I'd say well over £100 for her, easily, with some items bumping up the value even more because of thrifty buying. Around £50 for each child, plus any last minute impulse buys.

The last two years - her divorce years - saw me giving more and more, partly because if I hadn't, she wouldn't have had much - it was bad enough him leaving without taking Santa as well. Also I had to get things on behalf of the children. And see to Mother's Day and her birthday from the kids as well as me.

But, this year, she has moved in with her new OH, life is rosy on all levels, and as I say there are now 4 kids for me to consider instead of two.

So it seems like now is a very sensible time to make the change.

How wonderful xxxx

I have a straightforward family to gift for this year. DS wife and 4 children. My budget for gifts is £200 I think it ridiculous how many presents they get so mine are kept to a minimum with monies given at various times during the year
Eg Gd wanted ice cream tonight Local freshly made stuff £10 She is just out of hospital though Plus I promised a small amount for her bank as she was super brave getting her adinods out Baby just started walking. First shoes £35 so it goes on Therefore I don't feel mean not spending a fortune at Christmas

Seren your DD should know you have a restricted income so I would tell her you budget and ask how it should be split. It may be the other grandparents may not be so evenly generous to all 4 children

Well yesterday was fab:T

It took just over 4 hours to get there with a Waitrose S/S stopover. I didn’t have my Waitrose card with me but when I mentioned I was one of their best customers, the young SA gave me the mag for free:)

We parked in the longstay car park at Terminal 4, which was free for the first 2 hours. We made it back to the car with minutes to spare. A few minutes later and it would be £27.40:eek:

DS seemed to be the last to come through but when I saw him I dived under the barrier and did my duty as a parent and squeezed the life out of him:D It was sooooooo good to see him:smileyhea:smileyhea

He ate his picnic in the car as we joined the 6 miles of stationary traffic on the M25:o

It was a long long long drive home but we chatted all the way......calling in at the same Waitrose S/S heading north where whoopsies were being stickered:rotfl:

I could hardly get out of bed this morning:o
