Hubby and I will spend the day together at home eating some beautiful food which in no way resembles Christmas dinner! We make a donation to a charity which will benefit people in our area ( food bank and roughsleepers project) and I will make a few cards. I am currently sewing gifts for friends' grandchildren and that's our Christmas sorted.

I must check out our local branch to see if they have one. That would be really useful as I have a jar full of copper as well as my sealed pot. I could get some gifts from there. Thank you for that :) x<br />Pensive Pensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753467730053378848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170481308375173858.post-31981707926281106662017-09-17T15:08:18.218+01:002017-09-17T15:08:18.218+01:00We are cutting right down this year on everything,...We are cutting right down this year on everything, but we will still enjoy it just the same.xSimple Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884864661226371141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170481308375173858.post-49071299931547180312017-09-17T13:02:16.587+01:002017-09-17T13:02:16.587+01:00We cut down what we buy others years ago, and now ...We cut down what we buy others years ago, and now we have cut down what we buy each other, the boys have a set amount each, they can choose cash or gifts, their choice, so my Christmas is generally really easy, just the way I like it !

I have a few stocking fillers tucked away already as they were bought on our Summer holiday. It's great idea to use your points cards.

Co-op now give money back. Our spare cash jar we did not change up for notes, I see Tesco has a change machine, if you use the amount deposited to shop in store they do not take any commission, so we have about £100 for Christmas food ect. Like you we are planning to keep cash out of our bank account as low as we can. Poppypatchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749159567150084975noreply@blogger.com
