[hiddley]

Mother. Tens machine. Bought.
Father. Aviator hat (he's a farmer so gets cold). Bought.

Friend's children. Sweets and girly stuff for her teen. Bought.
DD. Nike hoodie and bottoms, sapphire earrings. Bought. Trainers, still to be bought. Fragrance, will let her pick out on 26th.
I don't have a partner or PILs to buy for. No grandparents either.

Good job your kids are imaginary Crumbs or that'd cost a fucking fortune

Urgh I don't know. I've spent £900 so far and I'm sick of it. Still have tickets for four people, cash wallets for a couple and PIL presents plus dh.

I got to the second car lease on crumbs' post and thought it might be a windup

A lot of what that poster types are not a wind up. They post on threads where others are genuinely looking for advice and spouts utter shite about they're own imaginary children. They're so stupid they can't get their storyline right or even the ages of the imaginary children.

jennielou75 I’m killing myself laughing at your 24 woolovers jumpers! That’s mighty efficient if you!

Hoi Polloi - home made fudge

But of course

Stop showing off @CH8. 😂😂 if your DD doesnt like the Caribbean island will you pass it my way. I won't expect it giftwrapped dont worry. I need a holiday 🤔

Crumbs - it may be an idea for you to keep a notebook with details of your family/house/village/aga in for you to refer back to before submitting future posts. Might stop those inconsistencies.

endehors

Moi? Au contraire, I try to keep the main presents reasonable - we wouldn't want to spoil them.

They all have stockings from Grandfather Frost with small tokens - mainly silk ties, opening night tickets, ball gowns. I'm sure you know the type of thing. And of course we take any surplus to the children of The Poor [tm]
