With money tight this year does anyone know which veg lasts the longest and have any cunning tips for storage? Recipes to make the most of it over the Christmas period? I don't have a huge freezer so would especially like recipes for pickling etc, Some sort of Christmas veg kimchi would be lovely, but I wouldn't know where to start!

Most veg lasts OK in the fridge or somewhere cold in the house (I store my spuds, carrots, parsnips etc in my conservatory). It's probably a bit too late for pickling... you may be OK with sauerkraut and kimchi as it only needs 10 days or so.
Japanese pickling is very quick. Look up recipes for Shiozuke and Misozuke. Shoyuzuke is also fairly quick but I am not a fan.
Kimchi is more for watery veg like cucumbers, cabbage and radish. Not sure how it would work with roots.
