beekeeping sales

[peteinwilts]

are any of the beek suppliers in the south having christmas\new year sales this year??

Only one I know of is Thornes-on-line.

Thornes starts on 29th December at 9am online.

My plan for the 29th is to get up at around 7am
Shower, Dress, wake the kids up.
Then log onto the Thornes website at around 9am
whilst my wife cooks me breakfast (I can dream )
And eat bacon, egg, fried bread, and tomatoes
whilst looking at the potential bargains to see what I can spend my Christmas money on (should Santa leave me any).

The reality is more like:
Get up
Get dressed (in last nights clothes)
Change the baby
Have a bowl of Cornflakes
Feed the kids
Bath the baby
Get undressed
Shower
Put on some clean clothes.
Hoover
Wash up yesterdays dishes.
Put lunch on
Feed kids
Realise there is a sale on
Check Bank Balance
Find out Santa has spent all my money
So sell all my presents on eBay to raise funds to buy new Bee equipment
(All at vastly inflated prices, thanks to VAT going up)

+ get ripped off with ebay and paypall fees so in the end it costs you to sell you items

M***emore Apiaries have already had their sale - it was about 6-8 weeks ago

Apart from all the epay/paypal costs, hassle etc, and nobody having enough money after Christmas to bid a decent price for them, etc, etc, you then find Thorne has sold out of the items you wanted!!

Then you realise you might just as well have stayed in bed.....

Just ask Father Christmas- if you believe - it will happen - does in my house - Bee stuff only things on my list and he is very understanding!
