In a way I did celebrate it. Last November 5th I took my car to the dealer for its first 6-month service and checkup.
With free coffee from the car dealer.

Not been pedantic here but it is actually called Bonfire night or at least it has always been called Bonfire night in my lifetime. I guess it could be one of the earliest national celebrations of the defeat of terrorism. For a proper celebrator bonfire, it must have a guy (Guy Fawkes) on top. When I was a child the guy would be made by the village children a few days before and taken around the village to collect donations. You would say "penny for the guy" although you expected to get more than a penny, inflation you know. The money collected then paid for the fireworks and made the village bonfire a free event for all. Unlike today.bound_jenny wrote:That would be November 5th.Shannon SteelSlave wrote:Guy Fawkes day

My weakness was always shoes! I have given so much away to charity collections in a desperate attempt to declutter my house but then I just buy morebound_jenny wrote:I'm avoiding big box stores like the plague.
If I want something at a discount, I watch the flyers (the ones the people who don't care how much they spend want to ban), any time of the year. Patience is a virtue. I do have a sort of guardian angel that makes sure any small household appliances go kaput only when a suitable or better replacement is on sale).
If I really, really, really want something, I'll buy it (nice boots or shoes are kryptonite to me... especially boots... ).
