It was nearly Christmas and there was much work still to do at the North Pole. Santa seemed busier than usual and was starting to feel a little bit stressed. Mrs Claus had been enjoying a few nights out with the girls and the fridge and freezer were bare. Santa decided that he would have to take the reindeer by the antlers and step in to make sure that Christmas Day was as special as ever.
"I'm off to Adsa", he told Mrs Claus " and I'm going to buy everything we need in one single shopping trip. It will save time and money. Just to make sure we leave nothing out, I will buy one of everything they sell in the store. We need lots of spirits and wine, not forgetting Peroni for the Head Elf and ginger wine for Grandma Claus. I'll buy mince pies, Christmas cake and Christmas pudding. Oh yes.....brandy sauce, Yule logs, nuts and crackers. Tinsel, dried fruit and goose fat.....in fact everything we will need for a perfect Christmas lunch."
"Can you buy a Christmas table runner too" shouted Mrs Claus as Santa headed out the door.
The journey was long and a bit tedious but Santa arrived at Adsa in good time and proceeded to add one of every single item that Adsa sold, taking particular care not to leave out any of the Christmas goodies.
(Little did TM realise who she was rubbing shoulders with in the seasonal aisle:cool:)
With his shopping complete, Santa headed outside. Before he knew what was happening, a gust of wind blew The Longest Ever Receipt out of his hand and took it up into the sky like a ribbon. It swirled and twirled in the wind. Oblivious to this, Santa pushed his overladen trolley to his sleigh to begin the journey north.
At that very moment, TM headed out of the store to see The Longest Ever Receipt, fly past her nose and up into the air. She quickly turned to catch it and .........it disappeared........completely:o
She felt sad:o.
However to her amazement, as she was unloading her shopping,what should she find between her carrier bags but The Longest Ever Receipt :T
She gazed at The Longest Ever Receipt and wondered how someone could spend that much in Adsa:eek: there was everything there for the perfect Christmas. There were cheese boards, cranberry sauce, little sausages even shot glasses and a £7 Christmas Table Runner.:cool:

Popped into a larger A today and there are a few reductions on the vitamin shelves. I got some Vit B6 as well as the complex down to 50p, no cod liver oil but I have added to my cc shop for Tues so we'll just see what they pick for me. Anyway, I needed the fizzy vit c tablets to fend off colds and was happy to see these on the shelf reduced to £1.20 for a twin pack. Except when I went through SS, they didn't scan at that, they only blinkin came up at 2p. Went back and got the last 3 - in date until 2016 too :j

I survived the shopping trip
Turned out she just needed to pick up orders, finally some of what I've been saying to her has stayed in that gap between her ears! She told me I'd reminded her about c&c orders being free for most shops so took full advantage
. She thinks she's got everyone but won't know until tomorrow evening when she gets rid of my brother (who decided he's staying in hers tonight) then gets everything out and sorted into what's for who.
Next thing for me to teach her is to write a list detailing gift and receiver, that way we aren't subjected to her constantly going on about possibly forgetting someone.SPC #329 £471/£500 banked
