Just rang my car insurer to discuss my renewal premium, after visiting a comparison website.

£13 knocked off the premium as a "loyalty discount" - not bad for simply making a phone call :T

Hi all

Really good to see how well everyone is doing.

We've finally set up an overpayment of £95 a month. Just that will save us £18K in interset and end mortgage nearly 5 years early!!

I will need to cut back on other stuff though, and I think this was the only way that I will really take it seriously!!

Have also Balance transfered DH's credit card balance of £3.5k onto a 0% offer I had for 12months, cancelled a £4 DD and sent off CV to 2 agencies for temporary work I know they have vacancies for at the moment.

* Checked Onepoll - up to £10.90
* Picked up cheap Typhoo 100's teabags for work brews from Farmfoods for £1 during lunch
* Cheap meal for tea from stores - spanish omelette with salad
* Made some flapjack & millies cookies
* Took portion of home made soup out of freezer for tomorrows tea with some Spar whoopsied bread
* Cycled to work to save petrol
* Spread some tuna/mayo I had left thinner than normal on my sandwiches for tomorrows lunch to save opening a new tin :rotfl:
* Went away at the weekend and drove at 60 there and 60 back. This meant I didn't have to put any petrol in the car as what was in there lasted which I wasn't expecting so saved me filling up til Thursday when I go to visit parents
