I'm giving up smoking. I'm sitting here having my last roll-up.
Why? Well, it's because of the bike! I got it yesterday and I just can't believe how short of breath the few minutes of biking I do to get me to work makes me. I mean, 5 mins riding and a half-hour recovery period is not good! That's it, fag finished, no more...

That's it, fag finished, no more... Well good luck in that noble endeavor - i gave up smoking about 5 years ago and am still going strong! I gradually reduced the amount i smoked a day til i was down to about 3, then i stopped altogether. I drank loads of water and i'm convinced that helped as well - it gave me something else to do as well as flushing my system out!

Good luck Grim dude. You'll notice loads of benefits. After 48 hours go out for a meal and notice how much better it tastes and smells now that your nerve endings are beginning to repair themselves.

Well, that was fun! I just went to Wellingborough (as you do, like ). Wanted to visit Morissons - the only shop within 10 miles that sells mead! It was about 12 miles round trip, with a stop off at Halfords to buy some decent gloves since I was starting to get frostbite lol the windchill was deadly. It felt great to do it though, I feel like someone's been beating my butt with a club but overall it was easier than I expected This no smoking lark is doing me wonders - I've even got some mead!

The mead's only Harvest Gold cheap stuff, but I can get 2 bottles for £7 which is less than I spent on fags a week First thing I did when I got home (after getting my breath back!) was to pour some out. Half for me, half to the Gods, Goddesses and the Earth.

I haven't seen Grim on the usual forums/fora/fori for a couple of months and his on-line shop Heathen Peddler has 'The Heathen Peddler will be back soon. Please check back for updates' for some time. I have tried to PM him with no response. I hope everything is OK. david
