Sounds like a plan about your phone. I think looking is the best idea too. I've been saying before by not looking so prob best if you can see it.
Hope your dad's scan doesn't show anything serious. X

I'm going to think about it for a bit,I will have to try and wait until next month anyway so hopefully it won't pack up completely before then x

Just popping back in to tell you all that I actually started my Xmas food shopping today 🙀🙀🙀 we have a tradition that  every Christmas we have to have Elizabeth Shaw mints ( has to be the ones in the round box) anyway last year I saw some around about this time but didn't buy them because I thought it was too early. When it came time to buy them I couldn't remember where I had seen them and we couldn't find them anywhere, luckily we saw some when we went to Mr T for the main Xmas shop but there was only one box with a lady standing in front of them so I had to practically rugby tackle her out of the way to get to the chocolates 😂😂 Today I was in Wilkos and there they were boxes and boxes of crisp minty chocolates so I bought two boxes. I have now decided that I'm going to buy a couple of things every week from now so I won't have to rush round like a loony in December and might actually be able to find all my favourite things
Now I've admitted to starting my Xmas food shop I'm off to bed because my holiday is over and I have to get up at 5.15 for work 😢😢😢😢

That's a good idea OBL to start getting bits each week. I might so the same. I am going to make a start this month. I've normally almost finished by now but not even started this year. 
I think I'll need to start putting some bits away but find I usually eat them x

You won't like this, but I've just thrown away a box of Elizabeth Shaw mints. My SIL bought me them when I broke my leg, I don't like mint chocolate, Mr SA tried one and didn't like it so they languished in the drawer for ages until the other day when I threw them in the bin. At one time I would've taken them to work and put them in the kitchen area for people to take but obviously WFH that's not happening. Good idea to start buying bits now though before it starts to get too busy.

I’ve just found all sorts I’d bought for last Christmas - fancy nuts, and liquorice all sorts. I also have a home made Christmas cake we didn’t cut into 😱😱......and a box of Elizabeth Shaw mints  that were half eaten.....half a box of out of date Freddos  and out of date Jaffa cakes. I’ve bought them on offer and thrown them in my Christmas cupboard but we go away most Christmasses to dds........I will NOT be so wasteful this year.....Who knows what’ll happen this year though.

So sorry to hear about your dad. I hope the scan is soon so at least he knows one way or the other.

Laughing at your Xmas shopping antics. I am normally buying presents by this time, but although I have a list we are hopefully moving in a few weeks, and I refuse to move presents! So will be a bit delayed this year.

I'm normally really good if I buy thighs for Christmas,it goes in a box out of the way so I'm not normally tempted,this year has been a bit different though so who knows what will happen 😀

There is no chance of anything chocolatey going out of date in this house, me and DD are like a plague of locusts if there is chocolate around😂

Thanks 
I haven't got a clue what to buy this year so haven't really thought much about it to be honest. How exciting to be moving,hopefully it will happen soon and not too near to Christmas
