    Yeah I've just phoned the Head Teacher and told her that I've handed my notice in so that she can send for a reference if she wants. She said the 5th so not long till my next holiday!! Funny cos I'd used up all my holidays here back in August as I took extra last year so was gutted that I'd have to work such a long time to get a couple of days off, now I'm gonna have 2 weeks WOOOHOOOOO!!! Really excited now :D

    Told DH before I handed my notice in, he thinks the job is great but is worried about the money side. I'm sure I can supplement my income quite well with AQA, ebay, mystery shopping etc etc, getting a dab hand at that now :D

    :hello: Hi All!! Been reading this thread for a while now and what a lovely bunch you are supporting each other!!! Good work everyone and keep it up!!! I am now on my 11th day of no smoking!!!!!:j I used the Allen Carr method.I got to about a third of the book and couldn't wait to stop smoking!! Anyway I have been feeling good, but have the odd pang!! I think 31 years of smoking is going to take a while to shift and get rid of all the brainwashing over the years but I am so adament that I'm going to do this!! I had real trouble with the circulation in my legs!!! Health wise already I have noticed a dramatic difference and have bundles more energy!!!!Gonna do this, gonna do this!!!!!!:D Elle XXXX
    Ps Congratulations on your new job Jo!! I was rooting for you and glad you picked the right one!!!
    Sunday 23rd September 2007 I came to my senses and discovered fresh air!!:j

    Welcome Elly, well done - your on your way, and the support here is great - all I have to do is read this thread and I don't want a ciggie - it reminds you of why you want to give up.

    Good luck

    No wonder I'm always tired.

    Hows everyones day been?
    Off to the dentist for me in a bit. Open evening at school but had to tell teachers no as mum wouldn't change dentist appointment.
