    €80k for a house? not bad at all!

    I've spent about €400 on pressies, and another €250 or so on myself as I build my hi-fi system.

    Around €150 -- that's the limit for the Kris Kindle we're doing in my family this year. Don't think there's anyone else I've to buy for. Handy.

    I did mine last weekend which wasn't too bad, but the next few days towns/cities all over Ireland will be mayhem - lots of people getting things done in a "hurry". I am staying out of town! Take some Natural Calms before you go shopping!!! :D

    little sis - €250 (trying to make up for years of neglect:p)
    bro - €40
    dad - €20 (might get him a book tomorrow too...)
    nephew - €60
    mum - €100ish (haven't got her anything yet, and it's her birthday on Crimbo day as well...)
    just got a few dvds and stuff to give to mates

    so about €500ish so far... easily the most that I've ever spent (would've felt guilty about splashing out €420 on Wii related goodness for myself otherwise:p)

    €100 on the brother
    €55 on dad
    €93 on mum
    €14 on best friend because we're not meant to be swapping pressies
    €150 on DVDs for myself. Really need to budget better. Oh and I got a Wii as my pressie so bought Wii Play and rubber skins for my wiimotes.

    Including Christmas stocking fillers, presents, wrapping, booze & the entire cost of puting on dinner for 10, then it's over a grand. :eek:
