Well... 3 weeks, yeh!

Big craving last Friday after work. Texted my friend, she helped me to divert the craving. Decided to go shopping and spend the money I’d saved on much needed clothes and shoes.

It was interesting to look at this bundle of purchases and think that would of been 500 cigs.

Like the clothes much better!!
