Hello
Still smoke free, DH is still smoking outside, gales, storms, you name it, he's out there!! Thankfully it hasn't snowed yet!!
I wonder how much collectively we have saved? At my count I have saved £580 since September 21st. Blimey, that's like a pay rise!!
Keep it up everyone!!

Thinking of you tomorrow! You can do it, plan a treat for a week tomorrow and then aim to get there - take it a little bit of time at a time (if that makes sense). I bought a new bag today (before anyone starts it was £6 from Primark so I'm still £32 up) and it felt good. Every week I'm having a treat to make me hang in there when the tough times happen, so far its working! Let us know how you get on xQuit smoking 18/08/070 -
