Tell me to stop panicking about Christmas food shopping..........

[StuffTheMagicTurkey]

It's the fresh stuff (done an online order for the rest) - you know - turkey, veg, stuffing etc. I'm going to rely on M&S for everything but can't feasibly get out until Thurs cos I'm not too well at the mo.

I have visions of emtpy shelves and me in a panic......

[puTITANIAchristmaswishlist]

oooh....me too....... I've done an online shop for basic stuff thats coming tonight....DH is working now and I can't leave the house cos of having an unvaccinated puppy that chews everything in the house now....Imagining having turkey with no veg......

[StuffTheMagicTurkey]

Glad its not just me. We need someone to come on and tell us they NEVER shop until Xmas Eve and there's always a food mountain left in the shops .

Dont Panick - Dont Panick - [Mr Mannering style] same here but was hoping to do that Friday.....

[nailpolish]

thats me puff. i go to the 24 hr asda at 6am cos my cousin works there and i know cos she told me that the veg delivery is at 4am and the shelves are stocked by 6. and its quiet.

dont panic!

[StuffTheMagicTurkey]

Hurrah! Ok - a few more people saying the same and I'll quell the fear of a turkeyandvegless Xmas!

[nailpolish]

deep breath.......

set the alarm and go to shop at 6 - 5 if you cant sleep

[LipstickMum]

The shops, especially Marks, will be well stocked, don't panic. Although can't guarantee it wont be packed with other shoppers! Make sure you go without children if possible

[StuffTheMagicTurkey]

THat's the trick isn't it nailpolish - be up and out with the larks.

I could send dh, but bless him, he took 3 HOURS yesterday to find a small basketful of shopping I sent him for.

[merrymarthamoo]

You can always have turkey, baked beans and oven chips!

[nailpolish]

oh no dont send him. go yourself - if its quiet you might even enjoy it. (?)

Don't know how many people are in London (and this is bound to happening elsewhere too but I just don't have the times) There's a farmers' market in Islington on the 23rd of Dec - especially for people to get their veg. More fun for kids too than normal shopping
