My favourite kind of money saving is the kind that doesn't take much effort or involve big changes - just a bit of common sense and sometimes a reminder of things that I know I really should be doing anyway but for one reason or another I'm not.Just in case you're the same as me, I thought I'd share my top twenty Christmas money saving ideas....If you're not going to be visiting someone until after Christmas, buy their presents in the Boxing Day sale - you can save a fortune.

This year’s letters to Santa made me cry….
Just to clarify, I'm not seriously ill or anything. I just have a viral infection that antibiotics are sorting out but it comes with a nasty cough that's been making me sick and I think it's worried them. … [Read more...]
My Perfect Christmas….
In my head, my perfect Christmas Day starts off with the kids running into our bedroom looking photo ready in their new Christmas pyjamas with their teeth brushed and their hair tidy and brushed. That's what happens in the movies isn't it?What actually happens in our house is that I lay in bed waiting for everyone to wake up until I can't stand it any longer and start making as much noise as possible in an attempt to wake everyone up. Last Christmas I had to fake two coughing fits, flush the toilet twice and drop a book on the floor just to get everyone moving.When everyone's finally … [Read more...]

Now we’re talking Christmas, can I talk New Years resolutions too?
I know I've said this before but I do love New Year because it feels like a fresh start and I really enjoy writing a good New Years Resolutions list. I shared last year's list on here with you and looking back at it now, I actually think I've done quite well although there are a few things that I didn't achieve that I'll be carrying over to next years list no doubt.One of the resolutions that I didn't achieve and never manage to (despite it being on the list every year) is to lose weight and become more active although we do eat healthier and get out and do more than we've ever done … [Read more...]
