Went into Debs in Blackburn today Sunny, Xmas décor was going up.

Deep Joy - 10 weeks of Slade ...

[ummmm]

Don't they sell them all year round just minus the bells and holly on the packaging.

[TWR]

How are you Ummmm? I see from a few posts you have been unwell. Take care.

[Baldric]

Bah Humbug!!!

Ruddy 'eck! Is it mid-November already then? How come I didn't notice? (Or does Dave get VIP privileges in Aldi?)

[anneasquith]

Stop it Dave, its October .

[sunny-dave]

The Cognac ones were there today, Chris - I know 'cos I is eating one now :)

I hadn't spotted the precise release date for the Sloe Gin variety - the waiting will be hell ...

[Islay]

yaaaaay

[gness]

Oooo...bliss....I love all the blingy Christmas packaging.....and those Sloe Gin Mince Pies look delicious.....

Buy a few each week to put buy for Christmas......then the devil makes me eat them in November..... ;-)

[TWR]

He's on their Xmas card list Chico.

[sunny-dave]

The best before date on today's MPs is 23rd November - I doubt they'll make Sunday :)

[Buenchico]

Anyway, Christmas started weeks ago.

The True Movies TV channel started broadcasting almost non-stop Christmas movies from 3pm on September 25th!

[sunny-dave]

... and I got some of their excellent Ginger Wine - just right for making toddies to sip whilst toasting my nuts by the fire ...

[Buenchico]

TWR:
I thought that the only ABer on any supermarket's Christmas list was Mikey444, who's surely on commission from Lidl ;-)

[gness]

And I'm making Christmas cards, Chris.....with the wallpaper samples I took to mull over..... ;-)

[Buenchico]

'Mull' is what you should do with wine at Christmas, not with wallpaper!

[ummmm]

Thanks TWR...I'm getting there :-)

I'll add though...I don't eat mince pies..

[gness]

I used to take two slow cookers into school during the last week of term before Christmas to mull wine for break time, Chris.....just to keep the staff happy and calm........ :-)
