It's stir up Sunday so go make your puddings today .... actually we've already done ours, I like a bit of maturity in them so we make a batch of half a dozen and store them for a few years, it was most annoying the year the rat got at them. :cry:
Currently investigating the Hillmans of Sussex.

Ordered Jonathan's Kindle Fire and Elizabeth's Blackberry - that's all so far. Picking up Lisa's new car today - her Christmas present to herself.

Tony's made the Christmas puds (with recycled tanners)

Bought a few bits in Tesco yesterday.

It's up to Oscar of course but i think we should wait until December before preparing/thinking of Christmas.
Who started this topic?
In Holland they have already started their Christmas Markets!! It used to be they'd wait until Sint Niklaas went back to Spain!! :roll:
I despair when thinking of the general public falling into the commercial trap being laid by devious people with ulterior motives.
