Big thank you

Just a quick one to let you all know that I am back on track again and to say a big big big thank you to everyone for their helpful comments and kick up the bums.

On another point I am entering into day two of both my Oh and I quitting smoking. ( the cheap ones all gone and I resented paying £5.15 a packet. )

So hopefully it will go well and as I have caught up on my sleep i am no longer grouchy and feeling sorry for myself.

If I can return the favour to you all at any time let me know.

    Well done Marie!! ((Hugs))

    I started smoking at 8 (don't ask) and stopped 13 years later at 21. Giving up smoking is definitely one of the best things I've ever done, so I definitely know what you must be going through. I wish you and your OH good luck and know that you can do it!

    Ill be rooting for you marie

    Ive been toying with the idea of giving up, 5.15 a day to throw at the barclaycard, even if I start again as long as Ive been saving some, its better than nothing.

    Good for you with OH on board, my OH wont really consider it!!
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
