Still going well, thanks for asking. Ten days now.

Still don't feel any different though - can maybe smell a bit better but all the quit campaigns you see say how great you will feel ... and not yet. LOL I know i know, give it more time. Quite proud of myself actually and have no desire to ever have another smoke again.

Wonderful, Jill. I was the same, didn't feel much healthier or livelier. But less coughs and colds in winter. Keep it up its a great achievement.

Way to go, Jill! Maynooth did it and you can too!

It has definitely been a good week, starting with getting my new computer and coming back to FunTrivia after an absence of about two months (due to the demise of my old computer).

Then yesterday, I won $35 in the Lotto (the most I've ever won in 24 years of buying the wretched tickets).

I went shopping at JB Hi-Fi yesterday and agonised over whether to spend $25 on a CD I wanted (I don't usually spend that much on CDs for myself). I decided to indulge, took the CD up to the counter and discovered it was on sale and I got it for less than $8!

Finally, I didn't have to cook dinner in the heat as my aunt and uncle dropped in for a surprise visit (they live several hours' drive away from me) so we got together with other family members and had an impromptu night out at a restaurant.

Well done, Lioness!

You're doing great, Copago! It's still early in the game. You'll start feeling better and better. Just wait and see.

My high: I've been attending a class for the past couple days and today I won $50.00 in the raffle. Never mind that I had to buy the tickets for $20.00; I'm ahead $30.00!

My low: I am back from my trip *sighs* and have some photos to share with you all. Just need to get them off my laptop on onto the forum.

Great going Copago. Keep it up. I stopped smoking 32 years ago and have not looked back. I'm shocked everytime I hear how much people pay for the cigarettes - what a waste of money. Can we expect lots more crafting from you now?

Welcome back Motherfoose. Hope you are enjoying your new computer.

Congratulations Lioness and glad you had a good trip.

Are FTers on a winning streak? I think I will have to go out and buy a lottery ticket.
