How much are you planning to spend this christmas? Told dh £80 and he laughed. Loud

I thought it was doable. The kids are both under 18months and won't notice.
DH just took a pay cut to enable him spend more time with us. I'm on mat leave (after taking on a new not-as-well-paying part-time job) with £108.85 MA paid weekly. I used to earn 1.5times what dh was earning but not anymore. Somehow, I get the impression that image is important to him as he just won't be seen to not be able to afford stuff (like tickets to premiership matches and pricey clothes).
I was wondering if anyone was doing christmas for £100 or less and how.

I agree totally with joolstoo.

The children get presents and we have stockings for the adults with a few small gifts.

I see it as a chance to have some time with family and friends with good food and wine. I cannot bear the orgy of spending that takes place this time of year.

Homemade presents for family. They LOVE it, and it doesn't cost so much.

ooh beck sounds intreaguing (sp) what do u make?
