He was such a great support to Aaron whilst he was in BB, I am sure they will just love having some time together. I

Flipping eck quasi its xmas and he's loved up - its not like he's going crazy on Bond st

Doesn't take much, does it?

But in all honesty, I think we do need to stop bashing them for their shopping habits. It started out as joking banter against it, but it seems to have gotten a little more heated since.

First off, we don't even have any proper idea of Aaron's overall financial situation whatsoever. We do know he has a decent job, and has just won £50k, but that's all really. For all we know, he could be pretty well off despite his winnings. We really do not know as much about him as some of us would like to believe.

Also, just because they go out shopping regularly, doesn't mean that they're spending bucketloads of cash. They haven't been spotted at high end boutique stores as such, and most of it is high street. They have possibly even spent as much as the average Christmas shopper. Again though, we have no real indication of just how much they are spending.

Aaron doesn't strike me as the type of person who would go overboard with something like spending anyway. He seems to consider everything thoroughly before indulging. Doesn't anyone remember 'Giftgate'?

I really don't think we need to worry about anything here. Taking the mickey out of their shopping habits is completely fine, but digging into them about it is a little out of order IMO.

Well I am cautious soul who broke a tooth on a turkey bone over xmas and am considering dental bills and saving my tooth.


Noone is digging into them just advising caution and sparking lively discussion

I do apologise folks I only posted a couple of tweets with a harmless comment.I will be careful what I say next time didn't want to start WW 3.Epecially as the country can't afford it.

I have a sore gum and worries about dental bills but am not annoyed.Thanks for the tweet, I am glad Aaron's brother was with them and they are all mates. Faye is becoming part of the Allard clan sounds like.
Now all we need is for jem to back down and all will be well.
I dont know about the Uk not affording it but we certainly cant.

You did get some discussion going, to be fair. You pretty much brought everyone back from out of their Christmas shells.

Quite harsh considering that boxing day is part of Christmas shopping and sales at a reduced price.You can only refer 'reason' to yourself.Someone else's reasoning is their responsibilty especially as this is not a TV show where we can see what they are paying out.

Completely agree.

I did say it was Aaron's responsibility and that I 'm a cautious soul with a damaged tooth and a looming dental bill.I am looking at it from my perspective as are we all.
I hope those sales prices apply to the dentist.

Was it a wisdom tooth?;

First of all I trust you all had a great Christmas & Santa delivered some nice but not too many non expensive gifts?.

Amazed that anyone can be critical of the shopping habits of two young people, in love and who are still in the process of setting up home together?

It's Christmas FFS & boxing day is the start of the biggest sale season of the year. You may have heard of it? Just in case you haven't, millions of people (incl Faaron, shock horror) are at this very moment taking advantage of some awesome deals. It is nobody's business to how they spend their money even if they were down Bond St and Aaron chose to spend all his winnings on his Princess Faye. Which some seem to suggest would be wrong, it would still be none of your business.

I'm delighted they are enjoying themselves, if you can't indulge at Christmas then when can you?

Good for them.

Good old "Don't Milk It" Dave

Nope , an incisor.I still have those, hence my cautious streak with cash.I am hoping the root is not damaged.

Thats the one. Heaven forbid if Dave is still "milking it" and choosing his Christmas present

He has a son and I am sure Faye would not allow him to spend all his cash on her at the expense of his child.She is an adult woman able to to look after herself and buy her own stuff,
I think referring to her as a princess does her a disservice.It brings up images of high maintenance and spoiled behavior.
I have very faith in Faye and think she is quite independent with integrity.Thats why I knew she would do the bunjee jump and backed her in the Mf thread.
No grown woman wants to be considered spoiled with entitlement princess syndrome.As women we know education, working and paying your way is the road to happiness and self empowerment not living off a man Wag style.
I hate to see grown women described as princesses who should be indulged. Nothing to do with Faye.
She has been impressive since she came out and I am sure all her shopping is paid for by her.I am sure she would insist on it.She is a strong girl who would not take advantage of anyone.

Aaron's spending is his responsibility not Fayes. She has her own cash.

Maybe he is lactose intolerant.

Waiting for a tweet from A and/or F. Forensic on standby!!

First of all the prize money Aaron won is in my opinion as much Faye's as it is his. As IMV without their relationship Big Brother 2011 would have died a death weeks before the final & who knows what the outcome may have been? They are far too responsible to do so but if they did choose to blow the prize money on the flat, clothes, holiday's etc,etc. then so what? It's money they never had when they entered the house and I'm sure they are both articulate, pretty & smart enough to enjoy successful futures.

Referring to the girl you love as Princess (as Aaron has done) need not have any negative connotation you suggest. To me such a term puts her up on a pedestal and in all honesty that's exactly where she should be if Aaron's feelings are true, which I'm very sure they are.

Of course his son should rightly take precedence over anyone & I'm quite sure Aaron does so & Faye understands this. However this does not mean that he cant also spoil the girl he loves when he wants to. No doubt she will have her own money & will no doubt want to contribute, to what hopefully for them both will be a long term relationship. However I think it unhealthy to count (in essence keep score) I'm not suggesting they should have joint bank accounts but they are living together and in financial terms should treat each other as one entity.

Perhaps I'm a fool but when I'm truly in love with someone all that person would have to do is ask & I would give them the shirt off my back. I'm sure it's a flaw of mine but I come second to the people I love, as nothing makes me happier than making them happy.

Again though this is just what I do & what they choose to do is none of my or anyone's business.

^^^This.

Aw poppet that is such a lovely post

People are in love and can call each other endearing things.I dont think there is a meaning behind Aaron calling Faye princess.Just because she loves her that is why he calls her that.Nothing to it imo.

And the dress she wore on Live with Gabby? It is good to feel strongly about things but maybe avoid too much genneralisation.

good god. no, it's not. not in any way. at all.

Well said
