Wow! How much are some of you spending???

Of my own money... about £250 a child I guess

About £210 per child this year, nearly £100 each more than other years. I have recently gone back to work after a long break so I’ve splurged a bit 😬

Wow! How much are some of you spending???

How is that your business, exactly?

How is that your business, exactly?

It's a public message board...

@Episcomama a reasonable amount without going into debt for it. What people spend is all relative to their household income.

I may regret asking this but what's a 'pup'? Does it mean he dresses up as a puppy?
