Less than two weeks into September, and already signs of Christmas in the shops. This is far to soon, but can we do anything about it ?

    Tesco has had stock in for about a month now.

    There must be some demand for it, I suppose some people just like to plan ahead?

    I know of someone who has already finished her Christmas shopping (big family too). She does the same every year!

    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...
