    Not too sure about everyone's neck of the woods but this week the weather has been glorious all week! Just beautiful.

    Work has been absolutely mental for me lately it's giving me little time to log on and shoot the breeze here with all ye lovely folk, hope everyone is keeping ok :)

    Similar for me. Was working from home one afternoon earlier in the week & managed a quick look but havent been around much due to work being more than a little hectic (in fact life atm is a tad hectic) Though looking at the lack of activity I think we're entering our 'quiet' time of the year here in the Christmas forum.

    Hey all

    Hope you're all keeping well. Man this year is flying through. Work is keeping me busy and the time is flying by. We're almost a QUARTER of the way through the year already. That's unbelievable! :D

    Agreed. I'm torn between wanting permanent summer time so longer evenings in spring and autumn and winter time so can put the Christmas lights on as early as possible!

    Not long left before there's no more clock changing!

    I changed 5 clocks yesterday... 5 more than I ever want to change again!

    Happy 1st Day of April everyone. Good month coming up,

    We've got Game of Thrones returning with it's 8th and Final Season, we've got Easter and we've got Avengers:Endgame for any Marvel fans out there! :)

    Really looking forward to Easter this year, Easter really reminds me of my school days, especially when I'm off for a few days! :)

    Taking 4 days leave for the week after Easter, meaning I get 10 consecutive days off for the loss of just the 4 days leave & I am looking forward to the break immensely. Work has been hectic & non stop since coming back after christmas & I'm struggling with a sinus infection & headcold from hell the last few days that I cant seem to shake... I suspect I need some rest badly.

    As for good things in April, agree re: GoT, & although technically not April, Line of Duty season 5 started last night & will run through April...

    Get well soon DvB. We're going to Paris in July for Euro Disney. Really looking forward to it. We've never been to France before and we're flying out on Bastille Day. :D

    We're into April already! :eek:

    Back after a little break - was very ill & have had the joy of being a guest of the HSE and had three weeks off work :(

    Nearly back to normal now and well enough to be back to work - although two hours in and I'm slightly regretting it :P

    Is it Christmas yet? :pac:

    So glad to hear you're feeling better.

    We're not there yet but we are in the last non-Christmassy quarter of the year :)

    Q3 brings us the brown Thomas Christmas shop and the kids go back to school and Strictly and the likes return bringing us right into Christmas mode! :)

    Also, we've a quarter of the year down now.
    If you want to be really positive they are only 2 more Christmas free months.(May and June) because in July the Argos Autumn/Winter Catalogue is out(Shops may also start stocking coats,etc) and the Selfridges Christmas Shop normally opens in July.
