Nicola Slawson and Tola Fisher on money at Christmas, and New Year's resolutions

Christmas is a time of presents (brown paper and string this year), giving relatives the same vouchers as last year and spending money (until you don't have any left). Boxing Day sucks some of us in, and New Year's resolutions are made and broken, in my case, very quickly.  To discuss this exciting and expensive time of year, I'm joined by freelance journalist Nicola Slawson and women's magazine editor Tola Fisher. While sipping mulled wine and eating these strange custard biscuit things, we talk about the biggest money lessons we've learnt in 2019, learning to sew, going on a ski season age 30, why perhaps it's better to 'trust' it will all work out, being single while making life plans, and buying copper kettle swans online and seriously regretting it. Shout out to Shrewsbury's tourist board.
