Trying to save the precious pennies

So with the house move coming up, and with me having to cut back on hours due to uni and boytoy still training for his new job, we are very short of cash every month and it's becoming a problem.

For the next four months, I am on the hunt for a second job to help out with the bills.

Here is some ideas I have had for cutting our bills down:

Sell the second car, then we won't have MOT or insurance for it

Find cheaper car insurance for the main car

Get rid of the house phone and only use the line for boardband because we both have mobiles and get unlimited calls for people on the same network as us, and since I have managed to get most my friends on the network it's become cheaper

No more impluse shopping!!!! Always write a list

Buy food online and buy the frozen food from Iceland

Use the 24 hour rule

Sort out the cupboards and sell anything we don't need

Buy housing products in bulk

Put all the extra pennies from my purse in our penny jar and any extra money on the online account into the savings account

Any other ideas?????
