I was as guilty - in fact I think it was me that started it in the first place!

Well done - have you decided what you're going to spend it on yet?

[Shining]

A nice pot of money growing there Tina, well done and I'm sure seeing it grow is keeping you going x

[Julie]

Well done Tina..keep going!

[kallis3]

Brilliant!

Perhaps you could spend some on coming to the Christmas do!

[Shining]

There's a good idea from Jan x

Hi,just want to stick my two pennies in here,if you want to permanately give up smoking then please invest a little money in Allen Carrs "Easy way to give up smoking"well worth the money,im just about to finish the book & ive never thought about smoking the way this book explains it.its not a scare tactics book,and dosent require willpower.Smoking is all in your mind.Please get the book

[Pandy]

Hope it is still going well Tina, you will need a bigger jar soon for all the cash you are saving

I think she is doing ok on her own. I certainly wouldn't be buying a book about giving up smoking. You either do it on your own (as I did) or use the patches, tablets etc.

[kieser]

Thats why you should open up your mind to the book.Substituting cigarettes for any other nicotine replacement therapy is not the best thing to do,thats just replacing nicotine with nicotine & still feeding that little nicotine monster,I was just purely saying that book worked for me when nothing else has & its a lot easier than i thought.

Hi kieser I think the book is a good option if you can get it from the library even better as it costs nothing to read it, it will be a good resource for some in the same way as tablets or patches are for others, I would never dismiss it and often want to read one about losing weight but never do but I ought to make more effort.

I personally went cold turkey giving up smoking but to this day if I'm too stressed I can have one, but that's it, I have one and then don't need another but for that moment it calms my nerves. 9 times out of 10 I hate cigarette smell/smoke but but that 10th time well that's whole different story. x

[kallis3]

I went cold turkey and would never have another one as I know I would go back to smoking again.

I agree with Lesley that you should try the library.

To be honest Lesley I wouldn't buy diet books - I've wasted so much money on those over the years and it made no difference.
