Are you dreading christmas this year?

Wondering how you are going to pay for it all? Wondering how to tell your children that they cannot have all the things they are hoping for?

David Cameron changed his leadership speech at the last minute instead of telling us to pay off our debts he said we are already doing it.

But if you are paying off your debts can you afford to spend money this Christmas?

How do you get on with your mother-in-law?

A study out today has found that many women think their mothers-in-law are "bitchy", domineering and even a cause of marital breakdown.

Almost a third said they were made to feel they were not good enough for their partner.

Do you have the mother-in-law from hell or do have a fantastic relationship with her?

So what next for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ?

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ has announced that 2000 jobs will be cut by 2017, as it proposes how to make budget cuts of 20 per cent as a result of the freeze to the licence fee.

What does this mean to you?

Radio 4's pretty unaffected, a 15 per cent reduction in the sport budget. A small reduction of 3 per cent in Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One's budget, the elimination of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ2's daytime budget and local radio will share output in the afternoons and evenings.

A leaner, trimmer Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ with the emphasis on quality not quantity, less original programming and more repeats.
