this is gonna be an absolute shocker
Id have a cake one.
Cupcake day 1
Muffin day 2
Slice of jam roly poly day 3
Chocolate loaf day 4
leading up to a full size cake on the final day. Maybe multiple tiers of different types of cake. All for me.
this is gonna be an absolute shockerI’m just really intrigued about @Boredofthegram ‘s tea advent calendar I can’t wait to find out what’s in it
If you could have your own advent calendar that’s not already a thing what would it be? For me personally a Sims 4 expansion pack would be *chefs kiss* or perhaps a biscuit one. Bourbon behind day 1. Cuzzy cream day 2. Very disappointed with the ginger biscuit behind door 3. Or a crisp onepack of nik naks day 1….. monster munch day 23…..
im Not even surprised with you Wilma! Although I thought you’d might just get a mash potato sarnie behind every door perhaps?this is gonna be an absolute shocker

Bloody hell! Christmas isn't about what gifts people are given! I'm sorry she's treated you like that. A hamper would be more fun for a kid than yet another random bit of plastic anway.Arghhhh I honestly just want to scream! Why is Christmas more hassle than it's worth?
Me and bf have obviously had an expensive year, buying and renovating a house. In the last week I've had to arrange and pay for a new boiler due to broken heating, we've had a leak under our floor and life in general has just been really expensive. On his side of the family there's 8 nieces and nephews who we would normally buy for. I spoke to MIL and asked for all the childrens sizes because we're just going to get them PJs and some christmassy sweets/chocolates. I'll make little hampers. It will still cost me near on £100 just for them, but it's cheaper than the normal £20/£30 per child we'd spend. She was fine about it. BIL was absolutely fine about it and said "don't get them anything if it's not within your budget, the kids will get loads anyway!!". SIL has just sent me a shitty text "so you've not budgeted for my kids this christmas then? Thanks. They'll already get PJs from me on xmas eve. Here's their lists, let me know what you're getting off there and I'll cross it off". It's so fucking rude. I feel so stressed about money as it is, I had a right old cry to my boyfriend about it last night as my MOT is also due soon and I'm panicking about that in case I fail. I don't need her adding stress on top of that. I now feel like I need to just put stuff on credit cards so the kids get what they've asked for but then I shouldn't be made to feel like that. It's a catch 22, if I don't get what they want she'll hate me for it, but if I do, I'll hate myself for giving in to her
There's also lots of children on my side of the family, whos parents have all been more than happy for us to just get PJs!
Sorry to be a moaner I just needed to get it out.
That's horrid behaviour wtf?? You're not obligated to buy them anything, it's nice to get presents but they are kids, whatever junk they get, they forget about in a couple of months! They are already getting stuff from their parents and grandparents, smh. Does your bf know about her attitude? That's unacceptable, if my sister did that I'd tell her to fuck off. Don't stress about it at all, the kids would be happy just with the chocolate and sweets let's be honest.Arghhhh I honestly just want to scream! Why is Christmas more hassle than it's worth?
