Right, that's it I've decided. I'm going to stop smoking on Monday.

Would anyone like to join me?

I've tried everything - gum made me choke, I developed an allergy to the patches and had huge lumps everywhere I put a patch (my I felt attractive!). I tried the medicine that the doctor prescribed (can't remember the name but it is late!) and I got chest pains so came right off.

I started Atkins 5 days ago and I've lost 6 pounds so am feeling extremely proud of myself. So I thought in for a penny in for a pound.

DH is off to a rock festival with his mates this weekend so I don't think it would be a good idea to start now - not with a 6 and a 3 year old whose favourite hobbies are fighting each other and tell tales on each other!!! STRESS!!

Anyway, I go cold turkey on Monday and would love some other soon to be grumpy person to join me so that we could give each other moral support! Basically I need help to keep me on the straight and narrow and stop this disgusting habit.

Hope to hear from you soon
