So its been over a week for me now, and I have £160 in my Jar, or at least I did... my sparkly party shoes were £60, so I have £100 currently so I am using it to get my teeth whitened 
I have wanted to get it done for years, but seemed pointless while I was still smoking. I will get myself booked in for the end of the month
What has your extra cash gone on? Or is it lots of little treats for you, rather than big things?
Have a great day,
Al xx
Wow you deserve your sparklies. My money goes on clothes etc without worrying if I can afford them. great to not waste it on cigs.
It is a fab feeling isnt it :), i see it, i want it, i buy it lol x
Just been on to a site (canstopsmoking.com/tools/co...
to work out how much on average I have wasted on ciggys since I was 17.
OMG. £104938.
I know its terrifying, i worked out it was about 50k for me 
Al, that is absolutely brilliant! Well done to you!
I did set up a post, ages and ages ago that was to display what members had spent their money on - I think it was before the site was updated though. I'll have a little goosey gander and see if I can find it...
Well done to you
ooh cool thanks emjay x

I buy beads,my most expensive habit (call it an addiction really) I'm not working because of the back (haven't really worked since 2011 except for a 6 month contract from April last year,I managed to collapse with stomach pain 3 weeks after I started and had emergency Gall bladder surgery which laid me low for 8 weeks!!) So whilst money is tight I only spent money on what I saw as essential (cigs) now I get to indulge my guilty beading habit and hubby no longer moans.
Hey H,
Better a bead addiction than a nicotine one....ouch at gall bladder issues , my mum suffered from issues with hers, nasty indeed, you need to post some pics of the stuff you make x
My tenth month quit
My biggest test
My Quit September 2013
I already suffer from depression.. how much worse will it get when I stop smoking?
Too much in my head!!!
