    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

    It's a game between the shops and the consumer as to who blinks first. Alas this year I think the consumer will be needing some mouth-to-mouth...

    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.

    It's not officially Christmas until the Coca Cola holiday commercial is on and the red snowflake cups come out at Starbucks!
