I was reminding myself other day to make the best use of summer savings that arn't possible at other times of the year. and I wonder if we could share our tips to ensure we take advantage of them. Am sure others can add to the list:
1. No heating bills
2. Drying laundry outside
3. Eating home grown vegetables

Free workout with the gardening.
Feeling less inclined to walk around sticky hot shops full of smelly people = less spending.
Ideal picnic weather = less eating out/cooking.
Using less teabags/milk/hotwater as I don't drink as many hot drinks during the summer.
Light evenings encourage me to keep going with jobs that little bit longer."Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W. C. Field.0 -
