    I do all my food christmas shopping when the store is marking down. Only spent £25 on food last Christmas and intend doing the same this year, we had Turkey, ham joint, goose and duck plus all the trimming for this. It was well worth getting up early for! If you spread it out over the next few weeks and include it in your oridinary shop you don't notice it. Just add a couple of items a week instead of one big Xmas shop.
  • I will be watching what im spending this year, things are tighter and the fact I have a few work social events im expected to attend doesnt help!
    When dealing with the CSA its important to note that it is commonly accepted as unfit for purpose, and by default this also means the staff are unfit for purpose.

    i cant cut back on xmas anymore than i already do. i spend £0 like i have for the last 10 years. xmas is about spending quality time with your loved ones not spending money you haven't got

    Ditto, once all of my bills are paid I have got nowt left. Off to the GF's parents for dinner.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.
