Christmas Tip
When I buy something for Christmas I wrap it up straight away and write down what it is (and cost) on my list. I have a column on my note paper for each recipient. That way I can see over time how much I have spent and what I have already put aside for them and do not need to panic at Christmas time. It is also useful for hubby to look at to make sure we are not doubling up on getting things for the kids.
I also like to make good use of sales. I use google alerts to tell me when something I am after goes on sale so I can make sure I get it at the discounted rate. To ensure we have enough money available should a sale come up, we put money each week into an account for the kids birthdays and Christmas.
But the best bit for me is that I don't have a huge pile of stuff to wrap up last minute. I much prefer wrapping one or two things every now and then over wrapping heaps of stuff in one go.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
