I never leave taps running when I'm brushing my teeth and I do the washing up in a bowl rather than washing things under a running tap.

I've not particularly started doing it because of the credit crunch though, just because it's less wasteful and more environmentally friendly

Do 0% balance transfers on your credit cards there are always good deals , look for the 12 mth ones , its amazing how much you can reduce your balance by in a year .

I have started shopping at Aldi instead of Asda , i vowed i would never set foot in the place again after i split up with my ex - who loved the shop- but i save 20.00 a week on the shopping. It feels a bit like shopping in Mercadona just less to choose from.
