Avoid Christmas Chaos! I hate to be the one to tell you... it’s only 18 weeks until Christmas! I say only because this part of the year generally flies by! I’m not only known as a “household budget expert”, but also as the Queen of Planning! Planning really is the key to absolutely everything. When it comes to Christmas, I’ve usually done most of my present shopping in the January and started compiling grocery goodies on a weekly basis! There are some planning products available to help make Christmas a little easier on your hip pocket. Companies like Chrisco and Castle Hampers take a regular weekly payment from you after you have selected the “hamper” that you would like for Christmas. I find this an expensive way to buy groceries. My suggestion is to start now and do it yourself. Get 1 or 2 items each week between now and Christmas and you can have your own hamper, with exactly what you want in it! Have a look at the specials each week and start stocking up. This week we’ll be buying a couple of bottles of flavoured mineral water from our local supermarket to add to our Christmas collection. Planning now for Christmas is less strain for you and your loved ones. We should do everything possible to reduce stress and pressure in our lives so our lives can be rich!

A great big thank you to the Ipswich City Council for having me out in April to speak with the community about money management. Your Mayor and council are to be congratulated for their wonderful intiatives in your community. I was delighted to be asked to present to you all, it was wonderful to meet so many of you!
Congratulations also to those who "stepped up" and attended the Back to Basics workshop as part of the Money Master Class series.
The GFC, rising interest rates and general cost of living, combined with the floods in January have put some you in difficult circumstances. I trust that you will use the information from the seminars to help you get back on track.
