Hello everyone! I did mean to write something sooner, but quite frankly, the brain does what the brain wants to do. Of late, I wasn't 100% sure it was even there any more. However, I assure you it's all firmly attached, but there never seems to be enough time in a day and my thoughts … Continue reading Mental Vacancies

Retailers Should Really Be Ashamed Of Themselves October hadn’t even ended and the few stores I walked into were full of Christmas trees, decorations, candy, and “special, early shopper prices”.
