Stay tied to a pager and use those earning for holidays

? What do you mean- tied to a pager?

That's what I do since retiring from the wholetime fire service, I commit to being on call for at least 120 hrs a week and carrying a pager with my local retained fire station, which means that for those hours I cannot be further than 5 minutes away from the fire station.

That's a lot of hours!

How do you save for your holidays?
I tend to bulk buy essential household things when there is a good discount. I use cashback websites and stick the cash into a holiday account. What do you do?

I got back from holiday and hubby had done the shopping. He couldn't remember if we had toilet rolls so bought 3 x 9 packets. 27 toilet rolls for the 2 of us

now if he had used ClickSnap in Quidco he would have £3 cashback coming back to him I haven't bought toilet roll for over a year as I got heaps during an bonus avios deal. Probably another year before I need to buy again
