Christmas Challenge 2014 

Ideas

Here are my ideas so far:


  • Competitions 
  • Surveys 
  • Selling old stuff 
  • Homemade gifts 
  • Homemade decorations / wrapping paper / cards 
  • Writing into magazines 
  • Cashback 
  • Change saver - not exactly free but as the advert states every little helps. I log onto my online banking every couple of days and each time I do I intend to send the odd bit of change to my savings account ie. if I have £205.67p available I will send the 67p to the savings account. 

None of them will make millions but together I am hoping they will buy a few pressies :)

Photoshoot 26th April 2014



This is my favorite picture from the photoshoot I won. I plan on having canvases, photobooks, framed photos etc done as gifts for christmas for our relatives.

My family and my inspiration.

About Me

Hello all! My name is Laura and I am a mum of 3 lovely girls Molly 5, Lily 3, Ella 7 weeks. Like many other mums I love Christmas but I hate how much financial pressure it puts on our family so this year I have decided to set myself a challenge - have christmas for free (or as cheap as possible).

Throughout the blog I am going to keep you updated on all the ups and downs of the challenge.

Please feel free to contact me with any suggestions or questions :)
