    any way, theres one number that keeps cropping up regularly I noticed it the first time I moved away from home, it seems to be on mailing lists, water bills and now my online banking. is it me or has any one else noticed this strange phenonema.
    If this is the number that appears to the right of your address on paper mail, it's a purely numeric version of your postcode, used to presort large mailings, and therefore get large discounts on postal charges.

    Boyfriend & I have saved £12K in two years, thanks to careful budgeting and keeping a record of what we spend. I've never paid myself this amount of money before - it feels great!
