I dont envy you going through New Street - since the remodelling I really hate it. WE change trains in Stafford (or even Wolverhampton) if need be rather than go through New Street

Vs M
1x Heinz Beef Ravioli in Tomato Sauce (400g)£1.07 £0.60
4x Heinz Spaghetti with Sausages in Tomato Sauce (400g)£4.28 £2.40

Also working against W at the time of my shop, but that will stop imminently I feel (W now full price), if it has now not already done so. Given that there are generally a lot more 'good' items against M than W, including "SP" items - although some of those way more expensive now than the above:rotfl: and note the double quotation marks btw - it seems 'best' to buy vs M.

Vs M
4x Cadbury Curly Wurly Bar (26g)£1.40 £1.00

Also vs S, but S is straight price (take the bold away from the total price). I bought Cadbury Chomp Chocolate Bar (23.5g) this time rather than Cadbury Chomp (23.5g) as I didn't want to go to CS again. They both look like chocolate bars to me, but obviously the one I didn't buy is just Cadbury Chomp (23.5g):rotfl:.

As Christmas will be a little different for us this year, we’re having our family meal and presents today, followed by a quiet day tomorrow. SIL is cooking - we’re having goose :eek:
To absent friends :beer:

The Royal Family also open presents today so you are in good company - its a German tradition to have Christmas on Christmas Eve

I still have very twitchy feet but I've been everywhere so no-where to go

Went to Morrisons today to get 3 veg for £1 - Ok not the cheapest but very happy with 2.5kg of marie piper, fat carrots and brussels
Also got thick bacon for the bacon baps and a french stick and that was it - concerntrating so hard on the list it never entered my head to get the maltsmiths :mad:
Then to Marks to get a turkey crown joint for when the gang arrives in a few days - very little chance of me getting a yellow label one but at least I have something - paid for with an android pay £5 and a credit voucher
Then to Sainsburys to do a return and to get a few bits - got reduced custard tarts for Oh and a reduced pasta bake - thst was about it.

I have 2 books to wrap but no wrapping paper left - hopefully I can get some reduced on boxing day otherwise its going to be brown paper

no problem parking anywhere or getting through tills or SS - all very calm and low key
