Save money on your laundry bills. Give your dirty shirts to Oxfam. They will wash and iron them and you can buy them back for fifty pence

Always poo at work. Not only will you save money on toilet paper, but you'll also be getting paid for it.

Here's another.

Stop going to the barbers to get your hair cut. Buy a clipper set and do it yourself. Easy peasy.

Yeah I pay $4.50 to get my hair cut once a month but mine grows fast and its out of control at the moment:rolleyes: going have to get it cut!

Well thx for all the ideas, I think have scared myself enough now I'm gonna try to about 2-3 days extra a month at work, which should bring in extra money. But that depnds on wheter they need people to work or not, I'm hoping that I can. What has annoyed while I'm still training I don't think I can do anytime, so over time until mid March grr. I don't think there is much more I can do now, I sat and worked where I can knock money off things, change what I eat sligtly its just gonna be hard going.

Oh I found something to sell!

+1 indeed.....

My old man gave up racing purley due to funding. Admittidly it was a Single and went through 8 pistons + rings in one season, but at £90 each, it adds up.
Fuel, camping, food, drink, tyres, wet tyres, spare tools, spare parts, fuel, fuel to get to event, van/trailor etc...

IF your trying to save, going into racing without sponsorship is a REALLY bad idea.

I would LOVE to get into it, but simple funding as always means its a no no.
