    Have managed to save £100 a month since December, so my gift fund is healthy, and I have been stashing away baking ingredients throughout the year. Rthat’s all I have managed, but we will start collecting stocking fillers and small bits from now on. Oh, We have a Turkey in the freezer too!

      That's amazing! A very generous gift fund, Turkey in the freezer is very organised I always get a chicken and in October I will find one in the yellow sticker/clearance and put it straight in the freezer xx

    Hey Rachel, I make cards, so I've made all me Christmas cards..tick, I've already bought most of my presents, not much more to buy......tick, I've been saving 20p, 50p and the odd £2 coins, since last Christmas that's what has made it possible, just food and we're all set with no stress, great vlog xx

      That's amazing! I love organised people and yes saving those odd coins really mounts up to help you out. My son made cards for family once and it didn't go down too well with the family, now we buy cheap ones. Love the organisation you have xx

      I know 6 months seems such a long way off but it only felt like yesterday it turned 2024. O my god yes stamps are more expensive than the actual cards. x

    I love the lead up to christmas but its not the same how the 3 girls are grown up so now i am going to have to wait on they give me grandchildren in the future i think i will enjoy that even more lol. I only do close friends and immediate family for cards and i have really scaled back on the gift list . I still do lists they are just shorter lol px

      I am enjoying every second whilst my son is still young as I know it will change. My parents love having grandkids to spoil now it's definitely giving my Dad a new lease for life. Yes I have definitely cut back less on others and a little more on my son x

    Hi Rachel, I love Christmas too!
    I already have all my condiments, my posh wine,(more expensive stuff...)and all my wrapping paper and gift bags.Also a few gifts.
    I'm a single mum to two grown up lads so it spreads the cost.
    Take care xxx

      @Solomumtoone  2 месяца назад

      I don't drink so that helps me save money, I think I have all the gift bags still as I keep the ones people gave me last year and then recycle them. I don't have gifts yet but I have a few ideas. I agree starting early really does spread the cost and saves such a huge cost in December xx
