. @edfenergy. I had a smart meter installed at beg of Oct but was told that the installers would need to return as they couldnโt finish the last part of the job. As such, they have left me without a home display & I donโt know how much energy we are using. Itโs been 3 months!

Iโve made several phone calls but customer services havenโt helped. Assuming my energy usage is now free!

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 ๐

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 โTwas the night before Christmas.โ I now do this with my own kids.
Check out more budget ideas from @familieslkb.

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

Christmas doesn't have to be all about presents, why not use this time to teach your little ones - no matter their age, the importance of kindness?

Did you know that it's World Kindness Day?
You don't have to spend money to do something nice and it's a great way to teach children the importance of being kind to others.
