Feeding the 5,000?

£50 on a Goose last year. For five.


The most expensive single gift I have purchased this year was £1100. It was delivered yesterday on a lorry. I want to play with it. So does Johnny. Now. But it's for the children...


(but adults can play on it too woohoo)


I've still to wrap it so it may need to be tested first scratchchin

Other gifts may come in at several hundred. Each. And I've only bought for eight.

Wouldn't be the first time you promised to be a donkey and turned out to be a turkey, eh?

£50 each on the folks, £30 on the little brother.

Probably about another £50 on other assorted gifts for my team at work and a few mates.

I don't spend a huge amount really, the folks don't like it at all if we spend too much on them.

This.

Although it's one of the few big spends of the year that I feel I get my share of, one way or another (not that I do; it's just how it feels).

Going away, or is that just on gifts?

I have spent £80 on 10 crackers.

I am too scared to add up the rest, I don't want to know. hehe
