Once again I have spent a huge part of my day playing The Sims, but I managed to control my addiction a little better today, as there was another addiction craving my attention. My other addiction is nicotine, through JPS black cigarettes. My Sims break was spent walking to shops to buy a few packets as I had ran out. My plan was to quit smoking for one of my new years resolutions, I even set a limit of how many I was allowed each day for the few previous weeks before new years day. Smoking relaxes me, and it reduces my stress levels. I first started smoking at the age of 14, as it caught my interest. I use to take cigarettes from my father (without his knowledge), unless I was around people that could and would buy them for me. I had always wanted to quit before I turned 18, but sadly that did not happen and I can't see myself quitting smoking for a while now. I have tried to quit smoking plenty of times, but I've always failed miserably.

My phone has been broken since Christmas eve now. It wasn't bothering me too much though as it gave me a break from texting people, which I'm not too keen on as it's far too time consuming. I don't mind texting if it has a purpose, such as making plans or supporting someone in a time of need, but people get too repetative with their texts. I haven't been very happy at all with my phone that's recently broken. I've had the model for two years, and it managed to break four times with no influence. I think it's appalling how a faulty phone can be sold by such a professionally company. The phone was a Sony Ericsson wi20, and I don't suggest it at all! I was very upset that Orange had promised me a completely new phone once this had broken again, but unfortunately the phone broke just three months out of the contract. I felt Orange had cheated me a little, as at first I was told it was the third time that I would get a new phone, but instead they raised that. Orange don't treat their customers well at all, but they managed to work into me through using an Irish man on call for customer services who offered me 10% off my bill for my new phone. The phone that I will be getting is an iPhone 4. There are two new editions to the iPhone, however neither of them appealed to me. I've been thinking of getting an iPhone for a few months, and I'm still a little unsure as I can be very clumsy at times.
