    I did but I am only smoking around 5 a day which isn't too bad. Only smoked 2 today.

    Good work, I've managed to get a half oz (12.5G for all you metric folk) to last just a shade under a week, which I think is pretty good going - I'm aiming for a whole week at the moment but that depends on how late I stay out Friday night as normal ;)

    Keep it up! (or down, as it were)

    Only get a job if you are ready and you have discussed it with your psych. You will also have to make sure your meds are doing their job before you even consider it.

    That's all I did. I became kind of wary of going out and even meeting new people. I think this job is the kick up the harris that I need.

    I presume he's suggested you start off part time? You'll be entitled to some benefits to make up the slack from full time pay and you can ease yourself back in to work so it isn't too much of a shock to the system :o

    LMAO thing is HSBC didn't accept a Council Tax Bill, Credit Card Bill, working tax credit notification, or government benefit notification either. Nor a payslip.

    If you don't work for the armed forces pretty much all they'll take is a Tax Code Notification, along with either a Full driving license or a Passport.

    Essentially to become a HSBC customer I would not only have to wait four years (or lump with a cashcard account) but also spend £80+ on a passport and / or £1,500+ on getting a full driving license.

    I think not!

    I spent £600 on getting my driving licence. It's possible to do it for much less, assuming you don't fail the tests.
