    Food, gas/leccy really, that and I small splash here and there for family birthdays. Xmas is low key between me and the OH, but do lay on a good spread for my son when he turns up and get him a little something to 'keep out the cold' ;) . Managed to pick up that 'half price per kilo whole chicken' deal at co-op a week or so ago, so that's the roast sorted this year :D
