Cheap Xmas!

It dawned on us that we can't afford to do Xmas this year. Well, we can but not in the true spirit of the season: over expensive, credit reliant shopping binges that we're told we ought to do by the media. So we've settled on something much smaller, limiting ourselves to just £200 for the whole shebang. And that really is everything - each other, three boys, family dinner, etc. Going to be a struggle but then why not? The rest of the year has been and we wouldn't want to go soft now!

Took a walk in to town at lunch time and bought some Fimo. Having spent a nice couple of hours the other day fiddling with Plasticine with Tommy, I thought back to the little Xmas decorations Mrs Brykins and I used to make in our teens. That led me on to thinking what a nice and thoughtful way of spending very little money on people this year.....so if you know me and deserve a gift this year, expect tree decorations, keyrings and other useless junk!
