Thank you so much for joining me in my pursuit of #ThriftyFamilyFun. Today is #SocialMediaDay so it seems apt to tell you that I set up my account as part of a course with @DigitalMumsHQ a provider that trains mums in social media management. I’ll be back soon to tell you more 😊
. @edfenergy. I had a smart meter installed at beg of Oct but was told that the installers would need to return as they couldn’t finish the last part of the job. As such, they have left me without a home display & I don’t know how much energy we are using. It’s been 3 months!

There is still time to get down to the @WalnutsShopping centre to see Father Christmas in his grotto. It's open from 10am-2pm and is completely free.

How cool is the "Message from Santa" free app that @skintdad recommended? If you need to bribe your kids to be good then this is definitely one to try out! It worked a treat for me... #naughtyornice #nicelist 🎅
What's your favourite low-cost Christmas tradition?
When I was young, my family would all gather round on Christmas Eve to listen to the poem “Twas the night before Christmas.” I now do this with my own kids.

Will your kids be making #christmasdecorations?
We have decorated pinecones that we collected during autumnal walks. They have been covered in glue & sprinkled with a generous amount of glitter (most of which ended up on the floor). We plan to hang them on the tree. #kidscrafts
What's your favourite festive film?
Mine has got to be Home Alone! "I made my family disappear...." 🎄🎅⛄️🎁🎄🎅⛄️🎁
