	&lt;p&gt;While I was away a friend of mine has been standing in for me and I'm extremely grateful as I've been told he's done a sterling job.

	&lt;p&gt;I'm really looking forward to Christmas now I was surprised how cold it's gotten over the last few weeks here and I had to scrape my car this morning. My cat (Milly) had to put down while I've was away due to being hit by a car. She was fifteen and I really miss her.

You know since I was very young it's seemed to me that we've all been pretty annoyed about the way the shops treat Christmas.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;It isn't even Haloween yet and the shops are beginning to fill with Christmas stock, it's hardly surprising that we're fed up already come December of the "Cheer" that's been rammed down our throats for almost four months.&lt;/p&gt;
