Black Friday Month

For those of us who think the pumpkins should have been put away at the end of October, and who are thankful mainly that we at least have a brief opportunity to elect a leader without a deranged guinea pig on his head, one of the enduring mysteries is the origin and point of Black Friday. Partly this is because Black Friday appears to have started weeks ago (on a Monday) if some retailers are to be believed and partly because no one knows quite why it’s Black anyway.

So with Christmas fast approaching it is best to be organised and take advantage of the sales extravaganza that is here...after all there are so many stories of people fighting for bargains that there must be something in it...

So taking advantage of Amazon’s fiesta of ‘bargains’ my nearest and dearest are in for a rare treat this festive season. So far I have managed to secure a half price Dremel, a box of Scampi Fries at a 30% discount and 40% off a 3D jigsaw of the Taj Mahal...Santa is an amateur...
