Hello , The weather has warmed up a bit (although I'm already missing the bright, sunny, freezing days!) and things are starting to slow down a bit on the streets and in the offices. Have you noticed? Loads of people seem to have started
to put their feet up already and it's still five days to go until Christmas! But why not? Heck, we all deserve a good break this year and I know that you will have a lovely one. For a start, you have my Zoom Christmas Party to look forward to on Christmas Day. It's happening
at 4pm until 5.30pm and is open to all. Come along! And there's lots of other good stuff to look forward to. Our Advent Calendar has better and better goodies behind the door each day, culminating in a really fab one on Christmas Day. Take a look at today's. |

Also, we have some great ways you can have fun at Christmas for free and the best supermarkets to get cheap food and festive extras. Also we have the best discount code sites for Christmas gifts together with info on how to get discounted gift vouchers as those are a really popular gift with pretty much everyone. And to get a bit serious, here's my take on what stagflation means, a good look at the crypto market to see if it's actually
time to buy (hey, it might be!) and how you can claim tax back on energy if you work from home. But most important, right now, is that you have a gentle, happy time this week and a lovely, peaceful Christmas weekend full of the real spirit of Christmas: light, hope, gentleness and fulness of life. Good is real and it's real for you and for me...infinitely 😄🙏☃️ All love, Jasmine |
