Now seems Easter is getting the Christmas treatment... Shops with Easter lights, wreaths, walked past a house that had a tree in the window festooned with plastic eggs and lights. Easter gifts (other than chocolate). I thought we were all meant to be skint

I seem to remember that even during times of belt-tightening austerity, we like to buy ourselves little treats.

It's the ruling classes, tossing us trickle-down pennies! ? 

Get ready - just been in Costco Birmingham and they already have some Christmas "stuff" out, the disney train thing playing carols won't get boring over next 5 months - but looking at shelves you'd think it was the week before - as place looked like it had been ram raiding - plus someone had played the fun Benetton game of unfold one of every item of clothing.

glad "we" all have no money to waste.

QVC were selling decorations last week. 

I was agog that people could even consider that tat at Christmas never mind before the school summer holidays!
