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.
