As the Royal Mail prepare for industrial action - cost cutting begins.

The Royal Mail are in a tight spot.

Their staff aka postmen have announced that they plan on not doing their job as they approach the busiest time of year - the run up to Christmas - perhaps one of the most profitable periods for the postal service.

As onlne businesses are already announcing their intention to swap from Royal mail to other courier services you have to take your hat off to the managers how have already contacted competitors with offers to sell vans

Vans for sale

Reports of the post offices advertising their vans for sale isn't unusual - every year the Royal Mail sell a proportion of their vehicles and these are replaced by brand new vans. What is noteworthy is the targeting of local couriers who expect to pick up the lost Post Office business and will require additional drivers and vans. Usually if there is a spike in business the option to hire a van is the norm.

Van hire or used vans

Van hire companies will feel the pinch as they too expect a surge in demand at Christmas. With the prospect of many used vans flooding the market van rental busiensses are looking for new customers by running adverts to remind people that they can save a lot of money by travelling to Europe and filling a van with Christmas goodies.

Sam Cam wearing a £65 dress from M&S

High Street Dresses

The media has been practically falling over itself to cheer Samantha Cameron for supporting high steet fashion chain Marks and Spencer by choosing to wear one of their dresses at a high profile conference last week.

Samantha, who ordinarily dresses in expensive designer outfits sported a bobby dazzler of a polka dot dress.

Attetntion turned from her husband, David, when it was revealed that THAT DRESS was on sale for £65

Marks and Spencers Affordable shopping

Because everything M&S stock is their own lable and as such that is the reason they don't appear to be compared to other products on price comparison sites - as there is nothing else that matches the own brand items

Whilst looking around the shop I couldn't fail to notice the christmas goodies coming out including christmas hampers, gifts and decorations.

Christmas hampers

Amongst the piles of Christms gift ideas that bombard us at theis time of year - I have to say i was taken by this selection of hampers. Again because of the uniqueness of the products the opportunity to compare prices is limited but what is good about the page is it reveals just how many type os hampers and gift baskets are on sale - including festive Christmas hampers with imaganitive combinations of food and drink
