Day two without cigarettes!

Well I've decided that it's finally time to give up smoking (again!). Overall this must be my 30th+ attempt and after having smoked for 16 years it's not proving to be easy. Some people can just quit; I'm not one of those people and I'm so envious of them. I typically have to endure a long hard slog of boredom, nail biting, general climbing of the walls, biting of my lip (so as not to offend those around me) and mild insantiy.

On the plus side I do get a lot of DIY and housework done. As of today the garden in weeded / mowed and there is some nice new lino in the bathroom! The missus is pleased to say the least.

Anyway, right now I'm in hell. I don't want your pity...it's my own fault!

I have set a target for myslef. Fags now cost nearly £5 for 20, which is extortionate to say the least. So if I stop for 4 weeks I will save £140, and in 8 weeks I will save £280 etc. If I make it to 8 weeks I will buy a Tamiya TRF501X from the USA....and if that isn't motivation I don't know what is!
