I aint started yet but I certainly won't be doing what my brother did last year.... He spent just over £1400 on his gf :eek:

Arjun806 · 17 Nov 2008 at 20:54

I want to get mine out of the way, but I'm terrible at presents

Frapple · 17 Nov 2008 at 20:54

meh, just ignore it like every year.

Christmas again is it? Just another commercialised swizz to sap more money out of me for the sake of one day.

I get my wife to do every aspect of shopping, as she absolutely loves shopping whereas I absolutely loathe shopping. Especially this time of year. For me it's either money in cards or a quick trip down to the boot sale to get some second hand gnomes for the garden or something akin.

Also the cheap tat such as socks, mugs etc that I was given the previous year are all kept ready to be re-wrapped and returned to their corresponding recipients. They want to fob me off with cheap tat then I shall return the favour.
