It's nearly Christmas and I've done most of my Xmas shopping. Even bought all my cards! Even more good news is that I still haven't had a cigarette. 5 weeks and counting. Next week is my last test at The Fort. My CO reading this week was 0 again so I'm doing well. Think I might try going to the 2mg Nictotine gum this week...we'll see how we go...
Not much planned for this weekend. Trying to keep it a bit low key as it's still two weeks till payday. I'll be off to The Fort for my weekly NRT and will probably do a spot of Xmas shopping. I haven't got a thing as yet so I need to start somewhere!! Still no smoking so I'm pleased about that, particularly as the Government has announced that from July 2007, smoking will be banned from all pubs in England - shouldn't affect me now...yippee! Reckon I've saved quite a bit of money too. £6 a day for at least 21 days is.......£126. Not bad so far!!!
Well, Indi was absolutely exhausted on Wednesday night at Dog Training as I suspected. Note to self, don't go kickbiking when you have training on the same day. It was probably the worst she's been there for a long while...
I put her down for the test on December 10th, although I think this is more wishful thinking than anything...we'll see.
Been kickbiking again today. She still loves it, although the constant distractions of people/bikes/horses/dogs are a little annoying for Indi and we have to keep stopping and then going again...
Over the weekend, I'm off to the Fort again on Saturday for my supply of NRT...Day 18 and still no fags. Then it's back over the Chase again for a walk with another Malamute and their owner. Sunday, I think I'll go up to Sherwood Forest to spectate at a dog rally with Indi. Never been to one before so should be good fun.
Almost forgot to mention this before...this is Day 7 of "Not Smoking". I joined a Drop-In No Smoking Group in Boots at The Fort Shopping Centre. They take your carbon monoxide reading, you pay a one-off prescription charge and you get seven weeks of NRT (gum or patches). You have to go back every week for your carbon monoxide levels to be measured. You also get some counselling as well whilst you're there. The first time I went, my Carbon Monoxide levels (I must find out the chemical name for that) was 30. Apparently that's really high and not good. Last Saturday it was at 0. Very good!! Anyway, Day 7 and all is well...
