    Good luck with the giving up smoking I know how hard it is.

    My hubby struggled giving up, the only thing that worked for him were the patches. I know they are expensive but a darn site cheaper than a packet of fags a day, so may be worth a try.

    Good luck with the new job too with that and quitting smoking you will be able to make huge dents in your debts in 2008 :D

    Thanks for the reply ISOM, i do really need to quit, the main reason is my health and the expense it's costing, it's ridiculous. Think this will be the kick up the bum in which i need :D.

    Hopefully my interview will go okay, i know there's a chance i may not get it although i'm going to go in there, try my best and whatever will be, will be.

    Thank you doodle.

    I already tried the patches but they made me feel dizzy and nauseous :(. Shall see how i get along and f that fails shall make an appointment with my doctor.

    I know it's going to be hard, but i'm determined to do it this time around.

    So my plans for 2008 are:

    * To try to find a new job
    * To not waste money on those unneccessary buys
    * To ebay, ebay and ebay :D
    * Quit the cigarettes
    * Take my lunch to work everyday
    * Cut out those fizzy drinks and start drinking more water

    Think that's it for now, although those above would make a hige difference as would save me at least a couple of hundred pounds per month.
  • I tried atches & they made me sick but then managed to get the lozenges from my GP - great as they're free in Wales cos we dont pay script costs. Does help with the cravings and I gradually cut down...

    Have you managed to quit completely?
