    DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

    Prompted to check my winnings and wahoo £100 thank you for the reminder.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    I got £50 but better than last month it was nothing. £100 is my max but I did win several in Jan so it was total £200. I’ve not done as well since they reduced the prize level.
