Cinnamon Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I just got my first Autumn/Winter catalogue through the mail. And Smiths have their 2011 calendars in! M&S have them on their site - the gardening organiser fell into my trolley as it has a fat hen on the front Enjoy the summer while we can - it'll be blasted 'Jingle Bells' playing in the shops before we know it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majuka Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 A couple of weeks ago we were at our pub quiz night and they had a new board up by the door saying 'Now taking Christmas bookings'...................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodcat Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 The back to school deals have already started as well. The poor kids haven't even broken up yet. You'd think they could wait till the end of term before they start reminding them that they have to go back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 We've had christmas bookings signs here for a while. The other week, there was a black christmas tree in Debenhams with cards about some sort of offer decorating it.. I couldn't bear to look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicki9 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 The worst of it is knowing that if you wait until the last week of the hols for uniform most places have almost sold out, but 6 weeks is a lot of growing time in this house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yep - Next directory delivered the other day! Boots start their Xmas stuff earlier each year. Always used to be mid October - but it seems to be beginning in September these days. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Enjoy the summer while we can - it'll be blasted 'Jingle Bells' playing in the shops before we know it In a mere (checks watch)... eleven days! (I take back the dancing. ) There are no cossies in the shops anymore either. Unless your idea of a cossie is very tiny bikini separates in bright green bottoms and neon pink s"Ooops, word censored!"s-o-fabric tops. It's not even holiday month yet!

I know that one-the only ones I found were hilarious. They were from M&S and had frills, very silly! In the end I finally got one, (I'd tried about 13 places and only been able to try on 5!). It was from a very nice shop in Sheringham, where I was holidaying near to last week, a very nice joules halterneck one like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
