    Examples could be charging your phone up at work instead of at home to save your electricity,


    Does your employer get free electricity then? Or don't you mind stealing it?
    WHO READS SIGNATURES ANYWAY? DOES ANYONE UNDER 30YRS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOSE AND LOOSE?

    My employer suggested we charge our mobiles at work. He would rather we use our mobiles than use the work's phones for our private calls. :D

    Private calls when working, you have a tolerant employer.

    Hannah - I believe Tesco (one of the supermarkets, I think it is Tesco not Asda) does free eye tests even for those of us not on benefits. Hope this helps you or someone else.
