As of next month I'm getting a pay rise. Then in October we're getting another pay rise. I'm wondering if I should try to live on what I'm earning just now so that I can try and save some money.

When ever some gets a raise they should make sure that there 401k is coming out based upon a percentage of pay and not a set figure. If there is a set figure your 401k will never reflect the raise, if percent your 401k will always receive a raise too.
Keep living on what you make and the raises will really start to pile up in savings and paying down debt. I have been waiting for a raise of about 15% to come through (stupid hr process, have to rewrite job description for the third time! man I hope this becomes retroactive but academic setting I don’t think that will work! Sorry to rant.)
Congrats on the pat on your back that your are successful at work and they want you around.
