Things can only get better

That’s what I was thinking...I actually threw half a pack of seeds away last week. Your greenhouse will pay for itself in no time at all 👍

Panic buying strikes again 🤨

The other half works not far from a big supermarket and he said that the traffic has been queuing past their place all day.

On a local news FB page, someone commented their father is terminally ill and this was going to be his last Christmas. They would be spending it with him whatever the consequences. Under those circumstances I would do the same. I have a feeling there’s something similar going on with the couple across the road from me, haven’t seen the bloke for a while now and their son and GKs are there every day visiting. 

Nothing would keep me away from a terminally ill relative. It would be worth the fine.

While I get the sentiment it isn't the terminally ill relative that you have to worry about. More the other relatives you will come across in seeing the ill one.

I don't mean that to come across harshly and it certainly isn't meant that way. It is just a sad fact of the times we find ourselves in.

I would avoid visiting them when others were present and would self isolate first for two weeks.

Swapping a vegetarian pizza for a meat one does seem the height of idiocy, but Mr T have done exactly the same thing to us in deliveries 🙄. They had satsumas at the Mr T near me this morning, but I didn't check out the lettuce situation as I rarely buy lettuce, just as well it seems as I wouldn't be able to even if I wanted to now 🤣. You've got to laugh or you'd cry 🤣.

I hope you managed to get the missing bits from your Mr M delivery, it's nice knowing you've got all the food in for Christmas and can just hunker down ☺🎅 .

I love my lettuce on a salad will get spinach instead I think we grow that in the uk 😂. 

You do sometimes wonder at the swaps the supermarkets put in. 

Sorry to hear your gin advent calendar didn't quite hit the spot , next year you can have your bottle instead.

Have been to Aldi and there’s loads and loads of lettuce. Got everything on my list except for smoked salmon so nipped to our little Mr T Express and picked some up there, they also had loads of lettuce as did the Iceland next door. So don’t panic there’s plenty, it’s just the media up to their tricks again. People tend to overlook the small shops at Christmas so often better to go there.

So that’s it, nothing else to buy 🥳

I’ll nip to Aldi - thanks SA

One of the things tat puts me off shopping on line.
Earlier this year I got no pepsi max & even the delivery driver commented on it!

I find it's best to do a combination of online and real life shopping to get everything I need. Mr T substituted de-caff tea for tea with caffeine in once 🙄🤣.

I'm glad you've got all your shopping SA 🙂.

This thread was open from a while ago on my iPad...I opened the bookmark and was presented with your dogs bottom as he looks for your DD...really cheered me up. He has a very cute behind!  Mine is asleep on my foot...all 50kg of her...
