It’s been ages since I made a post I know, but for those of you who are keen to improve your budgeting skills then you’ll be glad to know my absense was due to me revamping my site, adding some video tutes for my subscribers and also getting busy with some family stuff….on the subject of which, Christmas is almost upon us and I’m feeling a tad old, I used to be able to shop till I dropped, or should I say it took a lot longer to drop when I shopped! Now I need to come home for a Nanna nap after only a hour and a half!

Anyway, I’m pleased to say I have managed to get through my gift shopping without pulling out my credit card once, maybe that is because I no longer own a credit card, but it is also because I am becoming quite expert at planning and budgeting ahead of time for everything……PLUS, my family no longer buy gifts for each other (in the grown up arena anyway), so most of my spending is on food and festivities. I shall write a blog post on that very subject soon.

For now I am off to add the sign up box for my BudgetMama Boot Camp course into the sidebar of the blog, and while there I shall add a new category to my posts which will be all about me. A lot of people have said they would like to get to know me on a more personal level. I know I know, it is absolutely and entirely worthy of a whole new blog, but for now I shall just make it a category of this one
