My plan to go shopping last night was a failure, because it seemed many other people had the same bright idea. The place was packed, trolley jams at the end of aisles, waiting constantly to get at the shelves, but at least it wasn't as bad as it could have been. We did have to wait to check out, but compared to other years when we've ended up queuing for half an hour, well, it wasn't that bad.

Of course I then had to come back and fight with the freezers to get everything in. Having huge ass turkey and pork joints in there takes up a heck of a lot of space. And the meringue ice-cream dome fills half a shelf on its own.

Today we're hitting the shops for the very last gifts. I think we have 2 we need to get, so that's not that bad. Then after that, we're done, and the weekend should be stress free.

Okay, I have modly duties to do, then we're off to battle the crowds.

Meringue ice-cream dome?


...I think I need to be having Christmas at your place!

Yep, it looks fantastic, and huge! It's a good thing Christmas is only one day or my diet would be blown to hell *g*

But hey, you're welcome to come over for a slice at any time!

Oh exactly. The one day of the year when fatty food doesn't count is Christmas Day :D

I didn't need a lot because I go home for Christmas (and South Shields/Lemington on Boxing day!) so rather than face Asda, we did Marks and Spencer and Spar!

yay

Dave said Sainsburys wasn't bad though.

OOHH - parental move back up to the NE. Looks like being Whitley Bay or Tynemouth!

We were in Marks and Spencer yesterday, it was so calm there, unlike Asda which was insanity!

That's cool news about your parents! We'll meet up one of these days!

The nerves of some people; to decide to do the shopping at the same time as you! *shakes head*

And I'm done Christmas shopping wheee! Found everything in one outing, too. Impressive, uh? *g*

I know! They should have had more consideration. Some people just don't care!

Dude, I'm so jealous of your Christmas shopping skills. I seem to have been shopping for months now. But, as of tonight I'm done too! YAY!
