March
If you like to go abroad in the summer months, start saving now so that you don't suffer financial heatstroke to get away.
To help keep track of your outgoings, you may like to start a spending diary to list everything you buy over a week. An alternative might be to consider only taking out a set amount of money at the start of each week and limiting yourself to this budget.
Daylight savings - the clocks go forward one hour at the end of the month, meaning longer days. Use this as an opportunity to spend more time in the garden.
Why not get involved - if you have any growing or savings tips to share please email them to growandsave@nsandi.com
