00:00We usually save up all year, we put money away every month for Christmas so it's

00:05never normally an issue but yes it is more expensive but we just know that's

00:10going to happen. Well we go to the supermarket predominantly but this year

00:16we'll probably go to somewhere like Morrison's or Aldi rather than going to

00:22like the local butcher and spending a fortune and the local fruit and veg

00:25because the quality of those supermarkets are pretty good so that's how we'll get

00:29around it. I mean for me Christmas is quite a special event so you always just

00:33put a little bit aside every month so I suppose I'm quite anal in some ways that

00:38I'll always put some money into an account throughout the year and that will either

00:41go for prezzies or for cards or even things like postage now which is quite

00:44expensive so yeah so Christmas doesn't get budgeted particularly so it doesn't

00:49get spent on the spot it tends to be budgeted throughout the year so no there

00:53won't be any cutting down this year. But we understand and appreciate that

00:56everything has gone up in value. All costs have gone up.
