Goodness me - what rotten cold and miserable weather! Whatever happened to deep and crisp and even? Not sure how well the three wise men would fare in this onlaught!

Thankfully, rotten weather is the perfect excuse for snuggling up in your warm, woolly jumper and sitting round the fire roasting the proverbial chesnuts!

If you want to keep nice and warm this Christmas in Guildford, why not visit the Alan Paine Outlet Store in Godalming - they have over 8000 sweaters in stock, all at factory outlet prices. Top quality stuff too. www.ap-outlet.co.uk

And if you're linked to the BestOfGuildford, you even get a £10 voucher - check it out online - provided you spend at least £20. Can't be bad. Great one-stop Christmas present shopping too!
