Bloody Sara Cox caught me! Annoyingly I'd only switched over from 5 live for Jo Whiley at 7 and caught the last seconds of Sara and Wham!

frankie001 · 01/12/2021 19:52

Nope, not yet! Last year I didn’t even get 6 hours in so I’m already winning as far as I’m concerned!

Nearlytheretrees · 01/12/2021 19:57

I made to 1pmGrin

JackieCollinshasnoauthority · 01/12/2021 19:58

My husband plays and chastised me for leaving the car radio on radio 2. He got a blast of driving home for Christmas but it could have easily been Wham. That's me told. Grin

Don't listen to the radio! Rookie mistake.

tigger1001 · 01/12/2021 20:02

Am surprised I didn't hear it today!

Vanillaradio · 01/12/2021 20:10

Yep. Got into dh's car who was giving me a lift back from the shops and it was on the radio!Grin

FiveGs · 01/12/2021 20:41

What's Whamageddon?

Charlieandlola · 01/12/2021 20:42

Drive time on while I was waiting in a garage for my car tonight got me with it , Mariah Carey and the bloody Adele dong I’ve managed to avoid until today

PawPrintsInMyPansies · 01/12/2021 20:43

Took DD to school this morning and didn’t realise she’d changed the radio to Magic. We were Whamageddon-ed about 8.30 am!

FasterthanBolt · 01/12/2021 20:44

I'm still in Grin and that's even with the radio on all day at work!

WitchSharkadder · 01/12/2021 20:46

I am still in by the skin of my teeth. DH had the radio on when I arrived home and I heard 'Wham coming up after The Pogues' so turned it off.

And then banned DH from having the radio on while wfh.

School playground at drop off! They had ice skating, reindeer, other games, hot drinks and blasting Christmas music (all day event, each class had there turn then open to families after school)

GTAlogic · 01/12/2021 20:47

I'm still in but I work in schools and they always seem to have Wham's Last Christmas as one of their Xmas performance songs so I never last long!

JorisBonson · 01/12/2021 20:50

My mate at 8am. I am determined to make it through this year - last year I made it to the 20th.

mbosnz · 01/12/2021 20:50

Hehe, I whamageddoned DH today. . . okay, myself as well, but it was worth it!!

Zoe Ball played it at 7:20 this morning too. She did a big claxon for it. I wasn't playing anyway, but I was out then if I was.

CHEM20 · 01/12/2021 20:51

8.30am. FFS.

Samanabanana · 01/12/2021 20:54

Not yet but surely it's only a matter of time

MrsTerryPratchett · 01/12/2021 20:55

Very nearly. I just remembered today as the 1st and swerved a certain radio station.

I've fucking heard Mariah though already.

ratspeaker · 01/12/2021 20:56

According to my pal TikTok have it on adverts and catch you unawares.*
She was out before lunchime

  • I've not gone on to check and I'm keeping all links she sends on silent.

Last year DH was doing really well, so I sabotaged him by making Alexa play it in the living room while I was in the bedroom.

He hasn't forgiven me yet.

He hid from Sara Cox's half hour of Christmas songs this evening by coming upstairs and falling asleep.

Doublevodka · 01/12/2021 20:56

It’s a bloody good Christmas song to be fair though!

Disname · 01/12/2021 20:57

I’m still in

Refused to even go in costa as I could hear the Xmas tunes. I’m making it this year!
