Off to do bits and pieces today
Mumto5~~ I smoked when I was 16 for 3 weeks, then went out with a lad who I had been after for ageshe told me if I didn't stop he would dump me, and that was a big thing to me in those days, so I stopped, 4 weeks later I decided he was boring so I dumped him!!! :rotfl:and never went back to smoking.
