    Bugger that, have you seen the price of batteries?

    If it's a little girl, just save up your used elastic bands over the year, stick them in a coin bad from the bank (they're free) and tell her there are Loom Bands. She'll love them.

    You should try telling your family to their face what you think of them. I did a few years ago - hardly seen any of them since.

    Childrens' presents are a new chimney brush.

    Interesting news on the subject:

    Nearly one in two men feel depressed over Christmas, survey reveals

    Clearly these men are not embracing their miserable old bastardness. Feel mean and rejoice guys!

    They have to pay for their shiny door-to-door suits somehow.
