The Morning Blog (6th Nov)

Well.... you just can't please some people!  Our producer tortured us with two words of the day yesterday.  So, today we tried to appease him with some lovely chocolate.  But, alas, it has had no impact and the torture continues today with another two words.  We started with "astringent" meaning speaking or writing in a manner that is critical and hurtful.  And then "discomfiture" was added, meaning frustrating feelings of embarrassment or awkwardness.  

Taking the Insanity Out of Christmas:  Family pressures, financial pressures, time pressures - they can all take the joy out of our Christmas Season.  Here's some good news - it's not too late to save your Christmas this year!!!   We spoke with Chris Owen, Relationship Coach and co-author of "Save Our Sanity:  The Christmas Calm Manual".  With some great tips on how to save some money, and maybe even ease some relationship pressure, find out more at www.saveourxmassanity.com . 

Getting through some more Spring cleaning:  Tiana Johannis from savingmum.com.au joined us to speak about getting our linen cupboards in order.   Now, it may not sound like much, but there's heaps you can do to save time in the middle of the night if your child has a little accident in bed, you can save space in your cupboard by rolling instead of folding... oh... and so much more!  You can hear Tiana's advice on today's podcast .
