OH NO ITS CHRISTMAS TIME
keithdixon:
The stores make me laugh,
My partner is a manageress of Asda and they are told by asda house that after boxing day every xmas item is to be reduced by 40%
Jan 1st it goes down by 80%
Anything left by feb 1st is reduced to 1p
GREAT, she hides away everything she wants for next Xmas (Cards, wrapping paper, gifts, lights etc) until feb 1st and grabs the lot.
And has the B&%ls to get 10% staff discount!
Total xmas cost £1-00 (Excluding kids expensive electronic habbits)
Does that make us tight?

Everybody (or nearly everbody :twisted: ) is in a good mood
Dark cold evenings lead to better TV
Bank Holidays!
OK, I'm struggling now!

Every evening in December brings drunken revellers from office parties/works do's, as there's usually someone who never has more than a half-pint who's 'off their head'
Then around the dreaded date itself, we get food-poisonings, battery ingestions, cuts from carving knives, brittle plastic toys cutting again, etc........
Spring brings all the gardeners; chest-pains, spade/fork in the foot, lawn-mowered toes, pruned fingers, smoke-inhalation from garden bonfires.
Etc, etc, etc...................... :roll:

No, simply being prudent with your money.
Are you sure you're not really a Yorkshireman?? :wink:
(ie; a Scotsman with the generosity gene removed)
