Making & Saving money for Uni

Ok so I'm starting an MSc in October and have the first half of the fees saved and ready but want to try and get the rest (which won't be due until feb/march) ready and waiting asap so I can save for things after including a move away to wherever I can get a job in my field.

I currently work full time, although the pay isn't that great and in Sept I will be dropping hours due to the course but I can save some from each pay as I get it. I'm looking to sell some things, just in the process of sorting through it all and am thinking of other ways to make some savings (probably for me through things like not nipping across to starbucks in my break a few days a week!).

Has anyone else been in a similar position and had things that work? I'm open to trying, or at least considering, most things people can suggest.

Thanks!

    I haven't no but that could be worth looking into, I have a twitter account but not sure if I want to do stuff like that on there.

    Thanks for the idea though, I'll look more into it when I get the chance
