Clothes hoists and heater ducts are a beautiful thing!

The jar is awesome and definitely works.

It's coming up to winter, so do a couple of big slow cooker meals and put them in containers for lunch. And I have a word doc of WW slow cooker meals I could send you (it's not 12WBT but its something).

Can you leave the house earlier and come home earlier? My DH does this and it's free to travel in the mornings if you arrive by 7am in the city. Saves us heaps.

Buy yourself a French press portable coffee thingo and keep it at work with some ground coffee. Will save you heaps.

Sign up to the Melbourne mailing lists that tell you all the free things happening in and around Melbourne. There's always stuff for the kids. Free festivals are always a great day out.

I'll send you the details of my butcher. Also check and see if there are co-ops near you for fresh produce. It's a lot cheaper than most super markets/green grocers.
