Hi everyone just arrived home after a fantastic weekend all paid for out of money saved by not smoking. I added a few photo's of London, its such a big place the walking is never ending. The good news is, I did it, I don't think I could have done it if I was still smoking. My 9 months smoke free will be here soon, so my reward for that will be a week in a villa in Cyprus. its just wonderful being a non-smoker. Viv

Congratulations Viv. You have been such a good- spirited person and you deserve to be awarded for not smoking. Good luck in your continuing success.

Welcome back Viv. Glad you had a good time.

Loved the photos. Made me feel quite home sick (I was born in London and lived in and around London until 5 years ago).

That trip, together with a week in Cyprus. Wow!!

Now isn't that better than spending your money on cigarettes and setting fire to your hard earned cash.
