Just a thought - when you eat dinner what is it that you have? Do you buy ready made stuff or do you bother taking a bit of time to cook something? If you make stuff in bulk (such as bolognese, chilli, stews etc) and freeze it, it can work out ridiculously cheaper than buying pre-packaged stuff. You'll also be doing yourself a favour by eating more healthily as there's none of the preservative cr4p in it and you know how much salt you're using.  :smiley:

This is a great saving method. Buy stuff from cheap supermarkets too, for example spending £30 in tesco won't get you that much, but £30 in iceland or lidel will get you loads and loads.

Fit energy saving bulbs wherever you can, and make sure stuff is turned off at night.

Make sure you don't have any water leaks around the house, make sure if the heaters are on the windows are shut and turn off the thermoswitch 30 minutes before you leave the house too, that'll save loads!

Good replys boys! Thinking about going down to the local pub and asking if they got cash for a few hours a few nights a week. Got a bit of bar experience so hopefully that will work out!

Debating on the drug mule route tho.... Well up for a holiday right now!

one for the woman, avon, sell make up to your neighbours and friends, you get a comission, unless you guys know anythint about make up?

another one, my mates missus used to stay at home with their 3 kids, so every so often, the local flower shop would take a huge bunch of flowers round, she would then turn them into bunches and presentation bunches, etc, what ever was required, a few days later, the flower shop would go pick them up

alternativiely, build a partitioning wall in your spare bedroom and harvest some green, lol
