Oh not all ready, it's bad enough thinking that autumn may be sneaking up on us without winter too.

It not the shops fault - we are the same in garden centres and it's all due to demand. You can't not have stuff people want or they go elsewhere.

The bulbs arived a couple of weeks ago. We got autumn bedding in at work last week because people were demanding primulas, pansies and violas. We have got heather coming this week for the same reason. Have already been asked for bare root hedging :shock:

Just waiting for the first enquiry about when the christmas trees are due in :roll:

Who are all these super organised people and how do they cope living their lives 3 months ahead of the rest of us

Hey...Come on Lizzie....Please don't shoot the messenger :wink:

Christmas times seem to come with an increasing regularity the older you get.. as do birthdays :roll:

I'm thinking of auditioning for Grumpy Old Women......I'm definitely getting grumpier as I get older, and more stroppy. Plus, I tend to watch the show nodding my head in agreement with quite a lot of it....

Maybe I should just turn into the Mad Cat Woman now instead of in 10 years time..... :twisted:

LOL - one of those 'I should have stayed in bed' moments for poor Lizzie

I actually thought last year some shops managed to show a little restraint in their promotion of Christmas - the general message that everyone is downright peeved with Christmas being throw upon us earlier and earlier every year.

It might be the case of people power - if enough people complain about the too early promotion, they might actually hold it off - at least til November!!

A turkey is for life, not just for Christmas...
