Hiya Minnie
Your doing very well arent you, nearly 3 days, keep it up, my wife is weak (she admits it) she cannot give up, she goes about a week without, but then the need to have one kicks in and she cant last any longer...

Yoome2, never works properly, been on there 13 months now, and it still doesnt do what they said it would, its no way better than LD, most of the time the thing sticks when you send a msg and when it frees you missed the reply, i only use YM2 on rare occasions, if it improves then i may go back on if not, we may cancel in 2004.....:@(

Got Family coming today, for the last 2 weeks we have been putting up the Christmas Decorations up, and today my parents and my sisters, plus my wifes mom and brother are coming to view what we have done, and to to officially launch Christmas here, my wifes mom does it every year, but this year ive got my lot coming aswell, there will be 8 of us then,
must go, go, they are expected in 2 hours, and my wife WONT COOK, i have to do the cooking, so i must go and sort the stuff out, spk soon...xxx

well,im still not smoking, lol,went out for the first time 2day since givin up n i didnt bite any1s head off either!still feel a bit wobbly tho.didnt really go on ld much as it was my friend that had it but i think the games were better!
i think having a day 2 officially launch christmas is a lovely idea!did it go ok?chat soon,t.c,ruth

Hi Ruth,
Your still doing very well, i think my wife would be ready to kill somebody by now, she is able to go a few days without but not many.....

Always have had somebody round to view the xmas decorations every year for the last 19 years, but the last 3
years my wife has asked her mom to officially launch xmas, well yesterday, her mom got here at 11am, and we made her cut a piece of tinsel to get in and officially launch Christmas that way.......
we had lunch wiv her mom & her brother, then my parents and my sisters came at 2pm, we had a small buffet and then they left at 5:30
my wife and her family left at 7:15 last night, but it was a great day, i was very tired when i went to bed, and now im just left with the clearing up 24 plates, 8 cups, 8 glasses etc, plus the the saucepans from lunch, then i got to put all the furnirniture away again and hoover up aswell.....massive clear up job :@(

still not smokin,still wobbly!did u enjoy seeing every1 tho?much as i love my family i tend 2 feel really awkward at family functions as i worry i will say the wrong thing.lol.have u decorated the outside of your house as well?

my sisters have never been here b4 in 19 years, i was a little uneasy that nobody liked what we had done, but quite the opposite EVERYBODY was well happy.....

not not decorated outside, its a bad area for that, they wouldnt last 5 minutes if we did, u started yet ?
WELL DONEE ON THE SMOKING, CAN YOU MAKE IT TO XMAS ?..XX

well i will try not 2 smoke till christmas but 1 thing worries me ,what can i give up at new year?lol.no ,i havent put the decorations up yet.will probly get the kids 2 help me do it.glad every1 liked your decorations.have you got a real tree?if so ur wife will love all the hoovering lol.t.c,chat soon
minnie

Tree is almost 25 years old i think, obviously not real, but it looks real, it breaks right down into sections, it is my hope that it will stay with 6 more years, as that will be 25 years here, its in good enough condition so im hopeful....

how many kids u got then babe, we both had 1 each by previous partners but they live with their other parent
we have no plans for more.....

if u manage to stay off the fags til xmas, you could give up havin anymore kids for new year (smirk)..xx

wow, a tree thats nearly as old as me!real trees are a pain i think with all those needles but they smell nice.i have two boys.they are 11 n 2.wat have you both been up 2 this week?

my wifes been awa away at her moms all wll week and me, ive just been here doing as little as possible..xxx

well lucky you lol.11 days n me still not smokin.wens your wife back?twas my mums birthday 2day so went down 4 tea n my baby brother was 18 on sat,makes me feel old lol.gonna get the kids 2 decorate the tree on wednesday,busy till then but should be fun.wat are your plans for christmas day then?t.c, ruth

Hi Ruth,
Well done, i think if my wife had gone 11 days without, i would be a DEAD MAN by now, she cant hack it, she came back last Friday Night, i went to the Bear Factory while she was away and got her a (Cuddly Bassett) dog, i called him Baxter, she has a birth certificate for him aswell, you ever been ?

Christmas we turn the phones off and dont go on email or yme2, we just spend it quietly together on Christmas Day & Boxing Day, i cook BOTH days but thats ok cos i dont cook either side, i sort of get the week off cos of doing xmas dinner etc. we make present giving an all day thing, rather than give them all in one go, we give a present each first thing, then steadily through out the day usually do the last ones early evening just after tea something like that - this year we will only have £100 each to spend on each other, last year we had £150 each plus i spent another £50 on booking tickets to take my wife to her moms without her knowing, what will you lot do ?...xx

i had 2 stay by myself for the first few days of giving up and i am single now so ive no-one 2 throw plates at lol,u gettin your wife a bear is sweet.ive never been there.where is it?i collect beanie babies,have about 3-4 hundred of the things!where does your mother in law live then?christmas day i will stay at my mums with the kids then my youngest is going 2 his dads on boxing day so i will prob do something with my eldest who doesnt live with me cuz hes special needs.adhd n autistic tendencies.he lives with my mum so i will probly stay there christmas eve.once ive finished buying presents i can relax n look forward 2 it.u got all yours yet?t.c, ruth

I woulwould go buy presents tomorrow but my wife wants us do it closer to xmas, so she decided as she has Hospital on 22nd and we already out, it, it would be nice to go out then and do it, she doesnt like to go alone so we will pair off at the cashpoint, start our countdown timers on our mobiles and have an hour each, then change shops and have a second hour, then it is finished, last year we only had 1 hour and she had 4 shops i only had 1 but i did what i wanted.....

My mother in Law lives in Bristol,

Cant tet tell you exactly where the Bear Factory is, im in Birmingham your in Gloster (i think)
look them up they are in mostmost towns now, its just called
"THE BEAR FACTORY"
You find the skin of the teddy / dog / cat etc that you want, then they stuff him/ her for you, you choose a heart and make a wish, then a voice for your "pet" they sew it up, you pay and they give you a Birth Certificate, really are worth the money, Baxter got his own T Shirt says I LOVE YOU on the front of it,
he was £21 with T Shirt, but as they said in the first Bear Factory i went into you dont buy them, you adopt them and pay a donation (of a set amount) that way they are unique and special no 2 are ever identical..xxxx

is youre wife ok then m8?you said she has hospital?
yes i live in gloucester.
those bears sound really sweet.do they do animals or just bears?dont think they have 1 in glos.maybe bristol has 1.will try 2 find out.think i read somewhere that u used 2 b a dj.so wat was that like?t.c, ruth
