Aw thank you. Wishing you peace, health and happiness at Christmas and beyond! Xx

Dia that's so nice that your house guests are thinking of you! BTW potatoes also make onions go funny 😁 always store separately 👍

Bah indeed! Describe it and the budget and we can keep an eye out for similar..

I made the mistake of looking, out of interest, what was available and how much. Must resist. I already have two dressing gowns I hardly ever wear! But so warm, so pretty, so in the sale...

Thanks for the tip about storing potatoes and onions separately - I didn't know they put each other "off"

Merry Christmas DIA , have a lovely time and am jealous you will be able to have a walk by the sea. On Boxing Day I will be out walking , destination unknown at the moment but definitely not near any shops.

Have a lovely Christmas!

Boo to the items being sold out.  Maybe they'll come back in in a few days.

I would be far too embarrassed to share the budget. It is A LOT

Aww merry Christmas to you too. There are swimmers who group to have a sea dip and there are fires on the beach. I am meeting a few friends after my walk and we will; chill a bit on the beach. Enjoy your walk!

It was news to me too...

Today was busy. Shops mostly, but now I have in all I could possibly need. I shopped at marksies late and was rewarded with lots YS items that have been sorted and are now in the freezer 

It is all very MSE but it reminded me that MSE-ing is quite time intensive. I am very grateful for all I have and so many are much worse off, but it did make me wonder whether there will be a time when Christmas Eve is not focused on shopping for YS foods...Or, a time when I just buy something rather than waiting for the sale, only for it to sell out...I know I sound entitled and really, I am not. I know how lucky I am. I think I just want to acknowledge the MSE journey is incredibly empowering but sometimes can be difficult and annoying too...

Anyway, happy Christmas to all who read, comment and make the journey easier. Have a lovely day tomorrow.
