    Everyone's jumping on the bandwagon ! I have had emails not only from shops, but also holiday companies and hotels as well.

    It'll spread to everything soon. I bet next year I'll get a text from my doctor offering me a half price Black Friday invasive prostate exam or something. :#

    I notice companies springing up on ebay etc now selling specialist succulent compost mixes in fancy bags with fancy labels. All 'special blend' loam based and free draining with added nutrients. I expect any gardener can see that they've added perlite to John Innes, stuck it in a paper bag and charge £2+ a litre for it. With postage it costs more than a 25L sack of JI. I'm not mad, I just wish I'd thought of that... :#

    11??  Pah, that's nothing.  Much like Dove, I've been deleting them for days.  Opened my email today to 27 items in the in-box, normally 3 or 4.  All but one were Black Friday carp.

    I’ve just changed my email address, doesn’t send any junk , only stuff I’ve asked for. Getting some from amazon though.

    I've found the best way to deal with sales emails is to use an email address that is only used for buying stuff on-line.  The only time I look at it is when I'm expecting a delivery.  And then I can just bulk-delete all the junk.  
    I have 4 email addresses, each for a different purpose.

    I used to have several email addresses when running a dance club and other activities but now I just have the one which is a basic gmail account but I access and organise mails thru Outlook which, with my spam/virus protection means not a lot of crud gets thru.

    Neighbour spent the day putting up his outdoor Christmas lights. He's getting on a bit, so l can't blame him for making an early start l suppose, but it's not even December yet ! When l look out of the window l can see Father Christmas making his way up the front of the house.*sigh*. At least they are not lit up (yet!).

    Happy Cyber Monday folks - whatever that is. Do you think we have to dress up? Should I have bought some special celebratory food?
