BUT I've got the best excuse for buying cheap no nonsense pressies for them all this year.................me and mine are going away snowboarding HA HA HA, and this trip had to be brought forward by a couple of months, so is hitting me hard financially. Therefore, they will have to make do with the 3 for 2 boots gifts that I bought with £66 of Boots points on that triple points weekend!!!! :rotfl:It's the cheapest and most organised Xmas I've EVER had!!! :j But still had to vote C!! :rolleyes:
Im only buying for close family as Ive got lots and lots of relatives. So just immediate family, everyone is understanding as I'm a single gal with a mortgage
Present list:
Chocs for mom - £2.50 from Aldi's
Chinese meal out with mom - £30 plus drinks
Magazine sub for younger bro - Free - well Tesco deals
Whisky for older bro - £9 with vouchers
Spending christmas pigging out with a bank balance in the black - Priceless

my only extravangance 2 freeezer hampers for £250 then i get the £10 deal from iceland.
total cost £430
BUT - nothing has been put on a card of any description, most of it will be covered by my Ebay Sales and I have been saving tesco stamps for months for the food and stuff.
We have a large family, but I have researched all pressies, and bought the cheapest from places like Amazon, Boots (3for2 plus points codes!) Argos etc and I have saved £150 by buying different items from different shops.
We will probably end up spending about £700 in total.
And I still need a tree of some sort - as we dont have one. (The dog ate last years.....) Although I do think that I will wait until the week before Christmas to grab a bargain. (Cost included in above).
