Welcome to the August Save Time Online Newsletter!

It is August and the Olympics have started - love them or hate them, they are going to be part of our lives over the next few weeks. There were some spectacular effects during the opening ceremony on Friday night - and having the athletes complete the painting started by dancers and children was simple but brilliant.

Online, you can find out about the games on the official games site, see the medal tally, follow the Aussies on the Australian team site and read what others are saying about the games in their blogs.

With August, we also had world breastfeeding week and scouting Australia's 100th birthday, and are heading towards the 40 hour famine, Children's Book Week and Fathers Day. Find out about these events online and then you'll have more time to participate in the events that are important to you.

Have a great month,

Tash & Ally

Save Money on Gifts

No matter how much we love the person we are buying a gift for, there are limits to what we can spend on them. We are surrounded by advertising and perfect TV lives, and this pressures us to give “good” presents to show we care.

The reality is, people will love and be happiest with a gift from the heart rather than a gift with a huge price tag. There are ways to cut gift giving costs without cutting back on the thought and value of the gift given.

Below are some simple recipes for young children to follow (with help as appropriate,) so that they can show Dad they care!

Buying for a New Homeowner

Looking for a gift for someone in the process of buying a new home? Of course, you could go for the traditional house-warming gifts of plants or photo frames. However, you might want to give something different, or know that the person needs a gift earlier than their house-warming.

For some practical and creative gift ideas, read our homeowners' gift article.


Book review

Women's Business by Maureen Noonan

A book on the legalities of business is perhaps not the most exciting night time reading, but Noonan has managed to write one that is easy to read and understand.

With the use of a case study, the book provides a comprehensive legal picture of business in Australia. it forms a great reference for anyone starting, changing or running a business.
