Throughout August we are bombarded with 'back to school' ads imploring us to spend money on clothes, books and stationery despite the fact that we have only actually broken up for the long awaited summer holidays for a week or so.
When we do eventually return to school in September you just know that we will start the annual build up to Christmas which, when it eventually arrives, only appears to actually last for about 24 hours before we are told to go out and spend money in the sales, swiftly followed by thinking about our next summer holiday. Once that is here, we will again be told to think about going back to school. And so it goes on.......
Drives me nuts!
You've spelt "stationery" wrongly.
