Sorry folks but it’s nearly that time of year again. Joy for most people but pain and disappointment for others. Christmas can be a time of giving and receiving but also of reflection towards those that cannot give what they would like. Gifts are not about value or size but about sentiment and thought and time spent with those that you love dearly.
If you don’t agree with that, why not book a Christmas shopping weekend in London where you can eat and drink to excess and get that credit card right up to it’s limit !!!
