Christmas messages....how ******* much?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Ours are being delivered by Tesco tonight. I finally managed to drag out of the wife how much it cost.......£325 on food! What the **** has she bought? And I bet that doesn't include bevvy.

And I notice it's being delivered when I'm at the match, so I can't go through it all. Nae wonder the number of marriage break ups increases at Christmas; she spends an absolute fortune every year.

Are you inviting 25 guests to dinner?!

We've spent £50 max for two including drink.

I have no idea what she's bought; it must be caviar and black truffles. During the game tonight, I will only be able to think about getting home and looking at the receipt. The fridge won't be big enough. This is why I dread Christmas.

Ignorance is bliss. You should never have asked how much.

Wow that’s some bill a although we tend to drip feed stuff over the last month or so and put it away for Christmas so it all mounts up and haven’t really got a clue what we have spent with the rest to come tomorrow.

Unless it's a Fortnum & Mason hamper, how is it possible to spend over £300 on messages? Women and Christmas are a deadly combination!

Lovely lassie! Probably doesn't want a gruel based Christmas dinner. 😯

£325?!?! On food?! Jesus Christ, I’m pissed off on your behalf and I’m the frivolous one in the house.

[heretoday]

A couple of bottles of decent French red. £28.

Good evening.

We have mair mince pies than Mr Kipling. I've never heard of some of the stuff that's been delivered. We usually have Christmas dinner at my sister's, but this year we're having a quiet dinner with just the two of us at home, which, apparently, justifies over 300 quid's worth. She's bought a turkey the size of an ostrich, though I no longer eat meat! In mitigation, there are 24 cans of Guinness included, which is very pleasing.

[Scouse Hibee]

😂 At least you’ll get a decent bevvy for your money. Have a great one forget about the money it’s Christmaaaaaaaaaaaas.

[Hibby70]

For £300 I'd be looking for Jamie Oliver to come round and cook it included in the price.

Sounds like you'll be having turkey for the rest of the month.

£14 for a bottle of wine? I really must be a skinflint!!

I can't drink red wine at all. It's an acquired taste. Making a wee start on the Guinness for the Man United match.

Remember, a bottle of 13% volume wine has the same alcohol content as 10.5 25ml measures of drinks like Gordon's gin or Smirnoff vodka.

I realise you can probably find a litre of vodka for £14, but good wine is better value than you might think.

Not with minimum pricing at 50p a unit

Interesting point, although I don't drink spirits.

I only drink one type of wine and it costs £5 per bottle, a steal.

One bottle a day keeps me going!

Bloody hell. Is that right? So half a bottle of wine is the same as 5 gins or vodkas?

According to government logic: half a bottle of red wine is good for you in moderation but gin?

Crazy thinking!

I had no idea. However if I had 5 neat spirits I reckon I’d be under the table but not so with two/three glasses of wine?

Me too.

It does not make sense at all.

[Sylar]

Getting it delivered is probably worth the money alone. It's absolute bedlam out there just now - people really do lose their absolute **** at this time of the year and their ability to behave with any decorum. People actually pushing other folk out of the way. Arguments. Homicidal trolleys...

Having said that, £325 is mental...

We're having 12 people on Christmas Day, and I bought all of our meat from our local butcher, plus a large shop of things from Tesco - that was £280 in total...granted, the need to buy booze is negated by the wine cellar which is currently full

I can only suggest that you must be having a psychological reaction to the vodka/gin because the alcohol content is exactly the same.

There's more alcohol in 2 pints of Stella than 5 measures of most vodkas.

I live just down the road from Fort Kinnaird and the drive home has been horrendous for the last week. People driving like absolute maniacs, the skipping of the red lights at the Wisp crossroads is even worse than normal. There was a pretty bad accident there today, I'm only surprised it's taken so long.

Christmas spirit always seems in short supply from about the 20th onwards. I went a quick shop on Sunday morning for my part of the dinner, was busy but relatively stress free. All set now and glad I don't have to head to the shops again.

Next year I'm off to a country that doesn't have Christmas. The whole thing is a complete nonsense.

If I had been guessing that off the top of my head I’d have thought a bottle of wine was like 5 or 6 vodkas/gins. Deary dear.
