Feeling the pinch? We all need to save money now the Pound is now worth a lot less than it was. Here are 10 practical tips for saving money post Brexit:

1.  Wrap and old blanket or three round your hot water tank. If you haven’t got any old blankets, ask your parents, or go to the local charity shop. Old ex-army quilted coats will do too.
2.  Run your washing machine on cold wash, you wont notice the difference, unless you are wearing white shirts to work every day.
3.  Don’t use a tumble dryer to dry your clothes, buy a cheap clothes horse, or if you are lucky enough to have your own garden, hang them to dry outside.
4.  Grow herbs on your kitchen windowsill, don’t waste money at the supermarket. They are easy to grow (just add water), they are good for you, and they make boring food taste edible.
5.  Buy Southern Seas Glasses at www.southernseasglasses.co.uk (Disclaimer: I'm biased as I work for Southern Seas!).
6.  Look around your local charity shop for that ladies’winter coat or men’s jacket you need. Charity shops sell some really smart, almost new stuff at rock bottom prices, and its all in a good cause.
7.  Buy a hot water bottle. I know no-one uses them nowadays, but believe me, in an unheated house, a hot water bottle will keep you and your cat fabulously warm in bed.
8.  If you have a really drafty room, tape over those tiny cracks/holes in the window frame and maybe buy a cuddly door stop too. It will cut your heating bill as well as cutting out the drafts.
9.  Ask your landlord to install loft insulation.
10.  Check all the direct debits taken from your bank account or credit card. Are you still paying for that film subscription you thought you cancelled years ago?
