Quitting Corner

Naomi and I are giving up smoking as of 08:00am, Friday 29th April 2022. Up till then we were each smoking about 60 cigarettes a day. I once worked out that in the first 7 years we were together we spent approximately £49,000 on cigarettes (and that was at 1990's prices!! LOL) which is some serious money. At today's prices we would be spending about £18,000 each year - OUCH!
