Brake help!

Changed my brakes today on the 1.6. Bought Pagid disks and pads.
Fitted them ok, took a couple of hours but i'm pretty sure they're ok....until.

1. They seem like theyre sticking a tad, when i pull off it seems something is holding my car back a little?

2. Got back from work, stopped on the drive and they're smoking like crazy!

Is this normal? I've never had it with new brakes in the past!

Thanks
Phil.

Update: Just been for first a slow drive, with gentle braking etc. Then a shoot down the motorway.
When I got back, my brakes and alloys were literally pulsing heat, so i'm guessing my caliper may be fooked? (sticking maybe)

Beg to differ! Your asking is it normal too :s

What I meant was there were no problems putting them on, nothing seemed fooked or anything.
I know what i'm getting isn't normal like!
