Easy - turn off the heating and stay at home under the duvet with the one you love .

Do I need to do anything to the apple first (cut it?) I've tried storing my potatoes everywhere throughout my flat and they start sprouting so quickly, even bought an expensive potato bag from Lakeland, which doesn't help!

Unless you're prepared to keep your flat really cold, you're better off eating rice or other dried grains rather than spuds.

Heather McGregor looks fab, travelling First Class but it is apparent that Mrs Moneypenny does not need to scrimp and save like us underlings....

Moneysaving Holidays to my mind Holidays of Leisure and Repose.

I do know of a website called Help Exchange??? where you get Free Hols for helping out a good idea but not in luxurious idleness category.

Yup,I mean how many people decant golden syrup out of the tin into a glass jar & how do you get the dregs out of the tin?...not to mention putting it in a jam jar would make it go off quicker (chrystalize)

I always buy golden syrup in a jar - the Tesco value one comes in a jar and it doesn't crystalise.

Re using one's most humble abode as Holiday Home, maybe Cleanliness is literally next to Godliness?

Sometimes first class on trains can be cheaper, and it's quite often not much more expensive.

yes but as the programme is showing how to do thing for nearly next to nothing say by eating offal, remelting used candles etc. surely first class rail travel is a wee bit hypocritical???

The idea of a holiday house swap fills me with horror! I wouldn't like strangers kipping in my bed and using my stuff thanks.

Will try the apple thing as a last resort. If it doesn't work for me, it's back to pasta and rice or raising a few smiles in the greengrocers when I ask for one potato, two if I'm having mash!
