18!

Well done, you’re doing so well

 

[YvonneBlue]

18 days, well done you. I will make sure that you get cake when you get to a month.

 

[Hope4gem]

Excellent job!

 

[Lorcan]

20 days, because I accidentally skipped posting about day #19, lol. Still didn't smoke yesterday!

You are doing so well!

 

[Hope4gem]

Great news! Keep up the good work.

 

[weepweeps]

You are doing so well @Lorcan.

 

[Claire W]

Yay, keep going

 

[Lorcan]

it's officially 3 weeks! The cravings for a cigarette smoke are getting worse mind you. Feels a bit backward, right? Still, the path's still going in the right direction.

 

[Claire W]

Don’t let the cravings win! You’re doing great, keep going it will soon be a month

 

[Lorcan]

Don’t let the cravings win! You’re doing great, keep going it will soon be a month

I'm getting that cake! I'd say I'm getting that cake if it kills me but that probably defeats the point of quitting cigarettes in the first place...

 

[Bill & Ted]

No not at all, think of your lungs!

 

[Merab]

You’re doing brilliantly- keep it up.
Oh - I’d just go for the cake

 

[Lorcan]

The cake will happen if I hit 28 days. Not sure exactly how I'm gonna make the cake happen, but believe you me I will!

I will bring cake to you next Friday afternoon if you keep up the good work.

That's lovely of you Yvonne. Will you make it yourself? In the shape of a fag perhaps so that @Lorcan can cut it in half to show that he has given up smoking? A symbolic gesture?

Sadly it won't be home made, I just won't have the time on a week day.

Cakey is still cakey. I love cakey!

How about a swiss roll coated with icing sugar for two thirds and the other third with cocoa powder

 

[Qualcast&Flymo]

Oh and I must add, well done on making it to 3 weeks without a ciggy

You can make a Swiss roll in about 20 mins from start to finish.

 

[Lorcan]

Unless you're me, and would be lucky to make it in 20 days

 

[poggle]

I could probably eat a Swiss roll from start to finish in 20 minutes... does that count?

In all seriousness, if you did fancy challenging yourself to make a cake I have a recipe I've been using since I was three and, while I don't want to call it foolproof, it's really hard not to get something tasty and cakey at the end of it Let me know if it's of interest

Honestly, whilst I have many skills, anything to do with the kitchen isn't one of them. But thank you for the offer

 

[Lorcan]

also, it's now officially 22 days

 

[Lorcan]

Day #23!

In other news I've been downstairs 5 times so far today and I still haven't managed to remember to grab a pair of socks while I'm there.

 

[Claire W]

Well done. Only 5 days to go until you've made it a full month and you can have that cake

 

[Bill & Ted]

yes well done @Lorcan

 

[Lorcan]

yes well done @Lorcan

I know, it only took 6 tries!

(unless you mean the smoking bit, in which case thank you!)

Well done for both!
