• C’mon baby…make me laugh!

  Friday, March 7th, 2008

  Funnymen Dylan Moran (left) and Simon Pegg (right)
  So, everyone knows the old adage “laughter is the best medicine”. There’s another side to it that I think almost any woman will admit - laughter is also great foreplay! No, I’m not talking about pre-nookie bedroom foreplay, but the dance we do when we’re testing the waters, [...]

• Oh my god, trauma!

  Friday, February 29th, 2008

  So, had plans for my weekend all laid out and have had to cancel the lot of them.
  Why?
  Because I just checked my lip (which, admittedly, has been feeling Not Quite Right all day), and I was greeted by the sight of a developing cold sore.
  *insert a 5 minute long endless stream of expletives*
  Not happy, Jan. [...]

• Cold turkey assessment

  Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

  Right, well this whole quitting cold turkey thing isn’t going to work - I managed to distract myself from having a bed time cig last night but was cross all evening, and refraining from my morning one has left me trapped away from polite society as I have a very strong temptation to bite anyone [...]

• 19 down, 6 to go

  Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

  This is ridiculous.
  I bought my current deck of cigs (Benson & Hedges Smooth, 25pk) over the weekend and I’m already down to 6. I’m smoking too much again.
  Time to attempt the quit…again. Last deck, will save the remaining 6 for emergencies, then not buy anymore.
  Ooooh, this is gonna hurt.

• An open letter from my mind to my body

  Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

  Dear body,
  Fuck you.
  No, seriously. Fuck you.
  Come on, play fair. Sure, so I smoke…but I limit my cigs to between 1-5 a day tops and sometimes make it through days without having a single one. I don’t eat junk food or fast food, and I enjoy all my fruit and veg as well as taking multivitamins. [...]

• NQR/Burn-out

  Sunday, October 14th, 2007

  My body has never reacted well to stress, and I think I’ve hit the wall again.
  2/3rds of my meals during this past week have consisted of an orange and an apple, because the idea of stomaching anything else makes me feel ill.
  I constantly feel slightly feverish and dehydrated, I can’t stop drinking litre after litre [...]

• My goodness, how time flies

  Sunday, January 14th, 2007

  Has it really been a month since I posted in this blog? How time flies!
  So, it’s been almost 2 whole months since I’ve quit smoking, which is absolutely AWESOME, especially since I’m no longer bothered by cravings, and the sight/smell of others smoking has no effect on me (well, the smell is actually making me [...]

• no cigarettes, week 2

  Monday, December 4th, 2006

  So Sunday marked my 2 week anniversary of no cigarettes…except it didn’t taste too sweet as I cracked on Friday as I left work and sparked up.
  And took a drag and recoiled in disgust - it tasted horrible! Nonetheless, I wasn’t going to let the taste put me off after craving it for so long, [...]

• Random thoughts - in bullet points!

  Friday, December 1st, 2006

  1. I’m annoyed at the fact that the week has been full of pretty nice weather, and the weekend (my time off) will be utterly craptacular.
  2. I’m STILL giggling over an old aquaintance who seemed to think he was of a lot more consequence to me than he actually was. Mind you, when I read [...]

• Over a week…

  Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

  It’s been over a week since I’ve had a cigarette.
  I faltered today. After a stressful weekend and only 3 hours sleep, by 3pm I was absolutely dying, and so dashed out of the office to have a cigarette.
  Halfway through, I lost interest and butted it and trashed it. It just didn’t have the same effect [...]
