Here’s how to create a £500 pot of cash for a Slap-up Christmas Meal* for a family of 12. From thin air. Nobody buy the £2.50 Christmas cards. And don’t post them for £1.50 each.
Now, cards from my 0, 1, 2 ,3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 year old Izobel are amongst the most precious things I own. But others? Not really.
Have a think. Have a word. And away you go. Merry Christmas.
*I don’t know what a Slap-up Meal is. But it must mean ‘a good meal.’ Because it was a very desirable reward in The Beano when I was little. I always loved the sound of it.
