Any Advice?
Hello all,
I had my first baby (emily- bloody GORGEOUS) 5 weeks ago, and since going on maternity leave we've had to move back in with my fiancee's parents because my maternity pay left us so short that we couldn't afford our privately rented flat (boo hoo!) So we've gone back to square 1 and are now saving for a deposit on another place for when I go back to work.
Was just wondering if anyone has any tips for smart saving and for working out a budget etc?? I'm a bit worried that now that we're back with parents and are paying very little rent we're going to go back to our old ways of spending loads on clothes and things that we don't really need! Just want to find a way that we can live comfortably and still save our money!x

Try and work out just what you need (and a little extra for something nice) and the remainder can be out of sight and out of mind - you will be really surprised how quickly it mounts up xx
