Am I the only one who hates Christmas?

Can't understand these people who leave it all to the last minute. Are they stupid or just got short memories? Unfortunatly it's not that simple, at least not this year as milk(even uht), bread etc.and even petrol/diesel have been very hard to get due to the snow, so we have had to take any opportunity to get these items. The day I was trapped in the Tesco car park I was getting these articles as we were simply desperate for petrol. Our shopping does not alter for Christmas otherwise I WOULD do it early, but yes I take your point. Baz As Harold Macmillan said "Events dear boy, events!" Perhaps it should have been "Planning for events dear boy etc." It's not as if it's unexpected :-)) Regardless - I hope you and yours have an enjoyable holiday; have a great break and a peaceful and healthy New Year. Thanks for the history lesson:-) Not everyone has a horse and cart or public transport, and even if they did, on our frozen roads recently how would they get a-b. It could be that Mr Macmillan did not know how to store petrol legally in this century, or at least forgot to let you know. http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/k...40NEW%20nov07% 20petrolhome.pdf Mr Macmillan would be proud of me for planing ahead with my legal storage of petrol. After that, yes, I should have bought an extra freezer which I can't afford and put it in a place I havn't room for and put in it some panic buys that I havn't got the petrol to go and buy Norman Tebbit once said "on your bike"(only joking) Without going on too much about this, my family often live hand to mouth, we don't earn too much though we have to have 2 cars for our jobs and have put all our investement into the house. We have given up loads of our passions just to keep up with the increasing cost of paying for the flaming place. It was easy at first and we were paying it off as fast as we could and just as well we did too. Baz |
