I'm at around £800 what with the food, seeing relatives etc.

£300 at a guess

Upto now... £0.00 :-X

Far too bloody much......as usual!! ::)

Not spent much this year, we're away for Christmas, the youngest daughters fella is cooking christmas dinner so the wifey and I are going to put our feet up and have a few drinks :)

About £1500. Gotta do the shopping yet, so £1520. ;D

Not alot. I haven't got alot. So folks aren't getting alot. :( :( :( :(

Around the £2000 mark so far still got to go out tomorrow yet, the pleasure of having 2 sons and a mrs.  :(

So have you remembered all your OOF buddies in that splash out :P

Yesterday I spend £260 on a pair of back tyres, £250 on a Wii with all the kit for the kids; wife spend £250 between Sainsburys and Tesco, another £50 on booze, £30 on petrol....so a grand total (so far) off £840 and I don't go back to work until Jan 4th :-/

Yes. I bought enough booze to have one for each of you. :y

But wait, I hear you say, you cant possibly drink 6000+ shots over the holiday period.

You are quite correct, I dont drink. But, then again, I have no 'buddies' either. :P

About £300 so far on presents, plus still got the Mrs and one of my lads to get....

Plus £140 for 2 return trips to Caernarfon Boxing Day and New Years Eve to pick up and take back my other lad.....

Surprisingly cheap considering the size of our family !!!!

£0

Still no idea what to buy an old bag for Christmas

Dont see the harm in the thread to be honest, we all know Christmas is an expensive time of year.......!!!

What next......??? Stop telling people how great our Omega is running cos some of us are having nothing but trouble with our own......????

lol

Moving on........

:y

Actually,the purpose was for a bit of sharing. I am absolutely broke at the moment trying to rob Peter to pay Paul. Its sometimes nice to know that you're not alone and in the same boat. I dread Christmas every year for this very reason.

Having to deal with all  the shopping i think my patients  ::) ::) Went to Tesco to pick up the last few gifts at 6.30am today and still busy :( :(.

Cost of Christmas so far: zero.

I have neither income nor savings so I am financially completely dependent on my wife.  I think it's costing her a bomb. :) :) :)

This year has cost us zilch:  Food care of Tesco cardholder points saved up  over the year and pressies care of various internet survey sites and shopping panels  ;D

Very little

Some extra food but not much

Presents from vouchers earned by doing surveys

Sod all, Bah Humbug......



Since the kids (my sisters) have grown up we dont have much to do with christmas as it is really for the kids.

So nothing at all on pressies, bought a bit extra food in as the shops will be getting in short supply of the basics.

Plus am not allowed to drink due to medication (Not that I drink much any way.)  So all I hope for now is some good TV.

Yes you do Steve  :-*

I took the easy option this year  :y
All the adults i buy for, are getting either M and S vouchers or WH Smiths vouchers. The kids i buy for are getting cash.

A couple of other relatives are getting bottles of wine.

Holly on the other hand.....will have to wait until after Crimbo for her main prezzie....coz what i originally ordered for her turned up today....its too bl**dy small  :-[ . So ive just ordered the 'correct' size on the internet.....but it wont turn up until after Crimbo  :(
