Hello and Welcome

When I was at college, many moons ago, we were all aware of global warming, the Greenhouse Effect and the damage that we were all doing to the planet. Since then, precious little has been done. I include myself in this list of "just too busy to be bothered to dye my hand knitted socks with the juice of an onion" brigade - but at long last I have decided to stand up and be counted.I am determined to be greener and to save little bits of my planet, but I refuse to pay through the nose for the privilege. So my quest - and yes, I have chosen to accept it - will be to be greener but save money at the same time.

Money Saving Tip -1


I've added some elements onto my blog that fit in with my overall philosophy. First I've added Adsense and I've put a link on my site to encourage all you lot to add it as well. Why? - Well its a fairly cheap and painless way to earn a little spare cash.

Secondly - I've added a link to one of my favourite sites of the moment. http://www.saynoto0870.co.uk/ If you have, like me, ever got REALLY REALLY irritated by having to ring a premium phone number eg 0870, 0845 etc and then had to listen to appalling music until somone can be bothered to pick the phone up - then this is the site for you.

In order to save money on my landline phone, I have an "inclusive calls" package. Unfortunately this does not include the premium rate numbers often used by banks, service companies, utilities, etc. However there is a way to find out what the alternative standard number is ( starting with 01, 02 etc) - log onto this site. Most of the larger organisations have 0800 (freephone) numbers as well and these are also listed.

So the next time you spend 15/20 mins listening to middle-of-the-road musack at least it isn't going to cost you anything!!
