ARRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Actually, we quite like the un-dead versions of ourselves, look at that skin-tone - to die for! If you read our 6th birthday top 6 and worst 6, you'll know that SHOP has reawakened our own creative channels and the picture above is courtesy of our own Brett and his beloved 'Paint' (yes, that 90s MS thing!).

We hate to say it, but we are getting closer to the New Year.
However, SHOP has a massive re-vamp (geddit?!) planned for January 2013,
believe us - you won't recognise us! There's gonna be wall tumbling
down and everything...!
That's all in the near future though, for now have a look what's on this month...

CHRISTMAS STEPS, CHRISTMAS LIGHTS FESTIVAL!
29TH NOVEMBER
6PM
According to tradition, SHOP will be clambouring up a wonky looking ladder once again this year to festoon the Christmas Steps with Christmas lights!
To do us proud, the little-uns from St Michael's School will be singing carols, and the bellringers will be ringing the bells, before the grand switch-on!
Mulled wine and mince pies will of course be on tap too.
