I eat and specifically sweet things which is complete self sabotage as I have diabetes.

Better than many other vices Ed. Just think when you can afford to retire you'll have to thank work for giving you all the cr*p days so you were forced to save so much .

I just wished I saved more when I am stressed.

Boosting the FU fund when work is at its worst makes perfect sense to me Ed!

Hear hear. When work was particularly hideous it always made me more determined to stop as early as possible

I have just finished reading a book about caffeine, it has made me realise that I really need to cut back! This week's project will be cutting back to no more than one mug of coffee a day

Cut back to 1 mug from what current intake? Good luck with that it took me weeks to get from 14 cups a day to none - which I did for lent last year. I am trying to get down from about 8 to 2 now but have stalled around the 4 mark.
On the saving front. My wife and I set a rule which was never pay more than 11p ea for a nappy and we never did. (Just to clarify, the nappies were for our baby, now 3)

Thankfully nowhere near that much! Think I'm at c. 1.5 mugs real coffee, 2 mugs instant and a mug of tea. Unfortunately for me, I'm sensitive to the affects of caffeine, so this is probably far too much :eek:

Cutting back will be good for your gnashers too. You will thank me for this tip when you are 50 and yours are pearly white while your contemporaries have teeth the colour of coffee.

One of the hardest things about being pregnant is the cutting back of tea and coffee - it was very hard at the beginning
