    What's everyone GIVING for christmas?

    On a less selfish note....:p

    I'm giving my parents a big tapas selection box with loads of meats and cheeses, herbs and spices, pickles and sauces from Spain, as they just LOVE Spanish food and want to live there

    I'm giving his mam a hardback printed book with lots of wedding pictures in, as she complains she doesnt have any photos, and possibly a jigsaw/apron with some mad design/picture on

    - see it here

    I Love all that stuff!

    Can't tell you what im getting the Mr though, he will read the board

    We've spent a bomb on the twins, it would have been more if we hadn't have lost a grand with farepack(cunts).
    Mostly toys and a few nice clothes.
    I've bought a bottle of something for most of the family.
    I haven't bought Debs andything yet because everytime we've been shopping she's been there.

    :( thats really bad like Jim, im sorry to hear you were caught up in that shit.

    :evil: bastards.

    next year, put it in an ISA, as the banks are regulated by the FSA and adhere to the banking code, so should they go bust you get up to 33K ish back.

    :) hope to catch up with you, debs, james and millie soon xx

    We got a memo about it at work, and if you had paid with a credit card then you can get it back but if you paid cash or with a debit card then you aren't entitled to it. Aren't loads of famous people giving money and they're dishing it out between everyone???

    This year I have only got my boyfriend a very expensive present but he's worth it and he's been after it for ages

    Times running out for family presents though as we're having our xmas on the 16th, probably get mam a new bag, dad some holiday shirts and my bro something computery

    Christmas sucks this year. Ive bought my mam a sewing machine (which she wanted) and shes getting my L7 mobile. My dad, as usual, is being a pain and "doesnt want anything" :rolleyes: and my nana is seriously ill in hospital so who knows :( No one else to buy for really, except a few friends.
