Not down to their fantastic offer but down to the 13 out of stock items now not coming and a further 20 substitutions including swapping a large tin of Quality Street for a box of biscuits The only thing I didn't get from asda was a litre of Lambs Spiced rum, but I found out the day before so switched it for bacardi. Strangely, the very same item was "out of stock" last Christmas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been adding Christmas stuff to my weekly delivery for months, so now I have everything required and haven't had to leave the house. No **** way you'd get me anywhere near a shop at this time of year.

She didn’t take much persuading mind. She’s had 3 bottles of gin bought her by her boss at work. This being one of them that I’m trying. The bottles lights up. Blackberry flavour gin . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For shopping, Telford Town centre is far, far superior to Wolverhampton. The Mander centre is a properly depressing place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never actually been shopping there but driven past the modern looking shopping centre. Looks quite decent to be honest. My Dad said he doesn't hate it, so thats the equivalent of a very strong endorsement! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mander centre is a properly depressing place. That’s probably quite true, I just thought that the yam-yams would be better off going east into Brum. That’s what I used to do when I lived in Telford. To be fair it has been developed an awful lot since I moved away. It’s almost unrecognisable now. I remember it when C&A was at the top of the escalator from the bus station, and you could smoke inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Just been to pick up the Christmas meat from Morrisons, click and collect and paid for with their Christmas savings club thing. My wife put some money on it earlier in the year so that was a nice surprise when I scanned the app and only had to pay £3 for a big box full of goodies. I expected a nightmare but it was dead easy, no queues, no complications, no stress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post il_serpente Posted December 23, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2021 My son's PCR test came back negative. He still feels like sh*t but at least we can stop locking him up in the back room and sliding trays of spoiled food under the door like a prisoner in the SHU. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 With xmas going ahead as originally planned, I’ll be spending most of tomorrow in the kitchen. Roast pork ribs, potatoes, sprouts, kraut, gravy. Then get absolutely stuffed. Who cares about the prezzies? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted December 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 23, 2021 The state of some of the veg on offer in M&S was woeful, we ended up getting lots of the veg from Waitrose in the end which we never do at Xmas. Lots of the veg in M&S was short dated to 26th too We got most of the things we wanted but odd shortages like Bay Leaves (which we normally have in the cupboard but had run out) All done now, the missus is putting it away and I have first dibs on the microwave for my chicken Madras before going out to work for a bit. Then back to work tomorrow and watch me fly home on the dot of 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
