[Hopkirk]

What have you bought me?

[Bobbisox]

a pair of socks
isn't that waht you buy for men?

[boxtops]

Sorry Bobbi, I bought my first one about three months ago.... we buy when we see things, and this year we are definitely only buying for the under-18s. I'm missing the choosing and picking but it has to be, the family is getting so big that none of us can afford to buy for the adults any more! Now it's October tomorrow, I was thinking about starting to write the cards......

[Hopkirk]

You won't believe this, but I bought myself some socks today!

[Bobbisox]

We have decided to spend £50 on one person that we draw from a hat, but I will always spoil my Ben, I have just bought him a Zip Scooter

[Bobbisox]

send me the receipt hoppy
sorted!

[boxtops]

I think that's a nice idea Bobbi, my brother's family do that, there are five adult couples. Makes sense!

[Bobbisox]

there about seven of us adults so we put the mames into a hat and the one you pull out , you buy for, it works well boxy

[marval]

That is a good idea Bobbi, it saves a lot of hassle.

[Bobbisox]

we have done this for a couple of years marval, say I get my s.i.l, I ask my daughter wht she thinks he will want...job done

[marval]

I do like that idea, stops you having to worry about what to get people.

[Bobbisox]

obviously there's a few outside the immediate family I will buy for, mainly the girls I go out with on Tuesday nights, I usuall try to buy them all the same and have a budget of a tenner for them(7)
