I bought my fiancee a mag subscription which has worked out cheaper as he no longer looks at the mag section when we go shopping

Great idea. I tried it on mine, did not work (maybe because I showed that it was through Tesco Clubcard)

I'd like to give up buying lunch at uni/work

Serious commitment here! Excellent. Big money saver. You may inspire me to do this in 2011!

This is fantastic gathering! Let's keep the moral up and tick the days on the calendar which makes me think got to find 1 for my daily spend

First day going well here, took the train to work instead of driving in the snow but took a book. Did pop into smiths to check how the magazine celebs were doing though!
My first horse magazine arrived today too, will save it for a train trip home this weekend. Nice getting exciting post too (only other mail was a £200 gas bill :O) so would recommend mag subs!

I do avoid the daily free metro newspaper though apart from a time-to-time dose. It kind of is depressing (death, murder, accident, cancer, ... etc oooh it is so negative).

When I am bored from reading, I am using ipod. Subscribed to radio shows and cinema releases (free).

Yay! I forgot my number already...is a dolt! The only books I am allowed to buy are the ones I need for uni - no other books allowed unless they have an academic need.

I chose books as there's no way I'd live without DVDs. I'm an English and Film studnet so I need NEED my DVDs/films/book adaptions for comparison. And there is the fact that for one of my first year options, I needed *thinks* 6 books. And for the other which lasted 13 weeks I needed 4. So I have enough uni books to deal with (and a cinema book, and a theory book and probably more books that could ever be read)
