dutchy101 Beat this - there were people round my way with trees and decorations up on 26th December last year, thats 364 days early
DavecUK This year I’m putting the lights out Mid November to get an extra few weeks out of them, just wish I could afford the leccy to turn em on!
Meldrew At this rate forget about getting the baubles out just hang your Easter eggs on the tree, I am sure they will be out by then.
Meldrew DavecUK It’s the parents that we feel for as it’s a awful long time that the kids are seeing all this and some just wanting throughout.
Doram Meldrew So we are getting the tree out of the loft on Sunday, Is it me or they pushing things earlier and earlier. Made this for dinner yesterday. Definitely came early.
CoyoteOldMan Doram Yum. I add cubed pancetta and a small glass of Marsala or Madeira when sauteing the lot.
Platypus I wonder if the supermarkets are trying to cash in now before people realise they won’t have any spare cash come October. Our families stocking will consist of a lump of coal and an orange ( if available), to stay warm and keep the Scurvy at bay!
DavecUK Platypus Don’t forget the coke and a cats whisker, plus a long bit of wire and an old telephone handset for the Christmas message. Me, I’m going to get some candles in for warmth and light!
