Day 5 of not-smoking, was okay until hubby went out to meet a colleague for beer. Resisted the same thing yesterday more easily, but today all I've been doing is sorting through laundry, washing it to put it in charity boxes, preparing for the Big Move. Am now bored and tense, and he gets to go out and drink beer while I'm inside watching Bambi online while drinking blackcurrant tea. *I don't recognise myself!* :eek:

Keep going! Or I will come and beat you round the face with that giant cigarette that is on all teh adverts. And you are a bloody long way away, so please don't make me.

Does your husband smoke? Can you set up some sort of smoke free reward system? eg not allowed to read/watch/buy something until you've been smoke free for a week?

I think your blog has some of the most balanced views on GM food I've seen anywhere.

I've now resorted to the extreme self-indulgence of listening to old soundtracks from films from my childhood on youtube :redface:

Currently working my way through songs from the Home Alone films.

No, my husband doesn't smoke and hates it with a passion. I'm doing this for him as well as for myself. Given that I'm currently broke, our award system works quite well. If (*when*) I hold out till the weekend, he's buying me a nice warm jumper for the Aberdeen winter, preferably with some kind of animal picture on it. I've also been promised some new jeans and some climbing lessons. Sounding like a kept woman now, but it's just until I've properly quit smoking :biggrin:

Oh lord, realised today that I taught my class maths wrongly. :facepalm:

Now have to spend next Monday's maths lesson unteaching them.

Oh god I should be fired.

Well first taught them the correct method for addition where you set the numbers on top of each other. Then I doubted myself and untaught them that. Then today I realised I had been right all along (you start by adding the units).

FML. The parents in my class don't need to be worried about me teaching the kids Norwegian, they should be worried about Maths :colone:

Went along to City of Oxford Rowing Club to see what it was like. It was awesome. The people are lovely and everyone was very enthusiastic and I felt at home within five minutes. And when I left, a guy said "oh btw, if you have any bike-related problems, just come see me, I have a bike shop" = new BFF I reckon.

Excellent! When are you going to start?
This evening, I had a great outing with my new club - was rowing at 7 which is my favourite position, it was balanced, despite being a scratch crew, powerful, long, generally awesome. :biggrin:

I agree with the boredom and exercise thing. I sometimes read magazines in the gym (I used to be a pro at reading the Economist while on the cross-trainer), and I like watching silly programmes like Location Location Location or Come Dine with Me. There's something about watching food-related tv programmes while exercising... I don't get bored cycling to places, so I should learn to run outside but... I'm lazy. And it will be cold soon.

Saturday if they decide to get a boat out, or Sunday, which is great because I was starting to miss coxing, haha. I can't wait to go out! Also, they said there were no barges on their stretch of the river, which is gonna be nice after a year of having to pull in every five minutes to let the barges go through back in Manc, haha.

What do they mean, I wonder? All of the Thames is navigable by narrrowboats and dutch barges etc. Perhaps there are none moored there, and it is quite wide. I've certainly travelled all the way through Oxford and beyond on my narrowboat, though.
