Ok well I tried to update yesterday but it crashed and wouldnt update, so here goes again

Computers! We have new computers! Jamie's is working perfectly, mine however is not. Jamie and Andy are at this minute driving to RL Supplies in Watford, to get the motherboard replaced as it is faulty.

When it is working however, it will be beautiful!

In other news, Jamie and I have given up smoking. Today is DAY 4. I am coping admirably, no cravings or anything. I am however getting snappy, and have a tendency to want to cry more than is usual. Jamie is coping badly. He has massive cravings, especially first thing in the morning, he's extremely irritable and isnt feeling particularly well. He is starting to improve, however, and being off work means he can do things like clean the kitchen, and play Half Life 2 (on his shiny new machine) to keep his mind off it.

So all in all, its not going too badly

well Jamie's failed his first hurdle.

the withdrawal symptoms were too much. he was getting increasingly angry and irate, snapping at anyone for anything, and was becoming afraid of losing control and lashing out. so he has decided to go for a different method. he is smoking this evening - it was remarkable to see the effect it had, instant calming, he was like a totally different person. although we have banned him from smoking inside the house - he is forced out into the icy cold garden, all by himself.

tomorrow, while we are in town taking me to the Dentist (*shudder*) he is going to go to Boots and get some form of Nicotine replacement - most likely gum, as he has tried patches before to no effect.

what is good though, is that mentally, he is determined to beat this. he wants to quit. which was one of the main hurdles we had to face here. I am a little disappointed that he couldnt do it this time, but i am glad he is determined and stuff.
