Ok Amy, I'm yours , I'll PM you my email address for the referral. I've just finished being part of an online focus group which was pretty good... I'm going to get £25 for an hour and a half of me giving my opinion . I'm getting it in points to my home of research account, but that is good because they pay out at £20 and I already have £16.75 in it, so I'll be able to get a cheque for £40 soon . I'm a very happy bunny.

When I stopped smoking I went cold turkey and I have to say on very rare occasions I think about smoking but the thoughts last seconds and it isn't difficult to still not smoke. The only times I think about it really are when I'm stressed or bored. On these occasions I just occupy myself-that is easy there is always a job to do when you've got kids. As for when I'm stressed Either someone gets an earful or I manage to count to ten or my OH thrusts a cuppa in my hand and suggests I take 5 minutes to myself. I had stopped for 6 months from february last year but i stupidly had one on holiday!!! Then it got to me smoking when I thought my kids weren't around and I got caught out by my eldest and I felt so guilty that I vowed I would quit again. I feel so much better not smoking and haven't put too much weight on (OH doesn't think I have and that is what matters) and I don't stink any more, breath, clothes, hair etc. It has shown me how unfit I am though and I seriously need to get some exercise-we're thinking of putting a treadmill in one of the bedrooms...until we get a wii at least

By the way my OH still smokes so I can't be struggling too much or I would have caved in by now

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Please note I haven't stated which august!!! lol I will be happy if I have got to £1200 by august or even £1000. I will have a better idea at the end of June. It depends how much I need to put in the kitty towards the mortgage this month and next-or if I win a major competition or if some other miracle occurrs
