Christmas shopping

[glenshena]

Today I did my last supermarket shopping before Christmas. My trolley was full to the brim! I knew I had exagerated when the man behind me at the cash desk said ' madam I feel sorry for your trolley!'

You are so organised glenshena-and you must have a big fridge .. I like to buy the meat as close to Xmas as possible.I know somebody who goes about the big supermarkets about an hour before closing time on Xmas eve and gets a lot of fresh meat at half price as the shop reduces the price

Merry Xmas

I'm a man for all seasons Brian . I'm only allowed wine noo and again as I tend to forget it has alcohol in it and swally it like ginger.

Well I had twelve bottles of mineral water underneath. It wasn't all food and wine. I ordered the turkey and hor's d'ouvres to be picked up on Monday. I don't buy much meat. We used to go out to a Hotel for lunch at Christmas, but now the grandchildren prefer to stay at home and play with their toys. Their excitement is contageous. It's a great time of year. Am I imagining things or do I see the shops busier than other years?

It's possible glenshena . Maybe some folks are doing the shop earlier to avoid the mad rush you get in the shops a day or 2 before the big day.
