    I was just reporting on a story on the BBC - don't shoot the messenger!

    I will be spending about £5,000 all in I guess, we are staying in a Hotel for Xmas - then we are in a Forest Lodge for New Year. We shall eat out every day, of course. Presents will cost about £2,000.

    It's not at all about money ..... it's just how we like to do things, and how we like it costs a certain amount of money.

    None of the money will be borrowed as it will be fully paid from my Xmas bonus.

    Xmas could cost a lot more, however - as I have spotted a car I fancy, may buy that as a Xmas gift to myself and pop it in the garage with the other 4.
    Wow, a rare post worthy of a 'thanks' and a point and laugh :rotfl:

    No, wrong ... I did not get this wealthy by wasting money ... the tree is an indoor/outdoor tree which can be used throughout the year ... maybe on the terrace, by the pond - if it doesn't scare the ducks!

    So, the cost is for years .... amazing value for money.

    I could have paid more - but struck a bargain ...

    Says it all really. Christmas is all about spending time with friends and family. The fact that you're spending it in a hotel suggests you're lacking in friends and any family willing to put up with you.

    don't let other peoples bitterness and jealousy get to you mrree. Some people just don't like to see others success and happiness. Enjoy your time and money with your family as you see fit to spend it. Seasons greetings to you and yours.

    How dare you ... I provide homes for the homeless - what do YOU do to help people?

    No you dont. If you provided jhomes for the homeless they would be free.

    What you do, is drain the poor dry, and rip off the taxpayers who pay towards HB. Id say your less than worthless.
