    I would like it to be clear that I thanked that post for the PAD not the smuggery :D

    I haven't a penny to my name until next week not an inspiring start but should be a cheap weekend.:o

    Thanks for the comments about the tv. Currently watching one on ebay, its on for £1.99, finished tonight and so far has no bids, also within 5 miles of us so fingers crossed!!

    I'm after a bit of advice. Its OHs BIL to be birthday soon, for various reasons (including him threatening me) we dont particularly like him. However we are civil to him for the sake of family harmony and was thinking of getting him a token present - again just to keep the peace - we asked his sister what he wanted and she said money, however I am not prepared to put £10 in his card (as stingey as that may sound!). We cant even afford to spend £10 on ourselves at the minute so certainly not going to give it to someone we dont really like!!

    So if anyone has any ideas for a cheap (preferbly £5 or less) token present I would appreciate them!

    Can't you just get him a card? If family are aware of your financial situation they should understand that.

    Otherwise beer/chocolate/socks.

    They are aware yes, but his sister also has no money yet she bought me some candles and pyjamas for my birthday not long ago. Probably cost her less than £5.00 as well but kind of feel like we should get something. I know it sounds silly, but if it will keep the peace!
    May just go down the chocolates route, if he doesnt like it tough!
