One of the reasons why i like to keep an extra thousand in my account is so that i can have mad months. I guess with thinking abotu buying a house it came as a bit of a shock. But i will not need to take out 500 to put into my savings, and although i'm going to try and book those two holidays, i will not book myself on any other events.

I have the free ski ticket to use up, so there is one saturday or sunday taken care of. I think this will also teach me to stop buying so much crap. I know i do. I have an amazon wish list of things that i really want, and yet i still go and buy cd's from HMV which are not on that list.

Smallkat's list of things to do (or not do) to save money

For one month:

1)Do not buy a book. I have 3 which are unread, and a whole stack which i can reread with great pleasure.

2)Do not buy a CD. I have loads of CD's which i haven't yet listened to. I will start now.

Do not buy any new cosmetics. I do not need more beauty crap cluttering up the place

Sell cd's that i don't listen to on ebay.

Sell Anne Mcaffrey Pern collection.

Stop treating myself to Hot Fat Jackets (4.10 each week). Eat 30p noodles from sainburys instead.

Try to stop having mid-afternoon treats.

Do not buy a tv guide.

That should do it. I just need to curb my spending
