    Is Wogan still getting paid for his attendance these days?

    Now I know I am a failure as a shop proprietor but what on earth is the logic in having a half price sale in your Christmas shop at this time of year? :confused: BHS.

    BHS always amazes me at Christmas, it's normally a fairly respectable, demure shop for most of the year, then suddenly in November it's transformed into Poundstretcher on crack!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Desperation.

    It's madness - no wonder people shop at the last moment. They reduce Christmas cards just at the time people start to buy them. Ditto Christmas trees, decorations and gift wrap. Last year they did half price on Christmas puds. Why thn do they stock the flipping shelves in September?
    Last year I bought a load of M&S stuff on line. Big sale the week after so I took it all back and bought it again!
    Madness. :mad:

    Rant over. :o

    You need to christen it with bits of crisp, biscuit crumbs, pet hairs and an unidentifiable sticky substance (we think it's jam but not sure) on at least one of the function keys!

    lol at your rant Bookie..but I do get where you are coming from. One of the reasons I try not to buy clothes for christmas or anything thats likely to be reduced. Or I wait until they reduce it then buy it :)
