to be blubbing at the Boots ad?

[siblingrevelry]

....the one with the teenage hoody you think at first is a wrong'un, but is actually leaving gifts ("because even though your eyebrows terrify me, you did help me get that B in maths").

I'm not pregnant or hormonal (although in my defence I'm a mother of sons -maybe that's it?).

I think it's just the emotion and excitement of xmas. Pathetic really!

I know which advert you mean and although I like it, it doesn't make me blub - and I'm pregnant and hormonal, lol

The advert is lovely and the music (aaah, Bronski Beat is from my yoof )

But
But

I got a promotion letter from Boots and there's the photo of the boy hugging someone (? his mum)

And the boy is the DOUBLE of my DS

YABU. I can't stand it.

I miss the 'here come the girls' boots ads.

I did too

In my defense, I had to search for the Christmas adverts on you tube because I live in Australia, so I'd watched a few all together in a row. And got a little homesick to be separated from my family over Christmas, and not having a cold Christmas. Hot sunny Christmases take some getting used to.

the smalltown boy song doesn't really go does it?

Would love a hot sunny Christmas! (but that's by the by... Haven't seen the ad, will look on YouTube!)

perfect song- it's about being misunderstood

suppose so

It made me think "aaah, lovely" the first time, but then I saw it again 3 times in the next hour. Bored of it already.

Have ASDA's ads been aired, yet? Do you think they're laying low after last year's reaction?

Oh my god! "because you looked after my nan!"

(pregnant and very hormonal)

Ah i love that ad!! did bring a tear to my eye! I turned to DH and said isn't that lovely, he just looked at me like i was insane! My favorite advert this christmas so far! :)

ouryve What was the Asda one?

The Asda one was the Mum doing everything while the rest of the family sat on their bums.....and she smiled as she went to fetch a turkey sandwich for her DH
"What's for tea , love"

or something

ah i love it! YANBU!!

I just watched the ASDA advert on YouTube

Did they get lots of complaints about its blatant sexism then?? [smole]
