    I am using Yukki's idea of transfering the odd money over, am putting it in overdraft fund. Going to do it every Monday so did 9.15 this morning, good start!

    Wow, you lot were really going for it yesterday! I'm semi doing the same thing with my jewellery at the moment, though when I've got back from work I don't really feel like doing more work so I've been slacking a lot lately, and I've been going out far too much.

    The moving odd money over works really well, I used to do that a lot when I was building my ISA money up. I would start doing it again myself but I'm already saving about 70% of what I'm earning so really all the odd bits are being saved anyway.
    Finally bought a home

    I'm glad everyone else is managing to make lots. Anything I am making this month is just going to my current account not the debt which is really annoying but we are really skint for some reason. Too many birthdays as well this month doesn't help.

    I have written a dooyoo review this morning and done the scratchcards. Off out to get OH his birthday pressie later but thatnkfully he already has the money for what he wants from other sources so wont cost me too much lol

    Hi there. I have been reading these forums for a number of weeks now, and I feel the time is right to finally start posting! Just want you all to know that some of your tips and ideas are fantastic. Just need to put together a plan of my own and hopefully I can start saving the pennies too!
