Quick Xmas Sales update

Boots - Boxing Day (our store 8.30am)

Tesco - Boxing Day (guessing more stores be the same, thou from memory Morrisons closed Boxing Day last yr).

So I'm guessing, its business as usual, whether any Online sales start earlier, not sure x

Planning to make a casserole too for Christmas Eve to reheat so is nice and easy instead of stressing and then all is done

Great Idea, didn't think to do that, always rushing round on christmas eve putting finishing touches to everything and OH always starving and I never feel like eating when he does, so this will mean we can all eat when we want.

Off sleding when the kids get home in an hour, managed to get a load of jobs and shopping done yesterday so only have to go get my fresh stuff wednesday next week so really pleased I can put my feet up and enjoy. Found out on friday that the kids are still in school on monday so I might just have to go and see if there are any last minute bargins to be had.


Sale update:

Sainsburys had knocked Xmas tree's, paper and dec's down by about 25% when I was in yesterday

Hello all :j
Looks like we had a bit more snow last night but least nothing else today. Suns been shining but nothings melting away:mad: Still, young girl is saying it'll be ok to drive tomorrow to Peterborough............main roads are ok I think............so hopefully my son and his family will get their pressies for Christmas:j

Next year I think I'll concentrate on doing a scrapbook for each of the older grandkids and my two sons and finish filling in Family History book for them both. I can post them if we get this sort of weather next year and I won't have to worry about it.............then just get something for little grandson and sons girlfriend.
Least that way I don't have to worry about anyone who lives miles and miles away..............organized of what :rotfl:

Had one of those days where whatever I look at goes wrong...........goggle eye fell off little grandsons snowman jar :eek: Fixed it back on.........attempted to created a Garden journal out of an old notebook and that didn't work so I've given up for today.

Now.................New Years Resolutions..........????

Dropped the Christmas Eve Hampers off at mums and she said how lovely they looked wrapped up with a big bow on!

Plus the cards I made - no-one realised they were home made until I told them!

Only a few bits of food for Christmas left to get for this week, finish cleaning the house and the wrapping to finish, oh no! Forgot still have the food pressies to do, did a load of baking yesterday and still have some more to do this week. Finished off the cake yesterday and made some sausage rolls for the freezer for lunches and teas while off at Christmas
