if everyone is having guests for xmas

[DrFilth]

why did everyone go shopping in asda this morning ?

[emmie]

it's the one time of the year to push the boat out, regardless of who is or isn't coming to dinner.

[DrFilth]

the kebab and curry houses are open near me :)

[DrFilth]

my newsagent is open christmas day, shame there is no papers

[Barmaid]

Our local Indian is open too. So that's Christmas Eve supper sorted.

[DrFilth]

they don't deliver at dinner time near me or i might be tempted for chicken madras for my christmas dinner :)

[emmie]

DF, many people work on christmas day, so places will be open,

[Borrheid]

ASDA at 1:00am was bliss! No crowds , loads of fresh stock and customers wishing each other Merry Christmas! It's been part of our routine at this time of the year for ages.

[DrFilth]

em10 worked shifts for 28 years, have worked christmas and new year

one year we had a nitrator on the ground floor with cans of beer floating round inside and men trying to fish them out to stop it blowing up

[flump1]

We are not having guests this Xmas.............we are having beef boom boom !!

[emmie]

DF, me too, now i don't, and that is how it's going to stay.

[DrFilth]

we had some fun years ago, one bloke fell in the canal about 1 am trying to get back in work after leaving the pub

I've got Waitrose coming this afternoon. I booked my slot as soon as they were available but had no idea at that time what I wanted. So I ordered a dozen bottles of vodka just to hold the place and then amended the order on Wednesday to what I need. Just hope they've got everything I ordered.

No were having Turkey Guests don't taste so good.

[DTCwordfan]

should have seen Sainsbury's here - an utter zoo not helped by some daft female driver.

I went up on the roof to the back of the car park, a Saab driver came out and indicated to me he was pulling out so I waited. This Peugeot estate then pulls up and he neatly blocked her as I pulled in. She of course starts ranting in foul language (with kids aboard) that she was there first - (only 45 seconds lte madam).

"Have a Miserable Christmas, Madam and Bog Off."

We went to Sainsburys' yesterday for the big shop and it was quite quiet (about 15:30 hrs)

I did suggest to Mrs A that we go to ASDA (Hyson Green branch) instead but her face turned white and her eye started twitching.

Personally, I don't care where we go... as long as I get my cider and beer!

How did you get on Ladybirder................I had 8 substitutions in my Waitrose delivery, 2 of which were bloody useless. I did however get a far superior Xmas cake for £5 less.

[Jan1957]

Just had my Tesco delivery and I had 4 substitutions, all of which were better than I had ordered. Got enough honeyed parsnips to feed an army! No chestnuts though but I can live without them as got all the alcohol including an upgraded bottle of whisky for the same price as ordered so I'm happy.

[ladybirder]

Don't know craft, not delivered yet. Due between 2 and 4pm. I've stipulated 'no substitutes' except where I specifically say. The trouble is with doing that though I could end up with nothing. The one thing I'm really bothered about is some Green & Black miniatures they had on offer. I'll go potty if they don't have any left as I wanted them for stocking fillers.
Actually you've got me worried now ...........
Sorry about your lousy subs. It's pants isn't it!
