I've saved approximately £600 in the four months since I quit. Not bad at all :)

Saved over £700 - have over £500 of it in an "Every Penny Counts" pot that you have to smash if you want to get at the money (or spend a lot of time jiggling it out of the hole on the top I guess)

This is my telescope fund :D

I wonder what looks I would get if I turned up and smashed on the counter in a telescope shop :p

Actually saved - not a lot.

Not spent on cigs - loads = £1387.00,

according to my app in just over 5 months.

The cost of a packet was £8.90 when I quit x 365 days x 35 years = £113697.50.

Now hindsight is a wonderful thing but would you set fire to that amount of cash?? :eek::eek:

I thought cash would be my motivation, too.

It turns out I feel like a teenager again, which is beyond pounds/pence!!

I think I am going to invest some of my money in a tree for the garden - possibly a fruit tree, or a weeping rose. - something that can grow and flourish as my quit progresses....

I'm a sucker for symbolism me :D:D
