Camdenpirate, I think Housing Units only exists in Failsworth/Hollinwood so the ad would probably only be shown on our local telly. I know, I remember when there were two shops. *tears up* But, I came over all unneccessary last year when adverts for it came on in Preston. I got all giddy and slap happy. It was quite sad.

I have my fruit marinading in brandy until tomorrow for my Christmas cake. I've used Nigella's recipe and am really quite excited about finishing it off tomorrow.

I've just found that I downloaded Mariah's All I Want For Christmas from Itunes at some point in the last week or two, presumably when wankered unless I've started doing things in my sleep. That bloody sofa advert.

There's a karaoke version on LimeWire that I have absolutely, whatsoever, NOT downloaded today so that I can dance around the kitchen singing my heart out during the Christmas period.

I used to start listening to All I Want For Christmas at around July/August time. Just because it's awesome. I love it so much my eyes actually watered with tears when the little girl in Love Actually sung it. Lame.
In other news, christmas decs are up in the streets of Bromley. I'm all for festivity but really? October 21st?

Excuse me, Argos, making a statement about your adverts being on too early doesn't mean that your advert isn't on too early.

That bloody sofa advert. I started listening to that on my iPod yesterday; it was the start of my worrying descent into the enjoyment of Christmas music far too early in the year.

We have 3 peope from Coronation Street switching on our Christmas lights this year. I didnt think anyone would be doing it considering the fuss that was made about the amount of money spent on getting 2 corrie actors to do it last year. I guess they want to piss everyone off by shelling out for 3 this year. Its always bloody Corrie as well.

BLOODY Corrie?! You don't know you're born.
We'll have someone who works for the council switching our Christmas lights on, well setting the timer anyway. Unless Les Dennis is still kicking around.

Chester (where I work) is having its lights switched on by the Lord Mayor. They couldn't even scrounge up a Hollyoak.

Cardiff had David Tennant and Billie Piper two years ago. Then last year I think it was Glyn sans Imogen.
This year we'll probably have X Factor Sugar Walls woman.

Oldham which is sadly quite close to me, has Chesney. That Chesney. From Coronation Street. I think they got him because they don't have to pay him minimum wage for his appearance.

That fucking Argos advert. I await the Coke and M&S adverts though, the start of Christmas. Woolies surrendered that right years ago when it brought in those fluffy toys.

I suppose that if he did the daily mail readers of oldham would dust off their lit torches from their cupboards that haven't seen the light of day since the riots.

Any sighting of the M&S one yet? That started on November the 1st last year. God, I'm such a loser for remembering that.

I was in M&S earlier looking for a bottle of gin and tonic and wandered into their Christmas selection and it was lovely and festive. I couldn't find the gin and tonic and was going to get their 3 liquer cream bottles (chocolate, coffee and white chocolate I think) but they were £12.99 and I got them for £8 last February, so got some white chocolate and vanilla liquer which was only £5.99.
It's lovely with ice, which I don't have frozen yet, but I'm not going to drink it out of the bottle, yet.

Once bonfire night is over, I start feeling festive, but it's not properly Christmas until I hear "hooolidays are comin', hooolidays are comin'".
So anyway, I found it on YouTube. Someone crack open the Baileys and Quality Street, please!

Morrisons have Lulu and all their other "celebrities" in their Xmas ad, sadly I quite like it. ASDAS advert on the other hand is shite.

Lulu's really fallen off the cholesterol wagon, hasn't she? Lusting after big cakes and the like.

Well what with Carol Voderman-Media prostitute, abandoning Benecol for Farmfoods, and her not having a gig since Top Model, she had to pay the mortgage somehow.

If a close friend or relative is at a loss for what to get you this year, why not suggest this: What is it, I hear you ask. Why, it's cushion slash tv blanket with inbuilt remote control holder and a bit to keep your feet warm and it comes in a classic midnight blue colour. And for the alcohol fuelled nights in, why not ask for a giant remote control with massive buttons. You'd be hard pressed to get the wrong channel with this big boy. And it's the perfect accessory to pop in your cushion slash tv blanket's pocket. I expect Mavis has already bought these.
