    Mrs Feet, whilst doing her usual prep for Christmas day announced:

    “I’ve forgotten to get the bacon” 😯 😯

    Sweet Lord, if that’s not grounds for divorce I don’t know what is!

    Luckily the Co op had some and it wasn’t busy. I did fear that peace and will to all men would be thrown to the winds if I’d had to go to Sainsburys.

    At least I took the opportunity to get another bottle of port as well 😀

    Don’t worry, I’m sure you’d have found a Muslim shop open tomorrow.

    I feel for you, not even reached the stress of Christmas dinner cooking 😀

    I think bacon deserves a bank holiday all for itself

    We do party food for Xmas Eve – had to buy extra pigs in blankets to ensure all will get a fair share (after ive taken mine of course!)

    Consider this a lesson learned, never leave a task of this importance to someone else.

    Will she be sporting a black eye for Christmas day?

    We’ve remembered the bacon, and the extra bacon, and the spare bacon, and the emergency bacon, and the pigs in blankets. And the ham, in case anyone gets bored of bacon

    in case anyone gets bored of bacon

    Quite simply, that’s not possible

    I love her really, but this bacon thing is becoming worrying 😉

    I forgot and just nipped in Bromyard convenience stores at the last minute. Bless them, this Christmas breakfast is ON! I even forgive them for looking at me blankly when I asked “Do you have advocaat? (BLANK STARE). You know? Warninks? (BLANK STARE, mild shake of head), yeah you know, for snowballs? (THE BLANKEST, to which I laughed) – you know I may well as be speaking Dutch, right? (Thinks) – in fact it IS Dutch (BLANK SMILE). No worries, just the bacon thanks.”

    You forgot the smoked bacon.. Unless you’ve already lit the smoker?

    The other half came home from work with a bottle of Glenlivet from the “gift from customers” pile. I think I’ll go through with the wedding…

    You forgot the smoked bacon…

    I merely thought it too obvious to mention

    he’s quite rightly making the assumption that it’s all smoked, as if it’s not, it’s not quite bacon, is it?. 😀

    One can never have too many bottles of port. Looking forward to a bottle of 2004 I’ll be opening tomorrow.

    The co-op: where villagers are overcharged (if the shelves are even stocked), and “special offers” don’t scan.

    Never mind the lack of bacon, tonight I have been presented with Waitrose “Essentials” mince pies FFS!

    Where can I get slabs delivered from on Christmas Day?

    Just emailed the missus to lift out the bacon, knew there was something I forgot to do!!!

    Apparantly we had “enough” stuffing though. Yeah, okay then….

    Actually our co-op has a local farm bacon. It’s really rather good

    Don’t knock the essentials. Waitrose Essentials thick cut bacon is way better than any of the other supermarket premium brands – I’m sure the mince pies will be fine 😆
