omgg escort reds are one of the cheapes over here lol. i think THE cheapest is about $19 for a 25+ pack and they taste moldy

i try to buy a pouch of tobacco and roll my own because for $35 i can get the pouch, papers and filters and roll about 100 smokes from a 50g pouch.. so it works out cheaper but i prefer normal ones lol

well.. to rent a 2 bdrm unit its about $250 a week (cheapest ive paid for a 2 bdrm unit). for a 3-4 bdrm house(depending on what area) ranges from $300- $500 a week. beach views go up to $800 a week...

to buy a house.. average is about $380,000. but if you want a nice non-scummy area it's over $500,000.

yup, I'd be in the cardboard box! LOL! But then again, I wonder what RN's make there, maybe a higher pay scale!

Then afford the 500,000 non scummy area? My husband and I discussed vactioning there sometime. Memo to self: bring own cigarettes! LOL!

by RN do you mean registered nurse? im sorry if i sound dumb.. LOL

if you do mean registered nurse, my aunty is a registered nurse/midwife and also works for red cross blood donation and she had a huge fancy house in one of the best suburbs in south australia called hallett cove. she paid 400,000 for hers and then sold it 3 years later for almost 600,000.

i think it depends where you work over here. iv'e got a cousin that does nursing and complains that she hardly ever gets anything and couldnt afford rent if her boyfriend didn't have money..

centrelink (government service) give people here between $300 to $900 a week for nothing depending on age etc..
atm im getting $870 per week into my bank from centrelink and with my partners wage plus centrelink as well, we can pretty much afford anywhere over here. they pretty much give you money for nothing! im not kidding !! lol

if u come over here..most hotels are cheap.. and caravan parks offer large wooden cabins really cheap

Can't recommend enough the book- "Alan Carr- easy way to stop smoking" I smoked for 10 years and have quit for 2 months now n it really was easy! I never ever thought I could do it, but reading this book completely changed my views- no patches/ no nicotine replacement!

Angel baby · Jul 11th, 2011, 15:20 PM

I will definately look into that! Thanks!

omgg im gonna have to try and find/buy a copy! iv'e been smoking since 14 eeep. so 7 almost 8 years... i think that's why im finding it a bit hard to stop. but i will definitely have a look for this book because it got you off smokes after 10 years of smoking!

thanks so much!

OMGGGG

this might sound a bit weird but i was getting changed for bed like 1 minute ago.. and i was about to take off my bra and realised that it is SUPER tight.. my breats aren't sore like a typical preg sypm but they are definitely bigger.

maybe they are just growing? ahhhhhhh wtf lol

How are you all doing with not smoking?

DH tells me he wants to quit now too. Which is awesome! But...I just keep thinking about what a horrendous BEAST he turns into when he doesn't have a pack LOL! And that is going to be horrible to quit next to!! Maybe we should take turns quitting lol.

I'm still smoking. I gotta pick a date! I'm going to try after next weekend! It such work! LOL! Gotta psych myself up. I cut down to 1/2 pack a day though!
