About £300 so far on presents, plus still got the Mrs and one of my lads to get....

Plus £140 for 2 return trips to Caernarfon Boxing Day and New Years Eve to pick up and take back my other lad.....

Surprisingly cheap considering the size of our family !!!!

Actually,the purpose was for a bit of sharing. I am absolutely broke at the moment trying to rob Peter to pay Paul. Its sometimes nice to know that you're not alone and in the same boat. I dread Christmas every year for this very reason.

Cost of Christmas so far: zero.

I have neither income nor savings so I am financially completely dependent on my wife.  I think it's costing her a bomb. :) :) :)

This year has cost us zilch:  Food care of Tesco cardholder points saved up  over the year and pressies care of various internet survey sites and shopping panels  ;D

Sod all, Bah Humbug......



Since the kids (my sisters) have grown up we dont have much to do with christmas as it is really for the kids.

So nothing at all on pressies, bought a bit extra food in as the shops will be getting in short supply of the basics.

Plus am not allowed to drink due to medication (Not that I drink much any way.)  So all I hope for now is some good TV.

About £1500. Gotta do the shopping yet, so £1520. ;D


Just got back from shopping, make that £1650 :(

So have you remembered all your OOF buddies in that splash out :P


Yes. I bought enough booze to have one for each of you. :y

But wait, I hear you say, you cant possibly drink 6000+ shots over the holiday period.

You are quite correct, I dont drink. But, then again, I have no 'buddies' either. :P
Yes you do Steve  :-*
