Aileen - good on you a positive change in your life! and promising kids means it's harder to go back on your promise. Jenny - lol! I wish my mum was close enough at hand to that I could raid her larder! 150 miles is a bit to far!

It's my birthday tomorrow and I have promised my grandchildren never to smoke again. So as from the stroke of midnight tomorrow that is it. My drawers are full of patches! Sorry let me rephrase that. I have a drawer full of patches. So for Lent, I am giving up smoking. Aileen xxx

I am giving up absolutely nothing! zilch! nana! zero! I am on my fifth week of being without fags, I have run out of places to put the patches, I have zits from the chocs I have been devouring in place of the cigs, the fat is oozing from beneath my top garments, I get through 2 jars of nescafe a week (not decaf!!!) and you are asking what I'm giving up???? Lol Jacqui

After thirty odd years I am going to try and stop smoking. I gave up when I was pregnant (1983 and 1989) and for about four months a couple of years ago, but I'm really going to try this time, starting at midnight tomorrow... That's my only vice I'm afraid. Sheila

My new Lent Tradition: I'm going to give up one thing permanently (if I can) and one thing for the 40 days. I'm going to give up worrying too much and for forty days I'm going to give up chocolate
