    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 £62.38/250

  • £5.46 in Li*l, went in to get the soup maker that was on offer but they didn't have it, still got a few bits though.

    There were some in ours last time I was in, if you'd still like one. I could send it to you.

    Get well soon! xx

    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
