Just a bit of light-heartedness. Had to laugh at my youngest dog yesterday, she decided to get her Santa toy out from last Christmas! Its been with all the other toys all year and she hasn't bothered with it. Maybe she's dropping a hint! After all, it is only 5 months away.

3½ weeks ago, walking down the road outside London Bridge railway station, I passed a shop where the window was stuffed full of Christmas decorations, trees, and so on...

It does spoil it when the shops get things in so early, doesn't it? It always amuses me that it's the height of the holiday season almost , and Christmas things are appearing. I think the earliest I've seen Christmas cards on sale here is last June!

Wow Stroppy, that's an order and a half, well done you.
I notice that all the back to school stuff is out, good grief! they haven't been off for a week yet! why do shops always have to put stuff out so early?
Christmas will come early in our house, as Im having me hoof done in November I'll have to have all my presents in by then, so I can wrap them and OH will have to play Santa this year, and put up the tree

To raise funds for the Beaver pack that I run we have a stall at the School Christmas Fair and there used to be 2 of us to make stuff, but the other girl has given up. So to avoid getting in a panic I have started making things already. I started in May much to my workmates amusement! But at least I will have stock to sell lol!
