Want to know how to throw a tasty Christmas dinner for just $50? Of course you do, there's a pav involved. Today's guest is the frugal mum of our dreams, and she has some brilliant advice for surviving the festive season with your savings intact. 

Do Aussie kids need a kick up the bum to leave home? While one UK mum put her foot down and refused to let her stepdaughter move in, we're still washing 25-year-old's socks.

And Holly and Andrew debate a parenting dilemma - when it comes to the school talent show, is it ever okay to leave after your kid performs, or do you have to sit through the whole thing?
