UK: My daughter’s school will have their annual Christmas fayre soon. It cost £10 for adult and £6 for child just to get it. Is this I unreasonable?

You have to pay for everything once you are there as well and it’s always very basic. Last year it cost only £2.

Scam?

Guys, what do you think, is this a scam? A sugardaddy is writing to me on tiktok messages that he would want me to be his sugarbaby and send 6000 pounds weekly if I am just loyal and honest to him? I told him I have a husband etc and he said he doesn't really ask for sex things, just a companionship so I keep asking...

Second time mums: gift from baby

Second (or third, fourth etc) time mums, are you doing a "gift from baby"? I would like to do one for my son. He'll be 2y3mo when baby arrives and so has not long had his birthday, and then, of course, Christmas. So I'm at a loss of what I can do as a gift from his brother.

Christmas

Please tell me whether I’m being spoilt or not? We are a 1 income family. Whenever I buy my husband anything I draw cash out of the joint and pop it into mine so he doesn’t see what he’s getting. For my birthday I had a beautiful gift from him - which cost around £200. For Christmas I always go above and beyond fo...

Christmas shopping

Do you think that it is logical to go Christmas shopping with a 3 year old? Lol will she remember the things I bought her or will she constantly ask for the things I bought her if she sees it?😂 I’m really contemplating whether I should waste my time looking for a babysitter or should I just take her with me?😂

Are you going to wrap baby’s Christmas presents?

This is baby’s first Christmas so we want to make it special. However it seems a little silly to spend money on wrapping paper for her gifts if we’re just going to open them up for her. She’s too young to do it herself. I’ve bought her a Christmas stocking instead but wondering now if she’ll like having the wrapping...
