Still 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.

I have found that 500 pixel width is the maximum to avoid scrolling bars. However one problem is that if you post in portrait the 500 is fine for width but you will still get a bit of downward scrolling.

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? tongue-out 

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. smile

Well done you happy band of shoppers! laughing

I know, what a bargain!!  We have just been (daughter and eldest grand-daughter finally arrivedlaughing) 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  kiss  !!

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 yell  !!!

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  surprised  --  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  embarassed  !
