Darn - I just spotted those dates for the Market - and realise that I'll miss it to, which is a major disappointment as I'm going as late in December as I can - I'll miss the market by 2 days.   Is it me, or does the market appear to get later and later each year - give it two more years and it won't start until January 1st!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

[Clarebelle]

I'm hoping its a mistake :wink: and I am too sure its getting later each year!

(I'm lucky enough to get the 7-11th off at work so I suppose I should be happy with that but I'm not ... I'm EXTATIC!!!!!
