Keep your hands in your pockets.

Very sharply on its thorax, the fat part of the chest, to stun it, as a prelude to placing it into the killing jar, so that it does not break and injure its wings which you want to display in pristine form.

Hi Michelle,

The way I penny-pinch is to consult my finances on a daily basis. I have been doing this for about 4 years now and in the first year I reduced our household bill by over £12,000.

I either check my accounts online or ring auto-banking for a statement and make records on a daily basis, it takes less than 5 minutes and the result is you have much more free cash to spend on the nicer things in life.

I also put all my spare change into 2 tins, silver and copper and cash it in once a year, usually at Christmas, last year I saved £530.

My wife penny-pinches by constantly checking holiday websites for bargains deals

She has saved about £1400 on our 2 holidays this year.

2 people 5 star 7 nights a/i Morocco - £710 total.

2 people 5 star 10 nights a/i Turkey - £1110 total.

The Turkish holiday, same date but worse flight times went up £750 within 30 minutes of her booking it, well that's what she tells me anyway!

Also, I never refuse a gift or a freebie no matter how inapropriate it may seem at the time.

Regards Andy
