    Waiting for supervalu to start their Christmas stock.. I get groceries delivered and they are the only big shop. But I was pleasantly impressed at how they have risen to the challenge from the "big 4" and their online shopping website is wonderful. No chance of any of the other shops for me.. did enjoy it last year! ah well! We are so blessed.

    Saw my first Christmas tree over the weekend. It was in Manchester in a Beefeater pub, they had it up to advertise their Christmas parties.
    Got my picture taken with it and all :)

    Some good ones in there, but, you cant have a christmas top ten adverts list without the guinness one, otherwise its null and void!!!

    On a more serious note, dont agree with the order of that list, but some are genuine classics.

    A pro tip for everyone, if you have room on your Virgin Media/Sky boxes, make sure you record a top 40 Christmas songs show on one of the music channels and record a regular show in December, that way you can have Christmas music and ads to rewatch all throughout 2020 :)

    I'll have to delete the 64 episodes of The Pioneer Woman I have recorded so. :pac: She made mini Santa cheesecakes on the one I watched last night.

    Links only.

    You have to right-click on the images, select "copy image location" or whatever the equivalent is for your browser, then click on the little icon that looks like a painting of mountains and a yellow sky, and in the box paste the link you just copied. Make sure you have "https://" only once. Click ok, save, and Bob should be your uncle.
