Talk About Keen...

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's happened. I think it happened yesterday, but I wasn't really paying attention, so I could be wrong. Not likely, mind you, but you never know...

But today, I went into the shop, and I kept my eyes open. I wanted to be sure, wanted to be completely certain before I announced my discovery. A cure? A missing person? A local celeb? No no, dear reader.

The appearance of the Easter Eggs. As of 2.45pm GMT, our local shop has a stack of eggs, bunnies, mini-eggs, cards and everything else on display all ready for Easter. As of 3pm, Gemma confirmed that a local supermarket ALSO have stocks on display. Now, this isn't much of a surprise, as mentioned earlier in the year when all the Xmas stuff was up and ready in the shops for the first week of September.

But come on, that was three months early. This is 2 days shy of FOUR months early. And it also adds an all-new pressure on me. With Easter (apparently) looming, there is a far more, scary, dread-filled date on the same date. See, Easter this year falls on April 8th. A date in infamy.

The day Jo was spawned. Yes folks, I now have EXTRA reminders, and even LESS chance to ignore forget her birthday!

And, speaking of Jo... She had something done today...

I saw Easter eggs for sale at a shop near my Mum's house about ten days before Christmas.
