    I had a no spend day, I have just switched my gas and electric (yes, through Quidco) and have got the OH some figures for how much he could save if he switches (will have to set him up a Quidco account!).

    Oh and I sent a letter cancelling one of my Credit Cards... OK, I transferred it all over to a low life of balance card but at least I didn't keep it and spend on it!

    Had to go to A&E (thanks for scaring me lots and lots GP) and instead of paying lots of money for the hospital car park, we parked in the golf club one next door and paid less... LOL money saving at the time of a potential crisis!
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
