I have found it extremely easy this time around, but I'm still waiting for a major craving that makes me tear my hair out (I hope that doesn't happen) but if it does I have to be strong and resist the temptation.
I have set up a direct debit into another account to put the money away that DH and myself would normally spend on cigarettes each f/night. Should have a tidy sum by the end of this year ;D

Would be just nice to have money put away for emergencies Judy, I don't like having no money as a back up :(

I agree Mandi - you always need money for a rainy day to replace broken appliances, unexpected medical bills etc.  It gives you a sense of security knowing you have it there if needed.

I never realised cigarettes  were so expensive until I saw a story on Sunrise this morning. I  was astounded.  It certainly would add up to a healthy  bank account .

Another day gone dede. Well done. Your friend fell off the wagon, but she has got back on it again, so she is doing well too.
