No Smoking .....

Thats it, I have had enough of the Little Nicotine stick taking over my life........well this could be true for most people, but for me its not.....

I have been on this wonderful get healthy and stay fit regime.... all to do with the doctor telling me that one day i will die.....wait there doc.... so will everyone else....

I have high Cholestral, i need to stop eating fat.... good god.... no more cream cakes, no more Lattes...argghhhhhh...

anyway i digress, with all of this Healthy eating and the gym work i have been doing, i though, in my wisdom.. that giving up smoking will also help.... why do i do this to myself.....

So, i went to our local no smoking Clinic to see what they could do to help, rip off my arms or something similar, they suggested Nicotine replacement or a Drug called champix that acts on the Nicotine receptors in the brain to help you not actually want nicotine... hey they sound great... do they do them for cream cakes ;)

So...... 13 days into the treatment..... I have not had a cigarette for 8 days, my health is improving, i can smell the difference between people who smoke and don't smoke.... unfortunatley the cravings for the cream cakes still haven't gone away....

In the past 6 weeks since the doctors diagnosis i have lost 1 stone (14lbs) in weight, my body fat has reduced from 33% (Yes a third of me was blubber) to 26% and i have stopped smoking.... GOD HELP TINA !!!! I MUST BE REALLY SHIT TO LIVE WITH.....

My darling wife thank you for putting up with my moods (Nothing new) and for giving me you unconditional love.... I love you right back XX

oops need to get back to work..... bye for now

Fathers Day....

Sent my father a card, felt guilty, was it enough.... why do we always asume that a card will do.... i didn't even phone my dad on fathers day.....why ?? because i was to consumed in my own little world... If you read this Dad...(Highly unlikely) but i am sorry, i should have rung even to say the same to you...HAPPY FATHERS DAY .....

Tina was kind enough to get me a card.... and a few pressies..... i know, she just wants me to be happy......

I didn't receive anything from my children on fathers day, i did however have a phone call from my son which was nice.... they did send cards, i had to pay £1.08 to collect them from the post office... Its the though that counts.... especially when you have to text dad to send you money because you spent upto your overdraft or you have a special weekend sorted out and need £100 for the clothes and hiking boots etc.....

I can say though that my children will never be roped in to the hype around these days, i.e. easter, fathers day, mothers day etc.... they have never got any money to buy anything ...

anyway off for now and back to reality of work..... still no one looking at the pruchase of the business yet but who knows i may win the lottery on Saturday.... here's wishing

And we have found Twitter

Been a long time since my last post. We have been busy....

All done in Malta, Apartment sorted and things are in place for the move to Malta.

Business has been up for Sale and had a few sniffs but nothing definite yet... The final peice of the jigsaw just doesn't seem to fit yet.

Tina has been busy with the house here and seems constantly to be working, while i am working here, then at home then teaching diving..... guess which i like best

Hopefully i will be able to update soon with news of the business selling... we will see

Later all

Nearly done...

Arrived in Malta yesterday at 4pm, Wind and clouds, but still very humid...

can't beleive that we have nearly finished with the sale of the old apartment and the purchase of the new one, seemed to go on forever...

Went to the Council to get a permit today for the Hi-up and then sat outside Lite-Bites for our morning Latte....IT RAINED HARD ....

Clouds have now gone and the sunshine is beating down..... very nice

Have an appointment at the Notaries this afternoon and then its pretty bay for something to eat and a nice Cisk or 2..

Had a little walk from the beach to our new apartment today just o see how far it was... less than 5 minutes... GREAT !!!! will be able to have a little drink and still walk home
