    I know you are itching to get it done, so you can get your secret stash of your fave tipple in there , but may be better to wait until the doc says your are ok.......... [​IMG]

    Take it easy, if you must have a go Nick but only with another pair of hands - get a friend to help. Struggling with aluminium frames on your own, is not for the fit, let alone when your supposed to be taking things easy. :D

    Tomorrow I hope to be a new person [​IMG]

    Well done Nick [​IMG] [​IMG]
    As a smoker myself ( one who stupidly started again after giving up for a year [​IMG] ) I know how difficult it is. The patches are good and helped me stop from 40 a day.
    Sending good vibes and positive thoughts your way mate.
    YOU CAN DO IT!!! I have faith in you [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Well done, Nick. Making the decision to quit was the first step, now you're on the second ... take one at a time and you'll get there!

    Both of us are ex-smokers, cold turkey quitters and t'other half was 60+ a day! Must admit, he suddenly developed new taste buds and is more adventurous with food than I am now. I never had the craving to eat instead.

    I stopped 33 years ago and never touched one since. You have to think of youself as a non smoker from now, I know it will be tough but you're a tough guy, right?
    Perseverance and willpower and encouragement, they are the three things you need and I'm sure they are there. Best of luck mate. [​IMG]

    But, at the end of the day, Pal, YOU HAVE GOT TO WANT TO DO IT! And you do, we know it!

    With so many inspirations here, how can you fail? [​IMG]

    Just think of all those plants you can buy with the money you will save!!!!! [​IMG]
    I am an ex-smoker. I worked with 2 others in a small office where we smoked all day long. I walked in one day and thought how utterly unattractive the other 2 looked - hunched over their desks, coughing and wheezing away. I picked up my packet, broke them all up and threw them in the bin. Not touched one since - 17 years later!!!!
    (Oh - and Mr Honey-Bee used to make me clean my teeth - 'coz he said it was like kissing an ashtray!!!!) [​IMG]
