when are you quiting the cigs????? I need to also.
Mumzy! :eek: :eek: :eek: I thought you had quit? Did you have to leave the quitters' thread too? :rotfl: Don't think they like me much there - can you get blackballed from an MSE thread?? Not that I care, I just quit and keep the total tallied in my signature to remind me how much I haven't spent on cigs. Sorry to go off topic on your thread but I was surprised at your mentioning it :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Did you do the 'demotivator' test? (It's linked at right hand side of the page under 'free tools'.) Mine works out at £465 a year!I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.
