My Profile
I am 53 years and proud of it. I live with Happy Snaper in our home nest . . now without . . children. We have two dogs (JRT and Border Collie), two pet sheep, sadly no more chickens, two cold water fish and 9 tropical fish - not in the same tank. Well the tropical fish are all in the same tank, but not with the coldwater fish and we now have a rescued one eyed Piranha called Cyd Fishus (think about it).
I run our small self catering business - known to you all as Cesspit Cottages . . . I am also a qualified Reflexologist - which I have chosen to give up due to having a disease which mimics Sjogrens Syndrome, but tests have shown isn't. I have a COSCA certificate in Counselling Skills and am also trained as a Stress Therapist.
I am lucky enough to live next door to Lixtroll - we look alike and sound alike and behave alike apparently and everyone in the village thinks we are sisters.
I started the Purplecoo site with Happy Snaper - very quickly joined by Lixtroll . . . so many people have thanked us for starting up and running such a wonderful site - I thank you all back - but it would be nothing without each and every one of you . . .

WELL DONE! Your chorus of well-wishers is right behind you.
This will be brief as well...bloody brilliant!!
You have done really really well. You must have a helluva lot of willpower. Keep going!
Very brief but very heartfelt congratulations are winging their way up to you.
Well done!

well done ......you must be very proud of yourself....nearly there now...so keep it up...
Big gold star for you! Pat yourself on the back and do something lovely for yourself this week! You are really doing this - you are a non-smoker!
Now you will be able to look back and say "I CAN DO THIS..."
well done you and if by any chance you have a blip and feel weak or like giving in, blog/put a post up before you do anything...
You CAN DO THIS.
If you keep this up you can help me with my Co-codamol addiction!
Big Hug

That is absolutely, absolutely, brilliant. (Sorry I didn't pick this up before). Treble tick, double goldstar, Fifteen Karma credits and this week's Purple Coo Medal for Services to Clean Air.
Next week will be at least as hard if not harder. Be prepared, as the Scouts say.
Oh good luck, take it one step at a time. My dad has the same, he 'stop starts', but hasn't smoked for three months now....keep it up.
well done! I found it so hard to give up but have now managed 9 year swithout a ciggie. Pregnancy was the kick up the backside I needed and numerous attempts!
you are doing wonderfully. And we are all behind you! Well, not literally, but you know what I mean. :)
Well done! You've won my WW comp for the first right answer. Email me to collect your prize.
In rapid brief as have to go and watch 24 (well, doesn't everyone!) but have to say DO KEEP ON with the non-smoking. Having started / given up God knows how many times since I was 17 then I truly know what it's all about. I "gave up" AGAIN 2 weeks and a bit ago (on hols) - I find giving up very easy (after one hard day) but, sadly, taking up even easier, but am determined not to fall for it again! Seriously, I think that it's habit rather than addiction, and that if you do one day, you've done it. But, steering clear of people who might brandish the wretched thing is the trick. Good luck, will keep in touch with this. It's vile, though, because as only you and I and other silly people who've let themselves become addicted know, it's so jolly gorgeous smoking. Grrr.
Just like to echo the chorus of "well done". I stopped smoking on November 10, 1988, and have not regretted it for one day. That I have not felt a single pang or desire, despite being practically a professional smoker (at my height I was smoking around 90-100 a day) I attribute to my surmise that smoking is a habit, and not an addiction. A habit is more insidious, because it hides behind your belief in the addiction. But I'm asure it's a habit. The whole "business" of smoking (for me, the pack of Winstons and the zippo) constitutes a very strong learned behaviour, or something. The trick is to forget to do it.
But, as I say, very well done, and the best of luck. O, and try Fruit Gums.
