And another incentive...

The extra money you start to save ..

we just bought our new Outwell tent for this year .. A tent we wouldn’t normally buy as so expensive...so we only look at them lol ... well we have one now ..£700.00 ... and that’s just through money put away from what would have normally been spent on cigarettes !!!

We’re quite seasoned now lol , but we go Dorset ( West fleet in Weymouth ) In May half term hols , it’s a great camp site ! , and Cornwall August holidays ..but August is showing to be pretty rubbish now .with weather not so good !

last August Is when I got ill picking up a horrible bacterial lung infection ..and as we needed to get home and it was pouring down , we ditched our tent as was wet, was a huge sunncamp tent , was old and was planning to change it .. but didn’t plan it that way as wanted to sell it lol ..

So hence the new one ...

so yes ..west fleet at Weymouth is booked for the may Half term 👍

I love wales for uk holidays but you can do France for a bit extra.ferry and drive.

never been to Cornwall,will do one day.

enjoy your new tent 😁

take care 😊

keep kicking 😎

It’s nice when you can buy something you really want, rather than compromise because you need the money for cigarettes. I did the same with my first big reward present. Enjoy it Rjg45 !

Very good Rjg45 - you will cherish this first reward, well done!

That’s a great post Rjg what a great idea ! Smoking is really expensive .In my situation I know at the beginning of quitting I spent lots of money on extra food 🙄and that made me feel very guilty .Fortunately after 7 months I’m finally managing foods 😊 and saving lots of cash 👍

Suddenly it’s having all this extra each each month .... And that s another wake up call to what you were spending on cigs !

That's great!! It's weird how we never saw fags as expensive, only the things we couldn't afford because we wasted so much on fags. Thank goodness we're out of that fog.

Yes. You can always afford cigarettes no matter how broke you were , and never any cash in your wallet !!!

Horrible nasty habit !
