Christmas hampers were being advertised on boxing day. Seems we have forgotten what its all about or have I got it wrong and Christmas, Easter,and All Hallows Eve are there only for putting my hand in my pocket for money, plastic etc.?

Hmmm Feel a bit better now.

I once met someone who knew someone who bought a sofa from DFS that wasn't in the sale. I think it was an urban myth though.

Heh, the everlasting DFS sale, remember the Tandy shops. They always had sales on too, just so their prices would be the same as everyone else's

Well I almost cursed out loud last night walking through a certain supermarket which begins with 'S' and ends in 'buries' on my way to clock in for another exciting shift :shock:

They seem to have now replaced most of their sensible clothing with bikinis and summer school dresses. Just unbelievable!!! It may be getting a little darker a little later but come on it's still bloody winter, no doubt by April they will have offers on ski suits!

Susie I reckon that whoever told you that they bought a DFS sofa NOT in a sale was just seeking attention :lol:
