I posted about this in the Frugal Living thread, but perhaps it would have been best here.

The scheme is due to end in January 2012, so I think it warrants a bit of extra publicity to make sure as many people as possible know about it before it's too late.I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.
