Top 10 Tips that won’t break the bank!

Christmas and New Year are now but distant memories and spring is definitely in the air but not quite here just yet.

This “in between” time of year can be rather flat and many of us begin to feel restless. We want to make changes in our lives but are not quite sure where to start. Everything seems to be on hold.

One positive thing we can do at this time of year is to take a good look at our homes and decide on the improvements that we want to make this year. We can start to plan what to do when. Even just having these plans can make us feel better; make us feel that we are doing something, even though we haven’t actually started.

A box filled with love!

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching.

If you plan to do something special for your loved one this February 14th then why not make something with a difference?

So Christmas is over for another year.  How was it for you?

In the words of John Lennon, we hope it was a good one!

However, just before it’s all forgotten, it’s a really good idea to stop and think about how well everything worked this year and whether you would do anything differently next time.   For example, some of us would immediately say that next year they are definitely not going to leave so much till the last minute: others may say that yet again they bought far too much food despite worrying that there would not be enough.  How wonderful it would be if we could learn from this and make things easier for ourselves next Christmas!

It fits!

 

Christmas is a time of fitting.

Whether it’s the age-old question of how does Santa get down the chimney, the eternal surprise of Cinderella’s shoe fitting in the Christmas pantomime, or the annual battle to get the turkey in the oven and the door shut …. Christmas is full of issues to do with fitting!
