December
Get into the spirit of Christmas. If you’re buying presents for friends, think about doing a secret Santa, rather than all buying presents for each other. Try creating home made gifts, jams and chutneys, from your fruits and vegetables – and remember now is the time to harvest Brussels sprouts, picking off the largest from the bottom of the stalk for Christmas dinner.
Think about 2010. Think about some savings resolutions. Did 2009 produce any unpleasant surprises – spoiled crops, running out of money or going into debt? If so, then make sure you’ve got 2010 covered.
