    And if I do manage to make it for less than the price of a box of cigarettes, do I get to start smoking again?

    no if you make it cheaper than the fags then that is money to save for a treat/pay off a debt quicker!!!

    Keep going. It's worth it. I've gave up about 18 months ago, and love the fact that I don't have to worry about whether I have fags in the house and where the next packet's coming from.

    My local shop didn't have Camp, well not on the shelves anyway, so will postpone the Baileys industry until after I have visited the supermarket on Monday. If anyone makes some of the weekend - can u let me (us) know how you get on.

    In the meantime 30 hours smoke free, and feeling very weird. Off to lurk on giving up smoking thread to find out whether anyone else felt LONELY when they gave up smokes. How weird is that?

    Ten hours - smoke free.

    I was thinking, if I can get two bottles of Baileys for £10 from Coop, does that mean I only need to quit for two days? If I make 3 days, shall I get 3 bottles? If I make 2 weeks - how many of you can make it to Leeds to help me drink it all!

    H:)

    Me, me!! :j :j

    I'm in Leeds...woohoo! :D


    Edit - sorry, very rude of me - you're doing great with the no smoking too!

    Quick update:

    The stripy food is going down fine - not a single complaint yet.

    Smoke free - into day 4 now - that Baileys is calling me!

    Congratulations so far, Miss Hayley!!!

    I don't usually sing and dance about M&S, but they do a white chocolate cream Baileys drink that's rather heavenly. £5.99 for a big bottle, too. x
