If the going gets tough, try out e-cigs, better than patches!

I have had friends use those e cigarettes and have used them for about a day before getting fed up and moving back to their cigarettes lol. Doesn't really leave me with much hope.
I guess, if the currency converts favorably 17p is about 14 Rupees? so if that's per hour, someone can make around 112 rupees per 8 hour day. The question is, how much can one do with 112 rupees per day?

Have had my own bit of a helping hand recently ... You know I've been trying to lose 7lbs - 9lbs winter fat for a whole year? I got a virus that left me not wanting to eat and lost 6lbs in 6 days - only another 3lbs to go!

Would that virus last a trip to SA

Seriously though, I hope you're feeling better and that the virus has passed.
I added it here to be safe .

Impoverished factory workers are paid as little as 17p an hour to make luxury handbags made popular by Pippa Middleton, it was revealed yesterday.
British fashion brand Modalu London has named a range after Pippa and bosses are quick to boast how much she loves their products.

'Tis kinda shocking to find that out to be honest. What do you think? Should the workers be paid more according to the profits made by the manufacturers?
Barclays Bank told to pay 21st January 2013 10:21 AM
Sorry to bump the thread, but i found some more info here at the independant.

Barclays was hit by further damaging revelations about the culture that was allowed to flourish in certain parts of the bank yesterday after it emerged that a senior executive had suppressed a damaging report into Barclays Wealth in America. The report, compiled by consultancy firm Genesis Ventures, was said by a Sunday newspaper to have sharply criticised a "revenue at all costs" strategy and a "culture that is high-risk and actively hostile to compliance".

That doesn't really sound good at all.

More like a blue Sunday, but yea. I've failed a few more times than that. My only saving grace is that each time I stop for a little longer.

Thank you for your support, and from everyone here at the forum. You have no idea how much its appreciated.

Wish I had some good news, but I don't. I did it again. I had an extremely rough weekend (well, Sunday night anyway), and looked to the one thing that could keep me calm. Back to square one it seems. I'm sorry I let everyone down.

Here's another. Had to track it down this morning though. Heard it again for the first time in centuries when I was watching snake in the eagle's shadow.

From 1977 (I think?) Space - Magic Fly
