    Morning all.

    I see lots of people leaving getting the turkey till the last minute, I have done this for the last 3 years and always got a right deal, plus it is now part of christmas for me, I enjoy the buzz/gamble of not getting one, tis fun :D

    As a back up, I might just order this hamper, although might wait to see if they take 20% off in the sales. :)

    I am playing that game too. does anyone have a time they are aiming to get one by? I nipped to my T little store earlier and they only had one reduced and that was just a bacon covered crown down to about £22 after the £6 off. That wasn't enough for me, so left it. Going out later, thinking half eleven/twelve ish maybe...wondering if that is too early.

    Good morning all. Aldi, Netto and T already reducing Turkeys according to HUKD so may be worth an early look if you are playing chicken :) or at least an early recce to see how the land lies. W are the only major supermarket that are closing for two days so I suspect they may have the best reductions as they will not be able to clear any stock on Boxing Day (but higher prices to start with so will need najor reductions to bring them within range).

    We are already sorted and the turkey crown is now defrosting - I could not live with myself if they sold out before we got one due to my moneysaving and I spoilt Christmas :o.

    Now the big decision - do I wrap the laptop as my/the family present despite the spec being inferior and the price about £50 more than I could have got for this model (model that has turned up is not as advertised but delivery only arrived yesterday :mad:), or leave it out as a present and then use the "as Father Christmas didn't get one for us I will get us one in the sales" routine? Very annoying not having it for tomorrow as it is on a Christmas list :(. One of the risks of buying online, but in my defence I did order weeks ago!

    I have spent the last 12 months relocating cranberries around the freezer. But today when I need them, can I find them?

    Not bloomin likely:mad::rotfl:

    I'm now going to have to disturb the delicate ecosystem right at the bottom of the freezer:o


    Surely I haven't used them.........

    Does anyone know from which direction Santa is travelling across the sky later?
