First of all, Radio 2 keep playing 'Perfect' by Ed Sheeran and Beyonce (I don't like Beyonce!) and then BBC keep showing their Christmas ad which is better than either John Lewis's or Sainsbury's! I just can't cope!!

My DGS will be a shepherd, so no chance of falling heads, although the teatowel may come loose, or he may drop the toy lamb.

Christalbee "Think it's a bit stupid. Where's the Mum. Didn't move me at all."

Not all single parent families are mums with children. And not all families have a mum.

I thought it was a lovely advert, but the Dancing on Ice is totally my favourite.

I think all the big stores' adverts are a poor show this year. Of all the supermarkets, I do like Aldi with their Kevin and Katie carrots (and their offspring are arriving in stores next week, I hear)

The link was blocked for me as I'm outsode the UK but I found it on Youtube. It brought tears to my eyes even though I had the sound turned off. Will now look for the polar bear. I'm happy to be called soppy.

I clicked the link but was told to “sign in” before watching it, presumably to make me swear on the Bible that I possess a TV licence, which I don’t.
