    You know, the one thing I love about christmas is that when this time of year approaches, people seem to (or I seem to notice people) heading out for walks as a family. Little kids wrapped up in scarves and wooly jumpers. Parents the same. I think xmas brings out the family spirit in people more than any other time of the year. That, I love.

    But I hate how it gets earlier..... and earlier..... and earlier.... every year.

    Keep in

    Gah, wanted some books from the book people but can't get it to £25 for free delivery, closest I can get is £23.50. There's two sets I really want and about 5 others that I'd quite like. It's like a level maths all over again.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    I'll know Christmas is coming when I see the Famous Grouse advert..., or the Ferrero Rocher one.

    I'd forgotten the Famous Grouse one:D. Do they still do the old "with these FR you are really spoiling us ad"?
    It's funny when they spend so much on ads we like all the old ones!

    Ames I usually find a code for free delivery on here. Hang on will have a look.

    The old ones are the best Skint without a doubt...holidays are coming, holidays are coming (although they have modernised it several times!)

    I don't know and don't care. I am working (out of the UK) for Christmas. And where I'm going, they don't have chimneys. :rolleyes::D
