I'd like to start a thread where members can share their money saving tips so that we can all save some cash. Suggest what you like, but the aim is to share your prudent wisdom!
Right, ok? I'll kick off!
Don't throw away old socks that may have a hole in them or spend valuable time darning them, instead, do as I do!
Simply cut extra holes in both socks that will accomodate your fingers to go through and then, hey presto!, you have a pair of fingerless gloves!
You can easily make other gloves too and give them away as Christmas presents or for somebody's birthday!
Get the idea? Ok, now let's read your frugal favourites!
Refuse to pay your Council Tax bill and then you will get about a five day prison sentence.
Whilst in prison, complain to the governor that you want to marry your partner who will allow it for fear of a Human Rights case if he refuses.
The prison chaplain will perform the ceremony for free and you won't have to throw a party in the evening as you won't be allowed.
Therefore, a free wedding, no expensive party to pay for and your family and friends will admire you for taking a principled stand against the unjust Council Tax.
Plus you can still receive your wedding presents when you get out.
Quickly construct a 'For Sale' sign and also add 'Quick sale required due to dire financial troubles, enquire within.' And then place it in your front garden.
Members of your community will obviously be interested being unable to resist a bargain.
They will then knock on your door and no doubt say, 'I have seen your for sale sign and I'm interested in your house, how much do you want for it?'
Simply reply, 'My house is not for sale, I'm selling a 'for sale' sign, price £50. If you don't buy it I'll press charges for you trespassing, unless you give me £20 and we'll forget this incident ever occured.'
Bingo! A ready made business, working from home, very little effort and the added bonus being your customers are those who wanted to take advantage of your alleged dire financial situation in the first place!
