How to curb Christmas spending
Knowing how to curb Christmas spending is a real help as this money spending season goes into full swing
Here are 5 things I have done this week to stop myself overspending
1) I keep rewriting my Christmas list to keep clear track of what I have bought. It is very easy to just keep buying more for my kids and this list enables me to see quickly THEY DONT NEED ANYTHING ELSE
2) I have written up my financial resolutions for 2020 as I thought it important to keep my eyes on money-saving rather than money spending

4) We have saved money this week on buying my ever-growing kids Christmas jumpers by customising a jumper. You can totally do this too. Follow our tips to make your own Christmas jumper
