I think this year we have have to buy just for children. Saving for IVF is expensive let alone more and more children to buy for! Wonder how they will take it when we tell them šŸ¤”.. probably won't get anything in return but hey ho!

Bless you, I wouldn't worry about it. You've got to do what you've got to do. IVF is ridiculously expensive. Xx

I would try not to worry too much about it Hun. Saving for IVF is far more important. I've decided to just mainly buy for the children this year & have asked my good friends who I normally buy quite a lot for ( & do well from in return ) if we could just exchange one small gift instead this year. They agreed & asked for Ā£8 Primark pyjamas, slippers, calendars etc which is a massive help. My baby is due in December & buying all the things he will need has to be my priority this year .People who really matter won't care & will understand. Xx

Yeah well I have a lot of family and then friends on tip so it costs and absoloute fortune usually. And I am quite genourous such as buying little mix tickets last year.. every year I say I'm not doing it and then I do. Which is fine I don't mind but then for example my sister in law who we bought what she hinted at turned round on Christmas eve and said she couldn't afford after buying the kids birthday presents. They earn double what we do as I'm a student nurse and I spent more buying the 3 little mix tickets for her daughter than she did on presents. So this year I think stuff it. Going to be a hard Christmas anyway as I should have been due on the 21st of December so not going to be feeling the Christmas spirit I don't think
