I saw this title on a different board about 2.5 years ago and it's what inspired me to start really saving hard. After rejigging my finances I decided with my flatmate to declutter and sell any of our surplus bits and bobs. None of it was especially valuable in fact it was mainly books, CD's, DVD's, clothing and the like. We ebayed most of it and did a boot sale last year and the year before.
All those trips to the Post Office have paid off because yesterday we were able to book a weeks Disney Cruise and have enough funds to pay for it in full! We are delighted with this and can't wait for Jan '09 to come around.
