Love this. We were in a similar situation to your family by the sounds of it but I never once felt “my life is so tit, my mum put Vitalite on my sandwiches”. This time of year always makes me think of my mum saving all year to make sure my brother and I had lovely gifts to open. We had the same decorations for loads of years and would share advent calendar between the two of us but so what?!
Money is very important to my brother, but then he’s a twit. I reckon he’d shake a tip jar if he thought he’d get away with it.

Same! To be honest, even now I don’t really care, I’ll just buy marge. I think this just proves that she doesn’t actually know what it’s like to be living on the breadline. I’ve never commented on here before and don’t follow her that closely, but something that’s always stood out to me is how a lot of the stuff she recommends doing are things that take quite a bit of time. Does she think that people have huge amounts of time to go and shop the supermarket reduced stand in the evening?
