Why?
 

What makes you short tempered in the run up to Christmas, or are you one of those people who are full of the festive spirit?

Ive been short tempered this year...daughter is after another toy......im sure i did'nt go on and on and on and on and on and on and on when i was a kid.....

I have been out around the county today and the festive season is taking a grip....the number of santas,lights and tree's decorating the outside's of the houses is amazing.....best one so far is a local house, take a look up Green Howarth, turn left at the Shoulder and 500yds on yer right....this house has been the best in the borough for the last few years, must cost em a bomb for the lights neve mind the lekky.....If anyone drives up there don't even think about stopping for a better look....too dangerous...no place to pull over without causing an accident.

Do not be too sure about that Blues Master.This year i will not be making the mistake of getting all the Xmas Pressies in November.Going to start getting them all in the sales during the year.I reckon that i can make hell of a saving.This way i can keep all of my Xmas bonus 60% of wage for me.Well at least i get summat out of Xmas

I have bought all my xmas cards in the half price sale, got enough for the next couple of years. Unless i find a lot more friends between now and xmas.

if you are anything like me Janet, you save money buying cards in the sale, but come next Christmas, you can't remember where you put them for safe keeping.

:jump3: I always get my cards, wrapping paper and tags in the sales, and more surprisingly remember where I put them. Nothing gets me stressed about Christmas, because I always work it. Hence, never have to cook the dinner, buy loads of food, entertain etc. The only thing that bugs me a bit is not being able to get off Asda car park, as everybody goes mad, and they are only shut for 2 days. Went inbetween Xmas and New Year (just doing my normal shop) and it took me 20mins to get off the car park.

You should have put some petrol in your car & then you would'nt have had to push it..

:lol: It would've actually been quicker for me to walk to Asda, but I'm too bone idle to carry the bags home.

No Asda for me it's Tesco Online, it saved loads of hassle this year and money.

Are you telling me they delivered everything you ordered, nothing missing and no substitutions?
My Christmas order had a full container missing and they had no cooked meat I had ordered. The one for New Year had six items not in stock and three items missing. After that I decided to give them a miss in future, you pay for the phone call to tell them what is missing and they keep you hanging on while they contact the delivery van.

My Christmas order had 2 substitutions, diet lemonade for normal and 100w light bulbs for 60w, this is about normal I have found and it wasn't a problem. The only time I've had to ring them was when a tub of cream was open and spilled on a few items, the call was quick and I wasn't charged for any items in the bag where the cream spilled even items that where ok.
