How much?

mum2one

Im doing well worked out that had 58 people to buy for the annoying part is some of the people I have to buy presents from me and my daughter, though quite lucky my parents buy for the same people so were always bargain hunting,
done 3/4 of my xmas shopping based on buying from parents, me and daughter, the proper cost should be £1,000 weve spent £525, were doing well.
just got my parents to buy for £100 of me £40 from daughter
daughter budget £150.

Did a classic though, just come back from hols in Devon, the amusement arcade there was giving away tokend fro free games of bingo, brainwave as they were the same tokens for the prizes, we went in asked for our free token, put 30p in bingo, looked like i was staying, parents went in, used the same excuse, get the freebie - done that the 3 times weve been down there this year, and with the free tokens, got 8 sets of xmas prezzies. bargain.

Gosh, don't you all buy alot of presents for lots of different people.


Here is my very MSE list, I have an agreement between my sisters and extended family that their are too many children to buy for now so we decided not to buy each other any more.

Mum - PJ/Slippers - £30

Dad - PJ/Slippers - £20

OH - Me:D , no seriously, nothing, he has everything he could possibly wish for, thats what I tell him anyway.

DD- Laptop (paid £49 for it with a mobile phone contract and its a good one, well actually if you go via quidco you get £50 cashback, so I didn't pay anything for it)
Twister (8.97)
Mp3 player(17.00)
Robopet (24.00),
2 Ps games (50)
and blo*dy high school musical 2 DVD.(20) (only present I haven't got yet as its not released until 3rd December).

Ds- Wii (got that free with another mobile phone contract)
Mp3 player (17)
various starwars Lego things (cost a small fortune) (60)
2 PS games (50)
and a remote control car. (50)

Total = £346.97 (excluding free gifts).

First time I've added it up, my budget was £300, dash it!

That's me done, the cards are written, and all the gifts are wrapped and in loft.

Just the veg to prepare.:rotfl:
