    This is a really good idea, my weakness is coffee on the way to and from work,

    I really need to take my own with me and fill up at work before I come home.

    I had not realised it would be this much.

    What a great suggestion....

    piggy banks and sealed pots are just too tempting for me..but transferring money to an online savings account is spot on.

    I am trying to be frugal but I do buy a sandwich about once a week at work. So that lunch is £5 a week, £20 a month and £120 by xmas!!! -- my party frock will be sorted.

    Amazing how the pennies mount up...
