Post 1000.

Now off to do some Christmas shopping (ok now off to start my Christmas shopping!)

Well, I hope you find anything left in the shops! I had quite a depressing time this afternoon looking for my last few presents.

Newbury has been virtually cleaned out of gifts worth buying, with a week still to go. All the Christmas wrap, mincemeat, tree lights etc are on special offer already in Tesco and Sainsbury's, ensuring that there'll be little left for those who like to shop in the last week before Christmas. No chocolate coins, tree chocolates, etc, etc. My husband went to get a real tree last weekend from a Cut Your Own place, and all the ones the height we wanted had gone.

People seem to be starting Christmas so early now that if you try to be a bit more traditional you find you've lost out. Grump, grump... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The more I say or think about the word "finger", the more ridiculous it sounds/seems... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
Yes! Like ointment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I thought our cat was white, but against the snow in the garden he actually looks very grubby... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Why are my favourite clarniet reeds so much more expensive than the other ones I use? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I know the feeling, Flossie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) When I'm low on money, I'm pretty much forced to get the crappy £7 reeds for my oboe, when the ones I REALLY want, are the £18 ones (and that's just for ONE reed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)). Society has gone crazy.

If in straightened times you need something better than a crappy £7 reed (I'm amazed you can still get one for that little) but not as expensive as your good ones, Fortay do a good range. http://www.fortayreeds.co.uk/products.htm

I generally use the Blue at £15 but was previously using the Academy, which at £12 is very good value and sounds fine.

I'm upset. I went to get a tree (from homebase) last night and they were out of them. They had LOADS on monday(was carrying shopping so could not pur-chase one then). I've obviously left it too late. Anyone know where I get one from the internet? Delivered tomorrow morning? By a fireman? Hmmmmmm, I see a gap in the market there.....

Yes I used the Blue Fortay reeds for my grade 8, but the problem I find with those is that you don't really get much time out of them... The cheap £7 I just use for practising at home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I would never be caught out in public with one of them! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) It's better having cheap reeds for practise than none at all, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
