Get paid £10 for your tips on how mums can save on Christmas

A journalist is putting together a feature for the Daily Mirror and is willing to pay £10 for every tip she uses.
Here's what she sent …
The feature is all about tips to make Christmas easier - from mums. The tips could be to do with moneysaving, cooking, gift buying or keeping kids entertained.
I can pay every person featured £10. This is all very last minute and anyone wanting to take part needs to contact me this afternoon or tonight.
I'll need the tip explained in a few lines plus the person's full name, age, and area. I'd also like a headshot of them.
Please your tips and phone numbers to louise_baty@yahoo.co.uk and I'll get in touch if I'm going to use them.

I now have a copy of the paper, and it does have the photos! Luckily they are very tiny pictures.
If anyone wants a photo of their piece, let me know, and I'll dig the macro lens out. "A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for."
