    Start doing pigsback clicks and by the end of the summer, you will be able to cash in points for money off pizzas, etc.

    don't forget quidco too. If you get your annual insurances (ie car, home) through them then you can earn a few hundred pounds. Add that to the £40 a month you're going to save on your overdraft and that's next year's holiday paid for.

    I too struggle with getting OH on board with money saving (although he's become a bit of a stoozing fanatic now). I think the key is to be reasonable and compromise (secret to a happy family life in general I guess) So if I were you, I would go for the holiday this year - enjoy it - but agree that over the next year you will both try not to waste money on little things so that you can save up and enjoy a good holiday (or even two!) each year.
    weaving through the chaos...
