Weekly poll

With the festive season almost upon us, we'd like to know what best describes your attitude towards spending this Christmas? (Please select one option only)
Christmas is a special time of year, and we'll spend the same as always 
We'll probably spend as we usually do and worry about it in the new year 
We're not worried about spending, as we have saved in advance / have been spreading the cost 
We've got to be more careful this year, but the kid(s) won’t lose out 
We'll be cutting back this year
