A tough time this year

[leeanne]

A few jobs have taken longer than expected, people want to get paid and customer payments are coming in slowly.

So in order to cut some costs, I have raided my jewelry. A few years ago I went hog wild on jewelry on Ebay (I was an Ebay addict) and bought things that I haven't worn until this day. I have a pearl and earring set, watch sets, necklaces and bracelets. So I will be giving those away to my MIL, my mom, my daughter and stepdaughter. I also had a digital photo frame that was never used that I will be giving to my stepdaughter.

Awful, isn't it?

I am so totally stressed out this year.

is so difficult at christmas when money is tight as it is. I have tried some personal gifts (im an artist) so i have drawn my OH's motorbike that he adores, and done a drawing of the dogs for my parents aswell as a small gift as i cant afford to overspend, im sure they will love them thou

Im sure they will love their presents

I think aslongs as your all together and spend quality time together as a family for christmas, make it fun and one to remember thats much better than spending lots of money on eachother. After all isnt that what christmas is all about?

Christmas does cost an absolute fortune and I do try my hardest not to think about it. I start early in August so I get most out of the way before they hike up the prices. My family think I am mental but in reality its the best thing to do.
