Christmas chaos

Time is running out, parking is a nightmare and the shops are even worse. It can be hard thinking of something original to give parents and grandparents for Christmas, especially when they seem to have everything they could possibly want. The problem is made worse if, like me, you are a hard-up student who wishes that they had not spent quite so much on that dress for the end-of-term bash and had stuck to the cafeteria food rather than take aways. Anyway, have you thought of giving a gift of your time in the form of a booklet of vouchers? These vouchers are promises to do all sorts of things from dog walking , cooking a meal and clearing up afterwards, ironing a load of shirts or even keeping the eccentric auntie out of everyone’s hair on Boxing Day. Mind you knowing my limitations with the iron I’m rather hoping that no-one will take me up on that one.
