I've started thinking about it, roughly 4 months away .... that's too close for comfort when you're busy juggling various things in life.

I start buying now because you can budget better over a longer period.
Through the year i buy in sales, for it, too.

Flying pigs come to mind. Realistically, I can always use garden vouchers of any value. It doesn't matter. What about you Rosie?
