I like to think I am super organised and I write a millions lists.  In reality the lists never get looked at again and I end up flapping around or forgetting things.  The only exception is Christmas.  I have to be SUPER organised for Christmas there is just so much going on.  We have the Hubby and my Mum have birthdays, our Wedding Anniversary, my birthday and Spike’s birthday all within 4 weeks of each other.  Couple all of these with Christmas and it makes for a VERY hectic, expensive time.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Here are our Christmas competitions, they are only open until Sunday night so get your entries in quickly!  The winners will be emailed early Monday morning and will need to reply within 48 hours.

Any winners that have not sent their details by Wednesday 19th December 2012 will unfortunately lose out and the competition will be redrawn.  To view the competitions just click the advent windows below.

Good Luck!

December 1st is mine and the Hubby’s wedding anniversary but since having kids, and not having the freedom to pop out for a meal or a date to the cinema without it costing us an extra £20 for a babysitter, we have stuck to the tradition of having a nice meal and putting up the Christmas tree together.  Unfortunately for me, and luckily for Hubby as he is a bit of a scrooge, today he had to work a 12 hour shift so I opted to put the decorations up with Spud who has become increasingly excited about all things Christmas over the past few weeks.

Christmas is coming, and that means it’s time to get your wallet out and spend your hard-earned money on gifts for all the family. While many people will save for Christmas, some don’t have that option and find that they’re left with very little money to spend on presents that their kids, siblings or parents would actually like. Fortunately, it’s possible to save money even at this time of the year by keeping an eye out for special offers, discounts and simply by shopping around.
