  • Thank you all for giving me the best laugh I have had in ages, considering I have been walking round with a face like thunder for the past few weeks due to my debts, you have all brightened my day!!!!! :j :j

    looks like level of petrol in the tank isnt a recognised factor in saving fuel.

  • Absolutely fab Moaning Myrtle. I must remember that for this years Christmas Party. I often do the hip flask with a spirit in. Why are office parties usually held somewhere the drinks are really expensive?

    my three year old came up with an extreme money saving idea- she made herself a human piggy bank she swallowed a £1 coin ( she had a trip to a&e, she is fine we just have to wait for it to come out)

    One way to keep your money safe but the interest is CRAP !!!!

    This one is a bit cheeky, but saves me LOADS!!!!
    Take a bottle of vodka or whatever you drink out with you when you go out drinking. Then just buy coke or lemonaid and fill it up!! Make sure you NEVER do it when people are watching, and do it in a place that if you did get kicked out, you dont care anyway!! I save at least £50 a weekend.
    i always used 2 do that years ago get empty miniture whisky bottles from work fill them with bacardi haven holiday camp cos cost fortune but left my bag in the bar had 2 go to reception to see if it had been handed in cos camera was in they had it but i had 2 tell them what was in to prove it was mine couldnt get out of saying 6 empty whiskey bottles emmbarresed still didnt stop me

    Always thought that coasting/freewheeling was illegal because you don't have proper control of the car.
