm having my sherry and large chunk of Christma cake now. OH just bought me the sherry on a tray with a serviette over his arm LOL.
Then he went back and brought me the bottle!!
Miranda later, then Mrs brown
Hope we can all encourage you Inka
