My family have arranged a Secret Santa between them and have arranged for everyone to drop all the presents here today! So with everyone coming a going it will be like Piccadilly Circus, except it's in Tier 4! I have also got my Tesco delivery this afternoon (including sprouts for my mother as she forgot to order any) - fingers crossed everything arrives. Good luck and have a fantastic day.

I know you lot will be having the finest, fresh goose/turkey delivered by the local butcher or Waitrose, but if any of you have a frozen turkey, today is the day to start thinking about defrosting... Andy And also putting the sprouts on. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Sharon Posted December 23, 2020 Author #11305 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I was lucky. The latest order I could get before Christmas was last Sunday and not only did Asda deliver everything with no substitutes. but it was all very long dated - at least until Boxing Day. No intention of going out now till next week. Hope everyone gets all they need today and tomorrow. I do feel for the poor delivery drivers though. It's not their fault if items are missing. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esprit Posted December 23, 2020 #11309 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Thanks for the defrosting times. Just two more days in the office, then four days off. Three days back and another three days off. Not sure I will cope with so many days off work. Hopefully my stock of Peroni will get me through it.😉 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Asda deliveries have been pretty poor lately with lots of missing essentials, but this one wasn't bad, just a couple of realistic swaps.

kalos Posted December 23, 2020 #11313 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I'm pleased to read that most are sorted with your Christmas orders . Time to defrost the Turkeys ,unless your having a fresh one . I know some of us will be having beef but whatever you have I hope you enjoy it As it is the time of year for mirth & merriment .... Paddy took 2 stuffed dogs to the Antiques Roadshow. The presenter said, .... "This is a very rare set, produced by the celebrated Johns Brothers taxidermists who operated in London at the turn of the last century. Do you have any idea what they would fetch if they were in good condition?" "Sticks!" Paddy replied. Someone's being playing secret Santa ? I found a Rotherham season ticket nailed to a tree. I thought " I'm having that," You can't have enough nails can you ? Our supermarket says that Johnnie Walkers goes up by 1p at midnight to £20 quid a bottle, so tonight I'm gonna party like it's £19.99 A Yorkshire man takes his cat to the vet. Yorkshireman: "Aye up lad, I need to talk to thee about cat." The vet replies "Is it a tom?" Yorkshireman: "Nay, I've brought it with me." Has anyone else been ripped off on eBay? I bought a deep fat fryer the other day (supposedly brand new) It had a chip in it. and keep yourselves safe 6 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshirephil Posted December 23, 2020 #11316 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Cold wet and miserable weather here. We went to Aldi early for last minute top up and whatever fresh veg was available. We were pleasantly surprised as to how quiet it was, there was some veg but not the usual choice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
