(in M&S today) it's all creeping in! (which is good)
Ooooh, I MISSED those! :eek: I was very tempted to bring one box of pies ... just to see how they tasted, like, for research purposes!

Also noticed a lot of 'best of' album ads on TV - John Barrowman, Beatles, etc
These are always advertised for the Christmas market.
Bring it on!!
(the ads I mean, not necessarily the dodgy albums*)
*Beatles not included, of course0 -
OK guys n' gals, you've pushed me over the edge! I'm off to make Mince Pies.Ooooh, I MISSED those! :eek: I was very tempted to bring one box of pies ... just to see how they tasted, like, for research purposes!
ps - Tesco have tins of sweets on BOGOF at the moment - two for 12.49. I begged & pleaded with my o/h to let me purchase on Sunday night and ws met with much eye-rolling and tutting. When I put forward the "we can have them for Christmas!" arguement I just got a flat out "No!"0 -

Ah, now, you know the put-them-away-for-christmas theory doesn't work! But I might have to check out tesco just to have a look see

I can't understand Tesco's logic with their BOGOF "Offers"!
Those Tins of sweets that are BOGOF now @ 12.49 were priced @ 4.00euro each last November when they were competing with Supervalu and Dunnes with their similar "competitive" price offers.
I know this for a fact as I bought 3 tins last year and it came to 12.00 in total.
Just a heads up just incase anyone is thinking of stocking up for Christmas now, I would wait until they are at a better price. 0 -

I seen them the other day and thought "Those tins were NOT €12.49 when I got them last Christmas- bold tesco!"Coupon King wrote: »I can't understand Tesco's logic with their BOGOF "Offers"!

I do the same with the Afternoon Tea tins. We only ever have these at Christmas (mad price at other times :eek: ) and I wait until November time until the price wars start. Dunnes brought them down to 8.99e (something like that) and I was like 'Yes! buy, buy, buy!' So, yeah, it's worth hanging on for a bit.0 -

Tried a mince pie in M&S today, girl serving them was laughing with me, saying she'd eat them any time of year
They had their wrapping paper and cards out already.
Inspiring Ideas (craft type shop) had a small Christmas section with boxes and santas (tempted but far too expensive).
My mother said yesterday they had baubles in some shop and she heard a small child say to his mother 'is it Christmas tomorrow?' pointing at them lol0 -

Was in TK Maxx and they had a tiny section with Christmas cards (gorgeous illustrations), some glass baubles and really expensive Advent calenders (the wooden box type - the little boxes had ceramic decorations).
I got my pet rabbit a red teddy bear - I think it was a Christmas decoration!
I can't believe Glade has those candles! I remember I started the "Seeing Christmas out of Season" thread while still seeing those ads on TV! It doesnt seem so long ago now 0 -

Not exactly what you're looking for, but this is a lovely US ad. Much more exotic that what we're used to!

bobblehead, it's your money! I think you need to make trip on your own to M&S. It's your duty to get those candles!!0 -

Brought the kids their advent calendars yesterday! I'm screwed for a bit of peace now they've seen them but I love it!
To be honest, I'm finding it very difficult not to buy all the cheap tacky christmas things they have in the poundshops at the moment. Just desperate for the festivities to start!:D
Well, finally gave in and bought 3 tins of sweets for Christmas in tesco, BUT THEY ARE DEFO FOR CHRISTMAS ... (will see how long they last until they get opened when people are looking for "something nice to go with the tea"
) 0 -

I'm not shopping in tesco anymore because of the jobBridge intern scandal, so I'm hoping dunnes get the finger out with their xmas stuff soon, to give me a burst of xmas joy!
