    Today I bought one of those money tins (the ones you can't get into unless you use can opener) off e-bay only £1. I'm going to start saving my £2 coins. Got one already.

    Also put low energy lightbulb in bathroom as normal bulb had gone.

    Still eating the 'essential' frozen food I bought for Christmas, so slowly emptying the freezer.

    Paid an extra £10 to my Argos account this morning.

On the way home from picking my daughter up from school I spotted a big bundle of it in the bushes, so I put my hazzards on ... I was at some lights, jumped out, bunged it in the boot ... the woman in the car behind laughing, the bloke behind him beeping cos the lights have now changed to green. I got through the lights as did the car behind but the bloke didn't :p

    Saved me some money - what do I care :rotfl:

    that's brilliant! :T

    - I didn't take my purse to uni with me, so i didn't spend there

    ROFL That's the funniest thing I've read for a long time, but good on you! I'd be too nervous someone would see me, but I think you MUST get the award for today! :)
