Was just saying to dh that really since I got pregnant (ds now 22 months) we have been heamorraging (sp) money. Initially it was about getting (some) diy jobs in the house finished before the baby (dh disabled and can't do a lot - I usually do most of it!) But then somehow, since ds arrived I've completely lost touch with the budget, and just seem to keep spending, spending, spending. Bought an 03 car last year (need something roomy and reliable for dh/ds) and although didn't get a loan (don't believe in 'em) did use up all money in our slush fund. Have been attempting to put it back ever since with no success. Every time I managed a couple of hundred something would crop up and I had to spend it. Anyway, sorry for the longwinded intro, but suffice to say that I've spent the last 2 days having a real serious look at our finances, and I want to save money everywhere I can, and immediately thought 'I'll bet m'netters can help!' So, please pass on the things you find really successful, I'll try anything! TIA
