Completely addictive. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a "Football drum anonymous" support group. 3 -
Which is probably why they only seem to be in the shops at Christmashoneythewitch said:

I can confirm that the footballs are only for Christmas. I know this because I have traipsed through shops in January looking for them, hoping to feed my addiction. 2

I was informed by someone this week that they could get 8 cheesy footballs in their mouth at once 😳 it was the look on her face when she realised she had said it out loud to us Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin6

So how many Honey? 😁
lazy day in today, I think Waitrose are trying to tell me something 🤨 the three out of stock items on my delivery were all naughty Christmas treats, stollen, Turkish delight and panettone 🤨 so the question is do I wonder down to town on Wednesday and see if I can find any or be good as it's not really needed 🤔

Well I would do it for mini stollen as I like those but not the other too. But Lidl etc seem to be sold out so that's a temptation that will need to wait til next November for me.Brambling said:I think Waitrose are trying to tell me something 🤨 the three out of stock items on my delivery were all naughty Christmas treats, stollen, Turkish delight and panettone 🤨 so the question is do I wonder down to town on Wednesday and see if I can find any or be good as it's not really needed 🤔I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.
