A really good way to save up cash is to get a coffee can, and throw ALL your spare change in it. Then DON'T TOUCH IT. You'd be amazed how much you can put away over time =)

The best bargins are when you book up to a year in advance. You have enough time to save to pay for it, brochures print many editions during the couse of a year or so, the first edition being the cheapest. As time goes on and they reprint the prices can increase drasticly. Also when you book in advance you have more choice of places to stay in the best locations and central accomodation rather than be left with the places/accomodation no-one wanted by booking last minute. You also have enough time to pay for something more exotic with more spending money. The cheapest places in the world to be on holiday must be Thailand or India, theres loads to see and do and you wont have to look at prices as you will live like a king and be able to eat anywhere or travel anywhere for extremly low prices. Eg pizza hut meal £1, taxis 50p, mealin 5* hotel under £5 ! Gold is also very cheap and you can get new clothes tailored and made for silly money.
