    Into the 40s in the weekly countdown and won’t be long before we will be in the 330s in the daily one.

    1st March = 299 days... never feels so bad once we get out of the 300's

    This is true! March is a good time of year first bank holiday, longer evenings, nicer weather, Easter coming and then a list of bank holidays on the horizon.

    And then once September hits....

    From the time it's 100/99 days to Christmas, it's a complete blur! Sep - Dec goes faster the month of January.

    I think that's why I try and enjoy Christmassy things all year round- it just goes too fast when it's actually Christmas! :<

    Completely agree. I only get time to appreciate Christmas when it’s not Christmas season.

    I was flicking through movie channels last night and I noticed on the listing that Love Actually was on and I thought brilliant haven't seen this in a few years so clicked it on.
    Didn't cop what time it was so when it came on there was only 5 bloody minutes left!
    Enjoyed the airport scene at the end but couldn't believe how disappointed I was that I couldn't see at least more of it :)

    Was just wondering here, when does the thread Christmas out of season become relevant? Too soon yet?

    Nope not too soon in my opinion we are technically out of season.

    Slight frost and dark this morning feels Christmassy. Not sure why. Maybe it’s the exhaustion because our littlest was up half the night. The last 5-6 Christmas’s have all involved sleep deprivation (this one was better to be fair)!

    Jan 7th is the obvious start, 12 days of Christmas and little Christmas gone... so unless you follow some other calendar its really the end of the season for the majority of people, IMO anyway.

    Having the most deliciously lazy day. After a very rare lie in I took the dogs on a river walk. I’m fireside now watching Pillow Talk.

    I booked my Christmas holidays for this year already :D. Assuming we get nearly everyone vaccinated, both my cousin, his wife and his daughter (who none of us have met yet) will be over from Australia, and my sister and husband will also be visiting next Christmas. So decided to go ahead and book the time off already.

    Still 2 full weeks left in January too... what a rotten month it is at the best of times, but with the added restrictions its just depressing.

    Does anyone else find the Sunday fear is not as bad when you’re working from home?

    I still get the auld Glenroes from time to time. Eating a slice of chocolate cake with a cuppa is my medicine for that ailment!

    Definitely. Getting up isn't any easier though.

    We noticed on our walk yesterday afternoon a couple of apartments out this way with lights on balconies & at least one with their tree still in the window. Fair play to them.
