Braved the shop and was pleasantly surprised at how few people were in compared to last year. Spent £19.73 and £17.30 in the butchers. Need to pick up rolls and pork pie on Tuesday but these are paid for and included in total.
Not a great deal more to get thank goodness. We are out Christmas day although have brought all the food for and will be doing most of the cooking.
Have just made the soup for boxing day - Red pepper & tomato and also Leek & potato. Tuesday will be busy making the mince pies and sausage rolls and anything else that's needed.MARCH £62.38/2500 -
A nsd today but I will be doing our BIG shop in the morning. I am hoping it will come to around £45. I have a £5 off a £40 shop voucher to use.
Once we are back I will make the stuffing and stàrt coating the gammon in honey. It is feeling like christmas now

NSD yesterday and I anticipate another NSD today - got the pork joint to pick up tomorrow, but as it's already paid for that should be a NSD too. Happy days! :j
