Saving money is not the most enjoyable of pastimes, in fact it's downright dull but there are a number of ways you can get round that.

One is to take up gambling and put your entire life savings on Dairy Boy in the 4:30 at Newmarket.

That probably won't help, since failing to notice the clue in the name has meant you've actually put your money on the only Fresian cow ever fielded against eight thoroughbred racehorses in the history of professional racing.

Another would be to pop into your local Haliwest Prudential bank and give the assistant a note that says something along the lines of, ‘Put all the money in a bag. Our personal favourite, however, is to put away a little cash every day and reward yourself for each deposit with sugary confectionary.

Our Gumball Machine allows for the depositing of small amounts of cash each day and metes out quality gumballs each time you pop a coin into its shiny silver slot.

Gumballs not included.
