Day 13 - 2.30pm

I'm on deadline in a massive open-plan office with just two people on duty - trainee reporter Angela Brennan and I!

We've been working flat-out to ensure this week's paper is up to scratch, despite losing a day last Friday.

Although I have been very busy, once or twice I caught myself craving for a smoke.

This week is going to be a real test. The only other time I seriously tried to kick cigarettes was about five years ago. I lasted just under three weeks. I think I was called out to cover a murder and lit up to celebrate. (A murder was always good for newspaper sales!)

This time, I'm determined to quit for good - or I'll be the one in the morgue!

I've just got to keep busy - and plan another shopping spree for next month's pay day.
