This Christmas promises to be difficult for many families who have struggled with facingredundancy, pay cuts and higher fuel and food prices throughout the past year. ButChristmas needn't be a grim time, by making changes to the way you spend and celebrateyou can have as jolly a yuletide as ever without having to wait for the red bills to roll in fornew year.The key to saving money is to have a financial plan in place. This isn't as terrifying a taskas it sounds. Aplan can be as simple as knowing exactly how much you want to spend oneach person's Christmas gifts and sticking to it. Spend on the things that really matter anduse this time to appreciate the people who matter in your life. Sometimes a token gift canbe just as special as a large electrical item or jewellery, but if you're concerned aboutlooking like the local Scrooge you might choose to set a price limit not just for yourselfbut suggest it to family too.For those who are going to spend this Christmas (it's inevitable really) make the most ofthe internet to compare prices on absolutely everything you need to make yourcelebrations special. Not only can you make hundreds of pounds worth of savings ongifts such as MP3 players or bikes by shopping around but using supermarketcomparison sites can help you to find the best value turkey and Christmas puddingaround. And speaking of food, ingredients for items such as puddings of Christmas cakescan add up to be more expensive than buying ready made. So club together with friendsto buy pool ingredients which you can then use together to make Christmas money gofurther.Redeeming loyalty points that you've saved throughout the year can also ease the burdenof Christmas spending. Whether you choose to use them for money off your big foodshop or to buy special gifts – many offer toys and electrics as well as experience days andrestaurant vouchers all of which are ideal for Christmas gift giving – you'll be surprised athow much you've saved during the year thanks to your little flexible friend, according to

research Britons have around £4bn ofpoints unclaimed at the moment.Another way to save on essential purchasesis to search for online discount codes orprint off vouchers. Last year's incredible40% leaked Threshers voucher savedseveral families on their Christmas drinksand you'll regularly find 30% discountvouchers for Gap doing the rounds. Inaddition a little smart searching can earthall kinds of codes which, when enteredbefore your credit card details on certainsites can save you anything from a fewpence to a few pounds on your purchase orbag a free gift. Pop 'discount codes' in toany search engine and prepare to beamazed.Ultimately Christmas is a time at which weall like to flash our cash. But a littleforward planning and ingenuity can make ita more prosperous time than one mightexpect. Why not start saving now for nextChristmas to make it one to trulyremember?

10 Website MistakesMany company websites are ineffective atgenerating business because they havemistakes on the website, don't create theright professional impression or don'tmeet the requirements of the visitor andmake it easy for them to convert to being acustomer. All these mistakes areavoidable but unfortunately amongstmany small businesses they are all verycommon.

A shocking number ofbusinesses design their websites withabsolutely no plan for generating traffic.

if you try to appealto a large segment of the market, you'llappeal to nobody in particular.

The trickto getting your visitors to read your onlinecopy is to use dynamic, attention-gettingheadlines and sub-headlines. Throughoutyour copy you should continue to use

as a way to break up your copy.Most web surfers are skim readers so thechances of having your full-fat copy readwithout the use of sub-headlines isremote.

Online or off,a prospect wants to know "What's in it forme?" Answer that question as quickly andas often as possible on most of your keypages. Also many small business sitesfeature text that is useless boring, andit drives visitors away in droves. Getprofessional help to write engaging text.

If a visitor landson your site and has trouble navigating,

he/she is just a mouse click away from amore inviting online destination. Goodnavigation on your website is a must ifyou want visitors to stick around longenough to be converted into customers.

Many webdevelopers just can't resist the temptationto create "cool" animation and graphicswhich in tests have been shown to have anegative effect on the user experience.Try to avoid using Flash splash pages.Very few people will wait to watch theFlash intro splash presentation and a fewwon't even wait for it to load.

It's not easy to make a sale to averageconsumers. They've been taught to behighly sceptical of anyone sellinganything. On the Internet, that scepticismturns into downright cynicism. To helpyou "win them over," you should:

Provide contact information on everypage

Include an "About Us" page.Include a photo of yourself (especially if

you're a service provider)Include testimonials from customersInclude endorsements from industry

expertsProvide a solid, "we take all the risk, you

get all the reward" guarantee and offer aprivacy policy.

Using links, banners, and pop-ups foraffiliate programs and other profitstreams can distract a visitor and keepthem from your main goal - buying aproduct from you.

Your visitor willgive your site no more than 10 seconds(sometimes less) to appear. If it doesn't,they're gone and so is your opportunity toturn them into a satisfied customer.

You can't manage whatyou don't measure. Testing and measuringgive you the information you need tomake refinements that will improve yourwebsite's effectiveness.Some of the things you should measureare:

Conversion rate - how many visitorsbecome paying customers?

Visitor value - how much does a visitorspend?

Opt-in signup rate - how many peopleare giving you contact info?

Traffic stats - what is the number ofvisitors?

Source of visitors - what traffic

generators are bringing you prospects?Average visit time - how long does a

visitor stay onsite?Most-viewed site pages - which pages

are drawing eyes?is a website design and

Dr. Greenfingers Garden & Country fileWeek ending 4th December 2009

The very dry months of September and October have nowbeen followed by an extremely wet November. High windsand ferocious rain in Cumbria has lead to devastation inCockermouth and the surrounding areas. The rivers Cockerand Derwent flow from the Lake District and meet inCockermouth, and after so much rainfall the huge amount ofwater overwhelmed the river banks, spillng eight feet deepinto the town, flooding homes, shops and offices. This prettyGeorgian town now has many months of clearing—up andrepair work ahead of it. Wordsworth House, the birthplace ofWilliam Wordsworth, was amongst many buidings badlydamaged, but the National Trust hopes that the gardens willbe restored to their former Georgian design and may even bebetter than ever.Whilst these dreadful floods were happening we were at theother side of the world in Ecuador. Because of its variedgeography crops of all types can be grown, with four harvestspossible in each year. Many varieties of potatoes and corn canbe grown in the Andes, and bananas and a multitude of fruitscan be grown in the tropical coastal regions. Every Indianmarket we visited had vast, colourful displays of fruit,vegetables, grain and livestock in abundance. Now, on the lstDecember, we have awoken to the first hard frost of theseason.When the weather is milder gently fork around plants in theborder to stop the soil becoming too compacted and sour andput down some mulch to preserve the moisture around thebase of shrubs and hedges. lf you wish, on a fine day, you canstill move crowded perennials to a new spot in the gardenalthough it isn’t a good time to split plants. Wait for the milderweather of spring. Protect less hardy plants with a few inchesof light soil or compost. Autumn—planted bedding plantssuch as polyanthus, forget-me~nots and wallflowers shouldbe checked to make sure they are still firmly bedded into theground.‘ This weekend and the days following are the time to bethinking about getting a Christmas tree if you want a fresh oneand haven’t already bought one. Whichever kind you buy,whether pot~grown, dug up and planted into a pot, or with theroots removed, try and keep it out of doors for as long aspossible before bringing it into the warmth. lf you buy onewith roots, give it a good drink of water when you get it homeand make sure the soil is kept moist. lf the tree has no roots,cut off the bottom two inches of the trunk and put it into abucket of water for a few hours before taking it indoors todecorate. lf you treat it like any other cut flower and give itsome water each day, it shouldn’t drop all of its needles beforethe big day. lf you buy a container—grown tree, plant it intothe ground after Christmas, and if you keep it watered and fedthroughout the summer you will hopefully have a tree toenjoy in the years to come.

No artificial arrangements can compete with the fresh look and smell of the real thing. lf collecting pieces of evergreenfrom the garden, dunk it into water for a few hours to remove any dust and to give it the chance to take up plenty ofwater. This will help the arrangement to last much longer, especially if it will have no water supply. When cutting the

greenery think of it as a pruning session and keep the bush or tree’s shape in mind.Arrange into well soaked Oassis, using cocktail sticks taped round the bottoms ofcandles to make them more secure before pressing them into the foam. Frontdoor arrangements can be made with wet Oassis wrapped in polythene or wirenetting to make it firm if you haven’t got a ring of foam or greenery. The localflorist is the place to go for the wire, tapeand Oassis you will need. Begin byusing lots of greenery stuck into theOassis and then add the flowers or wiredfruits, nuts and bows to add some colour.For Christmas presents, look out forgifts in the garden centre and nursery.They now sell products from all aroundthe world if you want to find somethingdifferent. On the traditional side, a freshplant or a Garden Token makes a present

which will give lasting gardening pleasure for years to come.A seed catalogueand a packet of seeds would make a nice present for a child to give to a parent orgrandparent and it won’t break the bank. Every store and supermarket has alarge selection of baskets, glassware and china bowls planted with all kinds ofexotic and spring blooms. The days of the solitary leggy poinsettia are nowthankfully over.
