Posted on 22/12/2016 00:14 by DSBStill not really sorted the photo thing properly. It comes up too big when I click on it. I need to spend a bit more time in the New Year working out the best size for photos.

There appears a veggie war on this year.
The usual hoarding ahead of the forthcoming war is evident in most supermarkets, it is only 1 day the shops are shut, isn't it?
Iceland were doing brussels stalks for 50p on Tuesday. Tesco had cauliflowers, cabbages and broccoli for 37p. Sainsbugs had bags of veggies for 40p yesterday. Will get the forgotten bits tomorrow.
If they can do it for a few days before Xmas, why not every day?

I think I deserve a medal, I have been to Waitrose three times this week and I don't even work there!!! Monday wine and beer, Tuesday normal shopping and today the turkey and remaining Christmas bits. Unusually for us we were there just after 9.00am so not too crowded. Fortunately the turkey fits in the oven, just about!!! Its now back in the motorhome fridge until its time to cook it. I think there is so much food in the motorhome I could start a mobile shop business!!!

Just about finished with the hoovering, that's it then, will send OH out for some local pheasants etc from the butcher tomorrow, no turkey to cook. Someone else will be doing it this year but family will be eating here Christmas Eve.
Well done you happy band of shoppers!

I know, what a bargain!! We have just been (daughter and eldest grand-daughter finally arrived) Aldi have got some really lovely Christmas food. We are now all stocked up....I hope.
Bakers, as I know you are still lurking I will take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very Happy Christmas and New Year. Let's hope 2017 is more peaceful and joyful than this year.
I do hope that everyone who is feeling poorly feels better soon.

Certainly much, much better MillieH !
Not sure if it's due to everybodies good wishes but
I'll put it down to them anyway !!
The only coughing attack came when Aged Sister's
cat decided he would be much more comfortable if
he could just move that bunch of keys out of the way
a touch !!!
Still the Delivery Run was completed & all gifts are
at sister's house, in which place we will gather on
Saturday for a "Greeting, Grabbing, Thanking &
Quick Departing Session"
The next time we will all meet up is on New Year's
Day when my Niece, daft 'apporth that she is,
does the Open House trick -- how she gets so
many argumentative berks in one place at one time
without starting WW3 is totally beyond me !
But Christmas themed woolly pully's will be worn --
the sole concession to formality !
