  • As for me...

    After months of reading these forums I have actualyl started to post on them:money:

    I found out the password to works franking machine so i can do all my post for free

    I walked a bit to work which takes ten mins but knocks loads off my transport costs

    Im not going to the vending machine but going hungry to lunch (i did forget to make my lunch today but I will only get sub of the day from subway-best i can do really!)

    Im building up a collection of freebies so that when I move into a flat after xmas I will hopefully have a nice suppliy of toiletries to keep me going for a while

    Im entering competions

    Im learning about the matched betting loophole in the forums. I made £500 in two weeks doing online blackjack gambling last year so am keen to exploit this loop hole too.

    Im going to buy a cheap 2ltr bottle of cider for the party im going to this saturday instead of buying loads of larger!!! And instead of ordering pizza for said party im gonna buy a pizza and cook it, then only eat half and have the rest for hangover breakfast - alittle rank but its cheap!
