    Well done with the fags, I quit in Feb when I was having surgery and lasted about 5 weeks! I wouldn't mind but it had cost me about £35 on patches and gum and I only smoked 10 a day prior to quitting, I'm now on nearly 20! So its cost me a fortune, I've put on a stone and now I smoke more heavily than I did to start!!! lol

    If you haven't already go to confused.com for your car insuarnce. I'm 20 and have had a claim (my car was petrol bombed, but had to claim on my insurance as there was no one else to claim against) for £3,000 as the car was a write off and I drive a 1.9 TDI I though £770 a year with Direct Line was the best I was gonna get as all the others (Norwich Union, Sheilas Wheels...) had all said over a grand! Then I went to confused.com cos I was bored and got it for £641 through Ladybird!! Yippee!

    Breakdown2007- Have you registered? If so, have you signed in properly? Try doing it again. You should be able to go on Debt-Free Wannabe and at the top click 'New Thread'. If that doesn't work try asking one of the people who monitor the site cos I'm not really much of a pro with computers either!

    Still am abit worried about Father's Day and it is my Mum's birthday this month aswell.


    I am sure that your mum and dad will understand. But have a look in the Boots grabbit threads as there are always good buys in there. Always check clearance areas where ever you go. Some times you get some really good bargains.

    One thing for pressies is to make a present of your time. You can print from here. http://www.fun-vouchers.org.uk/

    And make up you own offers like washing the car or cutting the grass. Or cooking sunday lunch while you mum takes the morning off.

    All the best with the giving up smoking you will get there in the end.


    Yours
