Re: What is the worst......

My Nanna used to make a point of buying every person in the family the exact same amount of money - to the penny!

This meant that she would go out and buy a present then spend the rest of the alloted money on slightly odd presents to make up the money.

One year i got given a pack of 10 disposable shower caps, but because that would have topped me over the alloted money, the present of 10 disposable shower caps was a shared present with my mum! :D

Well Gayle, did hear Martin Lewis speaking recently about 'Not cancelling Christmas' due to the credit crunch, advising you to allocate a certain amount to presents and not to go beyond this.

So think your Gran could well have been his personal assistant in another life .. :D
