****ing beats me like fella. Tempted to embrace the madness and whack mine up this weekend then I can put all of the stuff I've already wrapped for the missus under it which will hopefully drop a huge ****ing hint for her to get her arse in gear and get my pressies sorted Can't really be arsed though tbh.
Three separate properties with lights up spotted while in the east end of Newcastle tonight. One of them was in a flat on the top floor of a block of flats...blue reindeer flashing merrily away. What if the flat's inhabitant suffered an epileptic fit due to the lights and stumbled out of the window to their death? Yikes!
I sacked off going to Cape Verde for winter sun and instead went to New York. Great trip great city. They had their Xmas preparations well under way and the stores were full of the Xmas tat. It all felt way too early! Even a few of the americans were saying, "we don't even get thanksgiving out the way now!" Nobody in my street yet, but I've noted a few in the surrounding estates. There were a couple in Kenton too near where I go to the gym. They are full on ****ing lighting up the neighbourhood types too.
