Ways To Save 200 Quid In The Strike

Post by Wild Cat »

Can anyone think of ways we can save 200 quid and limit the impact on the members during the hard times we all face?

Cancel your Sky subscription for starters as Leighton is rumoured to be on the board.

i cancelled sky mate, you get to keep the dish and receiver if you have been with them over a year.


I also phoned up to cancel my mobile with 3 after the 18 month contract was up, they gave me 9 months free line rental, 10th and 11th at half price and the final month at 35, for all that i got 500 mins any network any time and 100 texts every month.


Also phoned up to cancel AOL, they gave me my broadband for half price for a year and upgraded me.

Have taken the dog & cats to the RSPCA and am about to book the wife in an old folks home for respite for a fortnight - will save a fortune on food and batteries. Have got my old guitar from the attic and one of the caps from the old days for a bit of busking. Then I may well sell my body - that should easily bring in 50p a go - should only take about 200 years to get a fiver.
