I cancelled my Sky subscription, when I took it up I was assured it was only for six months, then when I went to cancel it I was told I could cancel but would still have to pay for a year! I was a bit miffed, I didn't realise you had to give them a month's notice, or I would have rung before Xmas.0

I've done the same - day 3 today - must say I'm totally woozy but can smell my hand cream for the first time in 25 years:o
As for the small stuff:
Walk instead of using the car
Sell some eggs
Use clothes rail instead of the tumble dryer.
Good luck to you too cumbrianmum:D

Bought 3 christmas presents and 6 rolls of gold wrap much reduced. Not money saving today but for later in the year.
Eating a great big jar of reduced nuts and raisins so don't want any tea now.
Worked new years eve and new years day for OT.
Well done you 2 stopping smoking. I honestly think I would have plenty of money if I had the will power. Freezing outside on my break today as well.Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination:beer:
