One way of cutting down on spends to help facilitate a non-working Friday is to car share.
Just find someone, preferably a friend called either Ben or Jo, who needs a car when yours normally just sits on a gravelly drive. Draw up a contract, split all the costs, design a petrol log with silly sections such as 'Music played whilst driving', 'Roadkill encountered' and 'Degree of feeling that own limbs have shortened on journey' and away you both go!
All you have to do is just keep in text with each other about when you need it and occasionally leave each other little presents, such as Cadbury's Creme Eggs, on the dashboard.
Some say that car sharing, i.e not always having access to a car, restricts one's freedom but if walking a few miles to the shops, making a deeper connection with one's immediate environment, pleasantly daydreaming whilst staring out of the windows of buses or trains and saving around £864 a year is restricting my freedom then cut me out a fast lane and let me have it baby!
