Think my wife needs to go on benefits and I need to disapear.

Typical Daily Mail I'm afraid, but it isn't right.

Just spent £150 on the food & drink for Christmas. Don't know how much my wife has spent on the kids, but I know there's no laptops or big expensive presents in their stockings, so probrably a couple of hundred quid, no more than that.

About £150 all in because I don't have a GF this year.
I saw that story in the paper yesterday & it makes me a little angry.
I got £150 bonus this christmas (first time ever) and £47 of it went to the government. I wonder how much of it will get wasted!

I'll spend it very carefully

Trust the daily mail to release that story
If its true, thanks G, thats p155ed me off

Me and the wife have decided to cut down a lot on pressies for each other this year, we normally spend around £500 each.
With food, drinks, pressies etc this year i bet we've spent £1200-£1400, which is a lot less than last year.

BTW, we dont have kids.

I have spent roughly £250 on my (Dad, Mum, Sister and Nephew)... quite chuffed with my dads present as it's thoughtful and he might actually use them, doesnt look much but were expensive.

Then I paid for Kerry's half of the holiday we just got back from which was £500ish + spending money, airport parking and my own half of the holiday Hopefully she is not expecting anything else... as she hasn't got anything else coming!

Then I bought myself a bike, and then lots of extras for it which I classed as an early christmas present to myself... that would come to well over £9.5k... go to think of number one ha


Edit: Not spent anything on food and drink, we are going to my parents for Christmas dinner (my dad does an awesome stuffing)... then later in the evening we are going round to our friends (we should probably buy something to take there though)

not a lot to be honest and I have a big family...

its ok though all her kids are ginger... they deserve it

I have 3 kids and a wife, we normall spend about 150 - 200 each on them. However my wife was made redundant this year and gets her redundancy in December. So we thought One last year we will really push the boat out and we have spent about 500 on each.

The Children are 11, 3 and 1.5 so we promised to make it an christmas to remember.

I have also bought my wife a £500 eternity ring, after promising we would spend about £100 each.

HOWEVER, I work bloody hard so I am entitled to spend it. Most weeks are 60 hours plus for me including nights and weekends.
