  • Hi there,

    Thanks for your reply. It did make me laugh. However, if you are a real pixie you should be able to do real magic and should not need me to give you my bank account details (Do you THINK I'm that stupid, lol) as, being a real pixie, of course you can magically transport the goodies into my account as soon as possible. So, I shall be looking forward to those large sums hitting my account at regular intervals and I shall be a millionairess in no time, thanks to you.:rotfl:I am uncorking the champagne as you read this sss555s as I have every faith in you!!!!!:j:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    thanks hostie

    How are you guys saving money? Is it out of your wages? Or are you making extra cash?

  • A bit of both. I save a certain amount from my wages, and I'ven been ebaying, doing free scratchcards and matched betting and these go directly into my savings. I also give myself £50 a week for me to spend on going out/clothes/day to day stuff, so if theres any left over at the end of the week i throw it into the pot :)

    Welcome jenjade :T

    Just out of the wages for me

    I did try pigsback but it was a hell of a work and spam just for the very odd £10er M&S voucher :money:

    What works for me is to make sure i'm not paying over the odds on household bills leaving more to save :A
