Something I learned in my younger & poorer years was when I was pretty flush with money, I'd hide away 1 or 2 £10 notes. Of course I knew where they were & sometimes they would stay there for many months before I needed to use one of them, but when I was short of cash, it was like winning the lottery to go to one of my hiding places & find that I did still have a nice brown note sitting there.
Another tip to try to help you out if you're running short of money & can't borrow from anybody is to start saving some of your loose change in a jar, say 20p pieces. They soon mount up & a handful of your stash can often help you out whenever you're stuck for cash.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0 -

Why don't you set up an account with another bank and transfer an amount to the account each payday? it could only be £10 or £20 but as it would be in another account you wouldn't see it when you log in to your usual bank - it will soon build up and it gets quite addictive putting any spare cash in there, even if it's just £1 or so.0

At the end of every day open you're wallet and put all your coppers in a jar.
You will be amazed how quickly it builds up and the penny jar has dug me out of a hole quite a few times in the past! I used to occasionally put the odd 5p in as well.
Consider one as they can be a real lifeline for amounts under a tenner!0 -

I clear spare coins out every couple of days. Was a real lifesaver recently when I lost my debit card and then the bank sent me the wrong one as a replacement so I was a week without access to the money in my account but I did have about £40 in coins in the house0
