Good luck.
I gave up 4 months ago. I havn't really noticed a difference in the money as I only smoked 3 to 4 thin roll ups a day so I only spent about £3 per week anyway. I must admit though I have done nothing but cough ever since I gave up.2008 Comping ChallengeWon so far - £3010 Needed - £230Debt free since Oct 20040 -
Thanks all. Its fine at the moment a bit strange to have a cup of tea without a smoke as well. It will get worse later when OH is up and he starts smoking. I feel guilty chucking him outside but he chose not to give up.Barclaycard 3800

3 or 4 a day presumably costs you about £1 a day (unless you smoke rollies - in which case maybe 50p?)
Could you put £1 a day away in a safe place, as a little pile to gloat over? What would you spend £365 on, at the end of next September?Ex board guide. Signature now changed (if you know, you know).0 -
My mum and dad always smoked and I became immune to the smell of it. However my dad started having a sneaky one here and there and he stinks of it even after just the 1! :eek:
Can also tell when my relatives have been round coz as soon as I open the front door it hits me!
You will be so much better off without them!
Good luck and well done! :beer:0 -
