The young woman in Boots wearing a red jumper with: 'Merry Christmas, Ya Filthy Animal' in large letters was also wearing a small badge saying she was the Shop Manager ...

I had an outfit like that too Galen, when I was about 8 or 9.
It also had a beautifully embroidered headband with straw plaits attached, the tops of which scratched my ears so I refused to wear the headband.

I called it my 'Heidi' outfit.
I wish I'd kept it, but I expect DM gave it away to someone.

You look very glamorous in the dresses in the photos!

Came back from 2 weeks away to find answerphone message. Not from Boots, who have only sent a 'your communication has been received' automatic reply. From 'Claire at Boots'!!! They must have passed her my landline number, really??!! Collapse of stout party ...

Just ironed my Xmas jumper. Will carry on wearing it into the Spring. Penguins are for Winter not just for Xmas. smile

I thought yours had snowmen on it, jingl...confused

Oh! I ironed it inside out, and haven't worn it since Xmas Eve. Yes. You are definitely right!

It's DD who's got a penguin one. hmm

(Still gonna wear it some more though) grin

Well, if it snows it'll be very appropriate! grin

We may have to wait a while for snow, this mild Winter, so put all cosy knitwear away until August, when we will very likely have the coldest Summer on record.?

Just noticed that my post of 13:34:00 is 'Quote of the week' on the Homepage. It's a shame I haven't actually got a penguins jumper! grin

My little grand daughter was given a Christmas jumper; on Christmas Day. It will not fit her next year. What were they thinking?

Colder weather is forecast for next week so you may have to get all you warm jumpers out again then roses.
