And another question, sorry! Do you keep a tally of what's in your pot, or leave it to be a surprise when you open it?
Hi again, recurrent-ostrich, some people keep account, but most of us prefer awaiting the excitement of not knowing how much is in there and, most generally, it's a great surprise!I never aim too high with my thoughts and have always been very happy! My personal Totals are on my signature below.
Any more question, please ask.

Haven't a clue what DH's getting me....or IF anything.
Don't worry about me sobbing away here, I'll manage somehow.
Hi Sue
Last year DH bought me undies all the wrong size (later I found out he asked my 20 year old neighbour what size to get cos he met her in the shop !! She was so worried she would upset me she went down about 4 sizes !! slippers pink fluffy ones with bows I hate pink and chocolates which give me migraines:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I look forward to this year it's got to be better. He does try though well I think he does!! He is always sooo pleased with himself too keep telling him he can't go wrong with diamonds:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Absolutely. I have bought all my own presents as per usual. Mind you, the only year he bought me presents they were so disastrous that they are still referred to as "The Christmas We Shan't Mention"..............
.....a tshirt (tight and short) with "!!!!!!" on (from DH) and a single pair of lacy knickers from an Asda 2 pack (from his parents). :rotfl:
We'd only been going out a little bit. At least I saw through the crapness of their gift giving and stuck with him as he's a total lovely, just rubbish at present buying, and gets it from his family, as you can tell.Long haul supporter #290POAYDBX2014 #043LBM Dec 2011 Debt £51K Debt Nov 2014 £42K0 -
