    Prezzie-wise I spent about £70; foodwise I spent around £50 but have lots of leftovers.

    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.
  • £0 on presents, about £50 at the pub on drinks :xmassign:

    have you no friends deserving of a small token of appreciation of your friendship henry, or did you make your own gifts?

    Instead of presents i invited friends round for home made mulled wine + food, everyone seems to have so many gadgets etc that i thought it was pointless buying things they dont need, and for the christmas meal at my sisters i helped with the food bill :xmassmile

  • mine was around £350, which is FAR less than the last few years!
    :santa2:
  • Was extremely pleased with myself this year. Had bought the majority of my pressies in the sales throughout the year so i probably spent less than £100 throughout the year. Went to Morrisons to complete my food shop and i had got stamps throughout the year so the bill for that was £40 I had stamps totalling £35.00. So I didnt use any plastic at all. A first for me. PF ;)
