    Indeed I do, cathybird. We have a click and collect to pick up tomorrow (6 bottles of fizz on the Asda 25% off wine offer, my husband is paying - yippee). Doubly motivated to save money and NOT step food inside a supermarket, with all that last minute stressy shopping and crammed car parks. BUT think we might need a fruit and dairy top-up before Wednesday..... arghhhhh :rotfl:


    Yes dairy can be tricky for Christmas feasts ... I will probably need some last-minute green salad leaves. Going to try to avoid Tesco though!

  • 15/20 NSDs for me, thanks to being well-behaved today. It helped that the supermarket car parks looked crammed and uninviting! I suspect a visit to Aldi might be in order tomorrow. Fingers crossed for minimum supermarket queues and customer rage-factor. :D
