Hello, I'm new

Hello all
I'm new here and wish I'd found this a long time ago. I owe £3,500 on my credit card, which to some may not seem alot, but it reallyis hanging over me. I am trying to save for my wedding in 6 months, plus pay off a credit card and to do both is simply impossible - somethings got to give.
Anyway, today I spent absolutely nothing and I intend to carry on spending zilch. Any tips people have that actually work - let me know - I think I'm going to just go simple and leave my wallet at home everyday - as long as I have petrol in my car and my mobile on me, I shouldn't need any money (well as long as I pack my lunch!).
Anyway, feel I am going to be a regular here...

There are alot of other interesting forums to go on and find out ways of saving money, old style for great receipes and the like and The Arms where we all hang out and have conversations about not alot. Thats where all the fun is had and we relax.£2 Coins Savings Club 2012 is £4.............................NCFC member No: 00005.........
