    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!!

    was doing really well, then had a bad day on sunday and today,

    went into boots at lunch and got patches from the phamacist, and for the price of a prescription which is excellent!! gotta go back in 2 weeks.

    So I need a bit of help it seems!

    well tomorrow is 100% effort day, and I have a patch - lets see how it goes (again)!!!

    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 x

    today was slightl harder than yesterday I think though. Nevermind. I looked at a dirty smoker with disgust earlier - thats got to be a good sign eh? when I tried to quit last week with no patches, I was jealous of the dirty smoker!!
