    're smoking.
    This is what I'm gonna try as soon as I find cream of tartare powder. It's a old wives tale.
    1 tspn of cream of tartare into a glass of orange juice twice a day.
    Apparently it helps with getting the nicotine out of your body.

    ...Something I suggested before was jigsaws...
    A big jigsaw that will cover the floor.  At least a thousand pieces would be good.  I'm looking forward to it already.

    This one, to be precise (or something similar):
    Aquatic Jigsaw Puzzle (1000 pieces)

    or
    3 Peaks - Panoramic - 1000pc Jigsaw Puzzle

    or

    I buy a load of computer components and build another pc.

    or 

    All three!  :smiley:

    You're getting the idea!  You need something to do to keep your mind of smoking and you know computer games is an area when you smoke without thinking.  Please treat yourself to one of the puzzles to help you.  They're both great pictures - just wish I liked jigsaws but I get bored too quickly with them.

    And I plan to buy one computer component every two weeks.  'PC hardware' has just got its very own monthly budget category as I have added it to my savings snowball...

    Good on you for still not smoking!  Love the fact you're calling jigsaws your NRT.  Good idea to have a PC hardware category on YNAB.  I have too but mine is quite low as it's really only paper and ink and I've got large cartridge printer which is supposed to last at least 2 years!  but we'll see.

    Have you got so involved with the jigsaws you can't be bothered post now?  Or is it because you've started smoking again and don't want to admit it?

    Come on start posting I'm sure it'll help you, even if it's a case of drawing the line under it and stopping again.

    No lol.  I haven't got the time if I am putting a jigsaw together.  You won't find me here any more...
