Secret Santa - don’t want to do it!

I enjoyed Secret Santa in our department of 10, even though I drew the bone-idle HOD twice.
£10 seemed about right then, but I retired 11 years ago. Probably needs to be about £15 now.Member #14 of SKI-ers club
Words, words, they're all we have to go by!.

I think £15 is too much, personally, for SS even though everyone is well above average wage in my team. I've been in 3 this year and I really liked all my presents, two had a £5 budget and one had £10 budget. The recipient of my work present thought it was hilarious and said it was the best SS he'd ever had. As he'd come from a different office and followed it up with an email to the whole team saying how much he'd enjoyed it, I have no reason to think he wasn't telling the truth!0
