Took Babs up to Brigg garden Centre yesterday and bearing in mind we are still in summer they have already started to bring out Christmas goodies!!!
Just think that this is too much, by the time Christmas finally comes round I will have had enough of it!!
Regards

There was an ad on TV for a newspaper this week (The Sun?) about some Christmas promotion
I could have screamed.....this was the first blatant mention of the C word for me this year....complete with a Santa hat
The toys have been pushed at kids with an obvious agenda since they BROKE UP for the Summer holiday.
