Lets just say.... I was gonna buy a nice big plasma tv for 2k but never bothered in the end, does that count as how much you saved today? 2k (cause i was gonna spend it but didnt)

If yes.... and i change my mind about the tv every day for the whole week i will save 14k a week.:D

Ah, you've discovered a loophole... he he - you could technically 'save' money on that £2k if you moved it to a top paying interest account... joking aside, my old Tessa ISA earned £2 less a month, so a few months ago I saved £24 a year by moving to National Counties!

Xmas pressies so soon - you're very organised! We are avoiding Christmas and New Year expenses this year by... going to Thailand. We worked it out and it was almost cheaper than an Autumn weekend break + Xmas spending (combined present, food, drink and going out costs).

So we saved... £50 in regular/normal home food shopping at Xmas, he he....
