The truth, though, is that managing your time at home is a different animal than in the typical office job. In a corporate environment, meetings, socializing, and getting drawn into projects and discussions that probably don't need to include you can suck up a lot of time.

At home, laundry, TV and Facebook pose more of a threat.

But the good news is, if you're efficient and disciplined, you can get more done in a lot fewer hours when you manage your own time.

We all know that every time Christmas comes around the temptation is to get the wallet out and splash out on lavish presents and food and drink for friends and family. But if money is tight this Christmas and you want to go into the New Year without a millstone of debt hanging around your neck here are five useful money saving tips for you to consider this Christmas.
