    Lewki, when you work it out like that it seems even worse, the number of times I ended up with chocolate, and mints, and maybe a magazine(if I had no cash and there was a minimum spend on your card). Also how much did we spend on lighter! Just been into Tescos (didn't buy a thing!!!!) they are £1.09 each for a chuck away one. :eek:


    :eek: I was forever buying lighters and then forever finding them again.

    Quite pleased as I might even save my food budget next week as OH is away! Will just need milk

  • There was me feeling all positive and what happens 3.30 rolls up, wasn't even looking at the time, wanted to get up an go outside!! have managed to stay put though.

    Did get asked by someone else not 10 mins before if I had a spare cig, "no sorry I haven't had any since yesterday! thats a whole 1 day 7 hours etc etc " was impressed with that but not the carp bit afterwards.

    Feel better now, well a bit not looking forward to the 2 1/2 hours in the car tomoz. Maybe I should take some carrots with me. :rotfl:

    I too clock watched between 3 and 3.30 but got through it.

    Having no coat has really helped today!

    Microtabs are good and I'm also puffing on the inhalotor thingy like Popeye (when no one is looking).
