Mort - a middle aged Girl Interrupted

Grr - despite a 5 month disagreement with the log in monster - just cos I got a new PC - I am back smiley - biggrin
Finally had to create a new account to work out why my secret answer to the secret question wouldnt work - after exhausting all possible alpha numeric combinations - I discovered I needed an extra digit smiley - rolleyes

Biggest news is I have quit smoking - 5 months nicotine free smiley - yikes I have smoked since I was 17. In 6 weeks I will be 39 smiley - shhh , so I did good - cold turkey, full stop, quit one day (I had no money and no choice).

Miss it though smiley - erm but lungs happier and as I developed asthma 2 years ago then it was a no brainer really. Just needed to talk myself round - but this time actually 'doing it' rather than 'thinking it'.

Still got WeeOne, my baby girl cat. She is 18 this year - and the last of them.

Yay! Hurray! smiley - biggrin Happy birthday to your cat! And congratulations on the non-smoking! I've never smoked, but that's mostly because I have a scary number of relatives who do, and I'm fairly confident the addictive gene (if such a thing exists) would be in my blood stream (along with the tobacco and any other crap I could get my hands on!)

Incidently I can't remember the last time I chatted directly to you! I tend to be at the side of conversations, but yay for me being the first to reply! smiley - biggrin

Good to see you again anyway Mort! smiley - biggrin

Good to see you, Mort. smiley - smiley Well done on the smoking. I'm sure it's quite difficult to quit like that, all at once.

Those login "secret questions" can be tricky. I had to experiment with one on another account not long ago. The answer seemed so obvious when I picked it, but suddenly I was robbing the old memory banks to try to figure the answer out.

Well done on giving up smoking.

I've been developing a recipe for an excellent meat-free cumberland pie (I've taken to eating soya 'meat' instead of the real thing quite a lot of the time cuz it's cheaper, healthier and easier to cook smiley - biggrin ) which I'll share with you once I've got it perfected. Just trying to find a good substitute for real beef stock (which I use).

So glad your pussy is still going strong after all those yearssmiley - winkeye; maybe i should quit smoking too...i do worry sometimes that Yoda may be exposed to passive smoking; but at least i've cut down, since P doesn't smoke, so i only do so outside, or in bathroom or my own room, not in communal areas.smiley - applause for you for doing it 'cold turkey'
