Steve Allen's Little Bit Extra.

Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today, Thursday, the 8th of October.

Yes, it is true. I bought a Christmas tree.

Obviously not a real Christmas tree.

But do you remember one I was telling you about on QVC?

And stupidly, when I was watching it in the early hours of the morning, it said, oh, we've only

got 40 left in stock.

And I thought, well, nobody's going to be buying a Christmas treat this time of the morning.

How wrong was I?

They sold out.

And so I'm not linked to QVC.

And so my friend Lynn, she orders all the time.

And so she said, you can reserve one for delivery

on the second of November I think and I went oh right can I can I just do she said well you have to join

it doesn't cost anything to join so yesterday we went through this palava of sort of signing up with

your email address and bits and pieces and then putting in a

credit card or debit card, whichever one it was, I can't remember. And so I'm now the proud

possessor of a Christmas tree which will be delivered on the second of November. This is the one

which is six feet tall. It comes in two bits. You just drop the top bit in. You don't have to

wire it up or anything. It's already pre-lit. And it's, um,

it does 116 different functions on the lighting. You've got to control with, 100,000, I'm 116. Mainly it's about five, isn't it, or something like that? Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. So I can't wait to see it and then take a picture of it and then you can all get very excited, very excited. Brooklyn Beckham supports his fiancée Nicola Peltz.
