How much have you spent this Christmas...

£35 ..... :d

I reckon I've spent about £500 all in, thats mum, dad, small person, and a few close family friends.

There'a a lot I could say on that article, but I'm not about to, because I'm a single mother on benefits, and I'm exactly the sort of person you're laying into.

I can't say what I spent on Rob but he has 6 pressies and the most expensive is the smallest and was a chance.(fingers crossed)

It it not about how much it costs it'd the thought behind it.

My brother keeps reproducing so each year Xmas gets more expensive but I love buying for others.

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)

Oh dear, you really think that women think like that? You are in BIG trouble mate

I thought the same when I read that lol

Tip, if your gonna buy holidays as presents, arrange them after the date, so you can 'give' it as a present.
I pay for our holidays most of the time anyway, wife does contribute now she earns better money.
