I marched into my office the other day and reminded people that the days have started getting shorter! :)

I used to do that every year because my birthday is the 24th of June. I suspect I was quite an annoying child. I don’t do it every year now…just most years.

Snap birthday twin! Hope you had a good day yesterday Smile

Lifeomars · 25/06/2026 17:06

I am now starting my annual Christmas denial countdown, I dislike it a little more each year so always pretend it isn't going to happen and then have to face its inevitable arrival

Has Tesco got wrapping paper in yet? 🫣

YourWildAmberSloth · 25/06/2026 17:16

Only one month to QVC Christmas in July (yay).

I saw a Christmas Market advert on Instagram today.

Only a few short weeks until the shops have “back to school” and Halloween stuff in the shops, followed smartly by Christmas cards. A charity shop volunteer told me that unless they have Christmas cards for sale in August, they lose sales

BlackCat14 · 25/06/2026 17:37

Yep, Happy Junemas for yesterday, everyone!!! 🎄

I think it's a joke/light-hearted. The other day was The Longest Day, so technically from now they'll get marginally shorter until we reach The Shortest Day.

No wonder we are getting through so many Prime Ministers, life just seems to be lived at such an accelerated pace!
