Thanks for that Accyman .. surprising what's on the web ...

Discovered my problem here ... wasn't doing the rolling bit ...

Doing a bit better .. my problem is the last bit where you roll the paper under the other ... think my thumb nail is a bit too long ...

Just to bore you .. an update.

Going backwards again, have discovered you cannot roll that paper if your hands are really cold, which mine appeared to be this afternoon. Need slightly sweaty hands. Had to have a couple of normal ones whilst making cock-ups.

Did learn something new though. Went to shop for new papers (having to keep chucking 'em) ... new assistant under supervision, asked for "those paper things you wrap around tobacco" .. assistant first grabbed tobacco, then filters. Finally youth behind me muttered "skins" ... all became clear. Learnt a new word ... just don't fancy asking for a packet of skins though...

Use a cheap and cheerful Zig Zag rolling device with swan filters and Zig Zag papers.
Device £1....Tips 450 for £1...Papers 500 for £1. (Darwen Market)
Beats the hell out of tailor made fags.

I know Royboy ... will have to succumb to a rolling machine... just that when I get interviewed in a 'My Life' column, and they asked me 'what new skill had I learnt recently?' .. would have had at least something to report to the readers to make me appear enterprising and interesting.

well I think its a great first attempt Kate well done.

I went onto roll ups when I was smoking purely financial but after a while didnt like the real cigs anymore so stayed with roll ups all the time. So what I did whenever we went out I would spend 20 mins in the afternoon rolling my cigs and I always had a packet to keep the rollys in. It just saved me having to roll whilst out.. Must admit though I hated smoking without tips. always made me cough like a miner.

Still im glad I dont have to bother anymore.. been two lovely years smoke free now.. Ahhhhh!!!

You can get filters for rollups, they also make a machine that you put your tobacco in one part, a ready paper tube complete with filter in the other & it combines the two, no need to twist the ends to stop the baccy falling out.

I found them awful to use. never could grasp it.
I just used a filter and rolled them by hand so much easier I though.

And the papers fro those ready made things always left me with a cough.
