Penny Playdates

Thank you so much for joining me in my pursuit of #ThriftyFamilyFun. Today is #SocialMediaDay so it seems apt to tell you that I set up my account as part of a course with @DigitalMumsHQ a provider that trains mums in social media management. I’ll be back soon to tell you more 😊

@edfenergy Automated message says 10 working days to reply. Still what’s 10 days when it’s been 3 months already 😂

@PennyPlaydates Hi, I am sorry to hear this. If you could send us your details via DM,we can look into this further for you. Thanks Donna

. @edfenergy. I had a smart meter installed at beg of Oct but was told that the installers would need to return as they couldn’t finish the last part of the job. As such, they have left me without a home display & I don’t know how much energy we are using. It’s been 3 months!

I’ve made several phone calls but customer services haven’t helped. Assuming my energy usage is now free!

@MartinSLewis The link takes me to your newsletter and not the pension information. Can you reshare the link please?

Are you aged around 45 to 70? You may be able to turn £800 into £5,500+ by boosting your state pension. Yet the clock is ticking... read about it here... #pension" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">moneysavingexpert.com/latesttip/#pen… This is important, everyone in that age bracket should check if it is relevant, so please share.

@NHSBromley_CCG @BromleyGPs @LBofBromley @HWBromley @loveanerley Do you think this might be linked to lots of GP surgeries still refusing to see patients face to face?

It's Christmas Eve Eve! Who's more excited - the grown-ups or the kids? 🎄☃️ #ChristmasIsComing

There is still time to get down to the @WalnutsShopping centre to see Father Christmas in his grotto. It's open from 10am-2pm and is completely free. #FatherChristmas #SantaClaus #thriftyfamilyfun 🎅

How cool is the "Message from Santa" free app that @skintdad recommended? If you need to bribe your kids to be good then this is definitely one to try out! It worked a treat for me... #naughtyornice #nicelist 🎅

What's your favourite low-cost Christmas tradition? When I was young, my family would all gather round on Christmas Eve to listen to the poem “Twas the night before Christmas.” I now do this with my own kids. Check out more budget ideas from @familieslkb. buff.ly/2q2aPc1

Will your kids be making #christmasdecorations? We have decorated pinecones that we collected during autumnal walks. They have been covered in glue & sprinkled with a generous amount of glitter (most of which ended up on the floor). We plan to hang them on the tree. #kidscrafts

What's your favourite festive film? Mine has got to be Home Alone! "I made my family disappear...." 🎄🎅⛄️🎁🎄🎅⛄️🎁
