Week 5 & Bank Holidays

Week 5 is over and done with. I have now got to the stage were I am going with out patches most of the time unless like yesterday when I went to a party at the house of a soon to be ex work colleague. This weekend is a Bank holiday which means that I actually have a free day, but like most things I am so tired and stressed that its not until this afternoon that I have been able to sit down and do things.

Next week should be interesting as I have a new boss starting at work and nobody knows what is going to happen. I have decided that I will give work to Christmas to improve and if not the I shall think about moving on to some thing else

Bexhill Beach Party

Well, Just got back from a weekends camping down at bexhill. Weather on Friday was absolutely foul but just as we pulled into the campsite the rain stopped and out came the sun. So Saturday it was down the beach for a day in the sun, BBQ for lunch, in the evening we all took a drive up to Beachy Head. With around 20 - 30 Smarts in convoy it was some sight. Then back to the campsite for lots of drinks and frivolity.

Week 4 - Watch out in the jungle

Well here we are 4 weeks with out a cigarete. Namaged to go all day yesterday with out a patch, Still feeling fine.

The has been doing the rounds in all the papers this week. Apparently the is a group of lions in a safari park near liverpool which seem to be paying more than usual attention to Smart Cars.

Telegraph:Is this a Smart way to see the lions?

Day 23 - 26 - Watch Out on the Roads

Ok I know I'm getting a little ahead of myself but I'm going to be away from the keyboard for most of the weekend, as I'll be playing white van girl moving my step daughter from Uni in Stoke down to Brighton. I am managing to cope just with work at the moment, just as I could do with a little less stress we come to critical points in projects... Oh well...

Now where are those two Sun Sparc systems I ordered off e-bay got to, they should be delivered today....

Day 22 - Smarts and Stuff

Well it's day 22 of my on going campaign to take over the world while trying to give up smoking. Went out to the Six Bells in Boreham, Chelmsford, Essex last night to join up with my fellow smart car owners. Thought I had got the wrong night a first as it was a while before anyone else got there. I am actually amazed at how well I coped dealing with being in a pub with others smoking around me.

• Essex Smarts

Day 20 & Day 21 - Three Weeks Down

Well three weeks done, only another 9 weeks to go till I come off the patches. Went without a patch over the weekend with out to many problems apart from feeling a bit nauseas at times. Hopefully if I can keep this up I should have a lot more money spare which I can use to save up for the dream of living in La Palma

Day 16 - Day 19

Well not much to report over the last few days, though I did manage to go through yesterday with out a patch though I did get a little grouchy towards the end of the day.

Day 15 - Time to Treat Myself

Well Day 15 is almost over, Went out and brought a load of DVD's and CD's. I shouldn't have brought as much as I did but this is my reward for getting this far.

Just out of interest this is what I got:

• Black Eyed Peas - Elephunk
• Evanescence - Anywhere but home
• Kill Bill Vol1
• Kill Bill Vol2
• Hard Boiled
• Purple Rain
• Tremors
• The Crying Game

I know it's an eclectic mix but it's what I like....

Day 14 -- Whooooo Two Weeks

Well here we are two week with out a cigarette. I'm feeling OK, Maybe a little down but I think that's down to the pressure of work rather than the smoking. Tonight will be a tough test as I'm going out to a pub for the first time.. I'll see how it goes.

Day 11,12,13

Well the weekend went OK, not to many cravings now. In fact I didn't put the patch on untill well into the afternoon on Sunday. The say that the first 2 weeks are the worst, well if this is the worst then the next x weeks should be a walk over...
