First of all I want to thank all of you who commented on my last blog with your supportive responses it means alot!
I have slid-back a bit since my last post with regards to spending alot of time in bed and not going to my kung-fu, but I'm getting a bit better again. I didn't see much point in going to kung-fu whilst I was smoking 30+fags a day, as I was just not getting any fitter. I have been really desperate to stop smoking for ages but have just not been able to do it. I am, however, going to a professional clinic on saturday which I am determined will stop me smoking for good. They offer a money back guarantee, and based on this there is a 90+% success rate! My thinking is that when I am no longer smoking I can go back to kung-fu in a much better frame of mind knowing I will get fitter as time progresses.
Another positive thing that has happened is that I am now doing a course called the Community Certificate in Mental Health or CCMH for short. It is a very involved, quite intense and challenging course but I feel ready to do it (I'll give it my best shot anyway!) I also intend do do a computer course to improve my I.T skills to improve my job prospects in the future and also hopefully to enjoy as an end in itself.
I hope you are all doing o.k. out there and once my computer is up and running (the bastards didn't send the instruction manual so I've had to get a mate to print it off their website and it was 166 pages long!) I will be able to blog more often and comment on your blogs alot more frequently!
By the way Emma it's 'Highway to Hell' but i'm not splitting hairs :-) and I am really looking forward to us getting together and performing a jamming session!
Anyway I've waffled on enough now, so take care and I'll see you all soon (metaphorically speaking!)

Hello Simon-
Guess what dude? I am typing this from a computer at M.A.G.M.H. (I hate the flippin' keyboard on a laptop!)
What's this about: "a jamming session!"? Eh Simon? What type of jam are we talking about? Strawberry? Raspberry? or what?
Just think, you could put the jam on your waffles.
I'm on the 'Stairway to Hell'?

Hi Simes,
Hope the smoking clinic works out for you. I'm certain that when you stop it will make an imeasureable difference to the whole kung fu thing. My error on teh highway/stairway thing. I was clearly getting a wee but muddled. Good to see you the other week by the way and hoping to see you tomorrow.
take good care,
Em .
Hi Simon,

Good luck with quiting smoking, you seem to be doing great, you have my utmost admiration.
Take care. D x
hello simon,
it is really good to read your blog simon, your pure honesty and sheer determination that is obvious in what you write is such an inspiration to me.
i'll keep me fingrs crossed for you on the smoking front or not smoking front, i should imagine its a case of it being more difficult at first but it easing off as time passes and the beinifits will out weigh the costs ten fold.
i'll look forward to reading your next blog.
