Are Lynnie and I the only couple who don't buy presents for each other at Christmas? I know it probably sounds a bit bah-humbug, but we have 3 reasons for not buying each other stuff...

1) We have a joint account that all our money goes into, so it's kinda like buying each other presents with their money (especially in my case, Lynnie earns a lot more than me!)
2) We're skint as we're saving for the wedding and honeymoon
3) We'd rather wait till the Jan sales anyway as we'll get more for our money then.

Any other couples do similar?

Our money is completely separate and we usually do go overboard on each other at Christmas, but it is generally things that we have spoken about that we want.

This year, bacause I can't spend any money, we have agreed not to go silly.

Just sorted the Mums out today, just father figures and his sibling to do

Spent all day in town with Mum today.

Get to go back and do it all again with Dad tomorrow.

If Maxine wants to go Thursday I might have to kill someone.
