The end of a 40 year relationship.

It's my decision to end it, but after all these years it's a tough decision. OK, on the face of it we've been good friends, almost inseparable for many, many years, but I've finally seen the light and realised that I'm just being taken for a mug.

Whenever we get together, much as I enjoy it, it's me that always pays, and I just can't afford it any more.

Now that I have made the decision, I feel I can also tell you a few home truths. You make a mess wherever you go, and, to be brutally honest, you smell.

So, you might have already taken the hint as although you have always been a daily visitor, the door remained closed to you yesterday.

Don't even think about trying to become part of my life again, I have a new friend now, OK, it's not a complete break away from you, but cheaper and less harmful.

So, after 40 years, it's over, cigarettes, you and I are finished.

Excellent phoenix, you are doing so well, keep up the good work. I hope that you are treating yourself to little buys along the way, to help keep your spirits up. Not food treats though, that doesn't help really, just creats a new thing to give up. I bought myself scalves, little ornaments, jigsaws, anything of small value but that would give me pleasure. Anyway, pat yourself on the back, you are wonderful. smile
