    Crazy isn't it?

    I've just seen eggs in my Tesco and it's nowhere near Easter. ;)

    It's agesssss since I last had pancakes, in fact I can tell you exactly how many days if I could be bothered to count them. Perhaps I should shockingly break from this consumer regime I've got myself into and break from tradition. Pancakes this weekend! YUM




    Actually, the Mingles I bought for Christmas might take a little less effort. :o
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    The most depressing example of early items was back in 2008, when I got back to work from my summer holiday in florida (sun, booze, swimming pools and giant furries OH MY!) on 27th September to find the christmas department had opened. Nothing like a crash back to reality to go from wearing shorts and sunglasses to rain and christmas trees.
