Dear Advertisers, It’s not Christmas yet!

I couldn’t believe my ears earlier tonight while watching the X Factor, I was looking at my computer but I heard a Christmas song blasting out at me….’All I want for Christmas, is yooooou’ — It can’t be, can it? A Christmas advert in October?

So I look at the TV and sure enough, there’s DFS trying to sell us sofas just in time for Christmas. Jeez.

Now I am no scrooge, Christmas is my favourite holiday…but did I mention, it’s still October, Christmas is a whole two months away. We have Halloween and Bonfire night to get through first.

Come December, when Christmas is allowed to start in my opinion, I will be bored to tears of it.

There’s such a thing as overkill you know?

Please save the Christmas stuff for Christmas dear advertisers, please!.

Dead Set for Halloween

Have you heard about Dead Set?
It has Davina McCall in it as well as some well known ex Big Brother UK housemates — the basic gist is that out in the real world people have begun to rise from the dead and go on a killing rampage, your basic Zombie tale, only those inside the Big Brother house are unaware of the horror that is going on outside. It sounds freaking awesome, aside from the tie in to Big Brother which is always going to score points with me, it just seems like the sort of perfect Halloween night viewing I enjoy.

I am actually going to a Halloween party the night it airs, my fiances boss is throwing it and I am semi helping him plan it…I say semi because he has it all basically down pat, he runs a catering business so already knows how to throw a bash…but I am chipping in with ideas and design tips and the like, as I am known as ‘The creative one’ in our circle. To be honest I’d be totally lost without sites like Celebrations.com to help me out, but shhhh, don’t tell my friends that. You can get expert advice and tips, share ideas with the rest of the community and even get information about what the celebrities have been getting up to at their soirees! I love their idea to paint pumpkins rather than carve them, that will save a whole world of time and effort :)

I am so telling him about that and to put Dead Set on the big telly next time I speak to him :)
