    Elf2 asked again about putting the decorations up this morning in the car. Told him he can help me get them out of the attic this weekend. Seemed happy with that :)

    WFH yesterday followed by a mid wife appointment I didn't get a chance to get on here really, OMG 5 weeks today Christmas Eve, 3 out of the 5 weeks I have appointments, I hope time doesn't go by too quick

    Off today got some decorations down from the attic, window decorations up, overmantle garland up and lit, both halls decorated, just need to do the kitchen garland over my presses, waiting for the coast to be clear, my OH might give out at me standing on top of kitchen presses decorating :)

    Hopefully Saturday we will get the tree and decorations down, I get the Christmas tunes on then

    Jesus the virus has really hit production this year

    The Xmas jumper i ordered in October is out of stock and they wont get any in til the week starting 30th Nov. More under pressure cause my nephews present is in the same order. I remain hopeful

    The tech sector is also fairly fecked regarding production numbers. Don't have to say anything about PS5 shortages

    Holland and Barrett do one but it's sold out online.

    Apparently the Aero one is suitable too.

    The PS5 has nothing to do with COVID the same thing happened with the PS4 and PS3 upon release. Sony claim it’s like that as they rush the release in time for
    Holidays but in reality it’s a marketing ploy.

    You create a shortage and you automatically create a buzz and a demand for it.

    Snow Waltz came on the radio this morning and I did a little solo around the kitchen. Who said Strictly Come Dancing was on a Saturday :)

    I heard them talking about that on the radio yesterday. I think they are just going to edit out the F****** word. BBC 2 will play the unedited version. I'm not sure what the difference between the two stations is.

    It'll be only a matter before ChristmasFM follow suit. Like they did with Baby it's cold outside.

    BBC2 is more alternative and has less listeners by alot. BBC1 is their pop music channel as such.
