If I were still having periods I'd say I was pre-menstrual. As it is I don't have an excuse for wanting to kill people.
Not a good state to be in when going to Sainsburys.
So when the man came over the tannoy saying, 'Hot Cross Buns, freshly made in our bakery today. Buy one pack, get another free. Why not treat yourself today?' I replied, 'Because it's not sodding Easter.'
It wasn't until a nearby shopper turned and stared at me that I realised I'd said it aloud.

I find it annoying when clothes stores immediately dump the knitwear for t-shirts, swimswear and bright summer colours at the start of January. Brrr... the weather is probably at its coldest now too.
I need to get fleeces for the boys - all I can find is T-shirts :0(
wrt pmt, I should spend a week in a shed really, I'm quite scatty naturally but loads worse at *that* time... I have left taps on... left things under the grill... forgotten where I parked the car.... I also get very ranty usually at O.H!! Oh and chocolate I *HAVE* to have chocolate...
Hot cross buns i January? They've got to be kidding. You can't have hot cross buns till after Ash Wednesday. (My Nana used to make them every lent.)
Next thing you know they'll be pushing candy corn in April.
I know exactly how you feel. I popped into Tesco on December 27th, to be greeted by Cadbury's Creme Eggs, Mini Eggs and chocolate Easter bunnies. Easter is months away, for pity's sake.
Haha Liz.. I bet he or she was only shocked because you had said what they were thinking too. I had my first and only cream egg of 2009 on Friday.
maybe you could wear a PMT badge, Liz and a little caption underneath: "Don't mess with me." :)
It will be the easter next!!!
It is very cold at the moment, darwen reporter. And welcome! Thanks for dropping by.
I looked for on-sale chocolate at sainsburys yesterday but fortunately for my diet - unfortunately for my sanity - they didn't have any, hippy mama.
There was a lady offering samples just at the entrance and when she saw my amazed look she shrugged, katney.
It's just silly, isn't it, Siani?
you see jams it's people like you ...!!
you can get those badges, james, depicting women with machine-guns.
Time just disappears, cherrypie.
Good for you - it needed saying aloud.
I totally agree but must say I haven't seen Easter stuff quite yet - they're still pushing the unsold Christmas stock at half price.
Well no doubt next week I'll be able to pick up the easter eggs with the weekly shop, although I might just drop them as I slip over due to there being snow on the ground!!!! Then in May they'll start early Christmas promotions in a desparate attempt at more purchases...
Excellent! A woman after my own heart!
I hate how commercialism and greed have devalued our festivals, and taken the special nature away from them. When I was a kid, nobody made hot cross buns until the week of Easter, and they were traditionally eaten on Good Friday. Quite apart from the religious significance (how many people even stop to think about that cross on the top anymore?) they were part of the taste of Easter!
Gah! Humbug.
