Allotments 4 All

Emaggie --  :o :o

They'll be SO BORED with that in 10 weeks' time or whatever... and imagine the dust on all that fabric and knicknacks ... grim!

Don't know about you, Triffid,but I leave putting them up till a few days before and take them down (all but one ornament) asap after the jollifications!! It all feels rather jaded after the main event. :(

I wonder why some people bother taking their decorations down at all, they might as well keep them up all year.  I shall be making the cake & pud this week but that's it till early December.  PS I've got wallflowers flowering in the garden so Christmas seems a long way off.

Hi Mary Mary,
As I have 6 puddings to make  ??? every year I did 3 last week and am doing the rest this weekend as we have a bank holiday here ;D only 4 days in work next week 8) ;D

Got the fruit soaking in the alcohol as we speak - that's a lot of puds Clond & where are you to be getting a bank holiday this week?  Though I can't complain as I've got the week off  :)

I love Christmas and start my shopping as early as possible - if I see something suitable I buy it and put it in the cupboard - its almost as much a suprise to me as it is to the receiver !  But I don't like decorations etc until December. 

I walked through Homebase today, they've already set up all of their Christmas stuff and the noise drove me bananas.  Our local (posh) garden centre even had santa's grotto set up last week ....

Ooo, talking of bananas - B&Q had their bananas reduced to £2.00 ..
