Conclusion
Right that’s it that’ll do, That’s my list of Christmas Light Switch On’s . Looks like I’ve missed a few of the light switch on’s already. Few eager beavers out there, MK and Aylesbury to name a couple of them.
I’m taking the kids to Bicester village tonight. Not to actually shop (cant afford that shit) but i’ll push the boat out and maybe buy them a doughnut and a hot chocolate so we can see their lights. If its not peeing it down again we might even let them play in the play park!
As i mentioned earlier i’ll have probably missed out a fair few. Just let me know on Facebook HERE and I’ll add them to the list
