  • Hi Taxi,
    just wanted to say good luck with packing up smoking, I don't smoke & I'm one of those people that hate the smell! ( the ones smokers hate ) I think it's worse for me now since the pub/office smoking ban it has meant that now whenever I walk anywhere there's always someone in front of me smoking or standing in a doorway smoking, I can't stand it, puffing the smelly things all over me, next time someone does it, i'll fart on them & see how they like it! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    But seriously, good luck, you will feel so much better & think about all the money you'll save, I don't know how anyone can afford to smoke these days.
    I have cut down on drinking dramatically, used to have at least a glass of wine or beer every night, I just drink value squash now, I'm not quitting completely, but I've probably had 2 drinks this month & that was from the drinks cabinet, left over from Xmas, it's saved me a bomb.
    Comping again - wins so far : 2 V festival tix, 2 NFL tix, 6 bottles of wine, personalised hand soap, Aussie miracle conditioner :beer:

    Afternoon everyone:hello::hello:
    Hope everyone is well:p:o....Thankyou for all the well wishes..they are very much appreciated:j:j....where do I start?....
    Firstly had a cracking morning on the taxi:T:T:T
    I had some patches in so finished my last cig at 10.30 am today and popped back home to put a patch on....so am smoke free for a whole 4 hours now :D:D:D:D
    I rang DRs this morning and got an appointment for 1.30 pm today and now have 2 weeks patches plus a box of gum....an appointment for a fortnight today again and a sheet with the rest of the prescription on...It cost me £13 odd but it's cheaper than smoking...I feel ok at the moment...
    I have updated my sig as my loan of £271.95 came out today..nearly £8k paid off in the latest challenge.and under £32k now...
    Not a lot else to report though so will have a catch up now..take care xx

    Morning all..only been up about half hour.I've got a really bad headache..guess it's withdrawal systems or stress!!!...
    I need to find out whats happening about the remortgage ....they never took my mortgage payment this morning...strange ...am not going to work today and have done my clicks etc etc..
  • Hi Taxi, I suppose you've got to feel bad, before you feel better, I smoked for about a year 20 years ago, used to smoke menthol, I stopped buying them, but my friend who smoked Rothmans was always giving me cigarettes! I hated them so much I think that's how I finally stopped.
    Keep it up:T
