Wife and I buying each other small token gift, then £100 each to spend in sales. When you're grown up does it matter if you get it Christmas Day or a few days later?0

That all deepens how high maintenance your mrs is. I have to produce a present as soon as she wakes up (5 euros this year, cheers generali), and then something "good" (by which I mean expensive) in the afternoon. There would be tears and a lot of sulking otherwise!0 -
If you buy your Euro early and it all goes pear before Xmas, don't worry.
You can always make a drachma out of a crisis.

We used to do this but there is now no point as the sales started weeks ago ...... actually most shops seem to have a permanent sale these days.0 -

Your local bank or post office.
It strikes me that there has been substantial sweet price inflation in the UK in recent years: I remember when you could buy a packet of toffee and still have money for a 10p packet of space invaders if you were careful.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”
