Did you drive home for ChristmasThis is ridiculous. My 15 and 13 year old have received the following for Xmas.....
Me and the mrs: £300 each money in a card., £300 JD sports voucher, approximately £100 worth of 'stocking fillers' each, amazon echo each.
Grandparents: £100 each in a card from maternal and paternal grandparents. Mountain bike for son, Ipad for daughter.
Auntie: £40 each in a card.
That's £2400 spent on two children. I love em, they're my kids, I know they'll appreciate it, but fuck me!

Just dropped two of my kids off - an amazing morning. One of them burst into genuine tears of happiness when she opened one of her presents. Was lovely to see. Won’t see them now for 17 days as they are off to Australia but was wonderful to see.

I well remember my childhood playmate next door getting mountains of presents ,literally mountains , all very expensive , made me so embarrassed to show him my compendium of games , ludo,draugths etc , also maybe a cheap Tommy gun off the market , but when I look back I learned a lot more from having nothing and seeing how privelidged he was , don’t ask me what , and I wouldn’t deliberately make kids go without , all I,m saying is going without makes you think a bit more about things

Did someone hold a gun to your head and force you to shell out so much money on them? I'm assuming the answer is no. Therefore, you (presumably) forked out of your own free will. No point complaining about it then.This is ridiculous. My 15 and 13 year old have received the following for Xmas.....

"Ba-dum tssh!"My mate is from Liverpool, he got his kids a huge trampoline, one of those mini range rovers they can drive round the garden in and a mountain bike each for Christmas for free of the internet. I asked him which website, I should have known he'd say Google Earth !!
Why not? Afford it, do it. They’re worth itThis is ridiculous. My 15 and 13 year old have received the following for Xmas.....
