    £200 might not stretch far these days but when you have to cover the whole of chrimbo with that amount then 200 quid on 1 person is a huge amount of money.

    I would love to be able to spend that but 1. I refuse to get myself into debt just to conform and 2, I have hopefully brought my children up to appreciate that it is not the value of what your given, it's the thought that counts and being with your family thats important.
