In these tough days of austerity, what tips have any of you's lot to pass onto fellow readers

#1. Do you pay bank charges? Ditch the feckers and switch to one that doesn't. I did :thumbsup:
#2. Are you VAT registered? Switch to flat rate 'n' cash accounting. It'll save you. I did :thumbsup:
#3. Are you getting good value from your accountant? If not, switch. I did :thumbsup:
#4. See also ISP / Fuel suppliers etc ... :thumbsup:
How's that for starters?

Good point, but aside from the obvious health issues, I reckon it's only costing me about a quid a day now, and unfortunately, I enjoy a rollie.
Virtually packed the alcohol in now though.
Glass of wine at the weekend, and that's about it now.
Never been a big drinker tbh, but when I did get bladdered I found it increasingly difficult to cope the next day...and the day after. eeek:
Can't say I'm really missing it either tbqh, soz like. redface:
