With the schools reopening this week Buster and I had a simple wager, as to when the first christmas catalogue would come through the door.
And the winner is…… Lakeland. Formally Lakeland Plastics of Windermere.
The big A4 sized envelope dropped through the letterbox straight onto Buster as he slept beneath. He was not happy.
Featuring over 80 pages of gadgets, nick-nacks and gift ideas the Lakeland catalogue is full of those things the humans think they really need.
Mum and dad had a laugh when they turned to the back page and spotted a box full of stuff to make a christmas cake.
Every item came in a pre-measured and numbered packet and was called ‘Baking by Numbers’.
Half the fun is making loads of gloup to fill the bowl and having a bit left over for the indigestion making licks.
The christmas catalogue contains quite a mix of stuff and is possibly not clear with what it needs to achieve.
Chocolates, bird feeders, christmas decorations, a shovel ( yes, really a shovel) jams and knives all feature in what appears to be a land grab for Christmas stocking fillers.
So who will be next? Watch this space…
Until next time
Charlie and Buster
