    Yes!....and in Eldon Square..... then the Fenwick windows will be on show :j:j:j Love seeing the decorations - makes Christmas shopping so much more fun! :D

    I think the Angel of the North should be decorated too! Some sparkly fairy lights attached to the wings and tinsel around the head would transform it into a lovely North East Christmas attraction! I think I'll write to Newcastle City Council......watch this space! :p

    Is it me, or are some places getting earlier in putting up Christmas decorations?
    Then again, in June, a shop in Town was selling 2016 diaries. *eeeeeeppppppppp*
    BTW, I've realised that I'll be missing the first 4 days of adverts 'cos me and Mr Dontone are going away for a few days. Looking forward to reading some of the comments when I get back that you lot will be posting in regards to either winning or going nuts at the advents.
    Not looking forward to the dreaded Excel sheet I'll be doing before it all kicks off though. I can't decide whether or not to make more of an effort with Facebook this time, some folk seem to be really lucky on those during December. Hopefully, some of that luck might come my way.
    Be Lucky
    BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

    comping = nowt more thrillin' than winnin':T :j

    I love seeing Fenwicks window at Christmas we always call past while we are at the Winter Festival.

    I think that is a fab idea for the The Angel pet (one thing is for sure you can't make the bliddy big ugly monstrosity any worse :rotfl: )

    :D
