    Hi Thrifty, well done.

    At this rate, you will be able to buy your man a genuine Burberry deerstalker for the wedding.;)

    Yes wonder how Daz is getting on - also Shel?

    Well done MzGrim and hello to you Savetospend. Good to have you on board. X

    Thanks Larmy.

    And at least three people were amazed at my success that they are going to the doctors to get some Champix off him. Or her.

    You've done really well mz_grim, keep hard at it, but always be aware it's early days still but that you're gaining the upper hand on it! :T

    A very warm welcome savetospend, all the very best with success this time round. Try to vary the coffee it it helps, any other habit times associated with fags as well, it really does help.

    Great to see you helping here choille, it really is a great help, thanks.

    Good to see you're still doing just great Thrifty, :T your OH too :T and what a heck of a difference it'll make to your pockets, not to mention the health of you both.

    ...and as if by rubbing a genie, Daz appears! :D You're really doing well especially as you're partying too. I can almost 'see' you sat in a corner counting your savings! ;)

    Always good to see you here larmy...with your dreams too.

    I'm late tonight/this morning so will shove off quickly.

    Keep hard at it folks. Stay strong and get plenty of exercise, it all helps you get healthier quicker. You CAN all do it.

    Hi all,
    Day one for me today - I had my last cigarette last night at 5pm - just before I went for hypnotherapy. I did it once before (seven years ago) before I had the kids and styed off it until about a year ago - when a rush of blood to the head got me buying cigarettes again.
    Feeling OK today - my mouth is incredibly dry but I'm certainly not craving mentally - although I do feel a bit odd (nicotine withdrawal!).
    I needed to quit - especially as I have three little ones and I really want to see them grow up. Just got to talk OH into quitting now!

    Buuuuuuuurberry? I tell you, if I add HIS savings to the mix (30 per day B&H) I could buy him one made out of solid gold ;)

    Did you mean rubbing a genie's bottle?! I'm pretty sure rubbing ACTUAL genies could get you into all sorts of trouble ;) :eek:

    Welcome to the madhouse maggiesmummy! :)
    A lot of people recommend ice pops - maybe they would be a low-cal help for the dry mouth? I personally am getting through a bottle of Robinsons squash every other day :D
