Smug alert!!
On a surf camp in morroco...avoiding everything Christmassy with ease,seems a distinct lack of turkey here.they do seem to eat everything else,had snails and sleeps head the other night..no sign of Xmas here although there was a rumour of a Christmas party on the day...I've heard the weather is pishy back in the uk? Nice balmy 22 here 😆
The whole supermarket thing is nuts really.....
Just ended a lesson in Bolton at 9 am as the lad was going work and the queue to park on the market was massive despite the time of day, town was as busy as a normal Saturday at lunchtime.
I'm being a Scrooge as there is only me to provide for so I'm just going to do my normal shopping and get myself a few treats. Don't drink alcohol so just gonna buy cake. Doing mine tonight about 6pm so fingers crossed I don't end up in chaos as I don't cope well with lots of people around.
Xmas day will be Mums around lunchtime, nip to see Nan who's in a care home, then I'm going my Mates in the evening.
Wife and Nippers off to outlaws - I'm off to work (flying to Japan) so no more shopping required until 29 Dec!!
Usually, I do the big shop. I go to a 24 hr Tesco late at night, usually on the 23rd, and its fine.
PS Sainsburys basics Baby wipes about 50p a pack! I use them for everything from wiping kids to wiping off paint splashes, and bike cleaning.
Popped into my merchants warehouse to pick up a couple more bottles of Sancerre, nice Barolo and a chat. Managed to track down some superior Luxardo maraschino cherries for a decent old fashioned. All sorted.
