What are on your list of ' things to remember for Christmas' random items /food etc

[MarmitesMyMate]

There's the obvious of batteries. I always go to poundland etc and get 2 big packs of each size. Rarely needed them as most stuff has batteries but one year I forgot and our corner shop charged dh 11.99 for 4 AA batteries nor even duracel!

Bin bags I always make sure I have
Plenty of washing up liquid

Random I know.

The thing we've not got this year is turkey foil.
I normally pick it up when I see it, but DH has been doing the shopping and I didn't mention it to him. It now appears to be out of stock...

Oooo good idea! I have:

• nice cereal for Xmas morning
• gravy
• bucks fizz

I think I'm covered but I am anxious that the Tesco delivery I have booked for Dec 23 might have items missing and it will be a scramble to find them. The main foods I'm collecting as a food to order from Sainsburys so I know I'll have the turkey and most veg, but the ingredients for other meals and cranberry sauce and bread sauce etc are in the Tesco shop.

Got the Gravy and bucks fizz

I always get the bake your own pastries for Xmas morning as the go in oven whislt the wrapping is being cleared away and I boxing toys.

Got all my sauces too been collecting them as I see them. And paxo.

Were Only eating here Xmas day so not going ott

Great thread

I tend to stock up on solpadeine. Calpol etc

Curry sauce (as I make curry with the huge left over turkey and do make from scratch)

Our local shop opens on the 26th but I do keep a decent stash of food.

Tin foil
Loo rolls

We’re going to mums on Christmas Eve to stay over so I’m making a list of all the presents that need to go. They are stashed all over and it’s going to be a while before I see everyone again so if I forgot I’ll feel horrible. So I’ll be doing a crazy count in the car in the dark on Christmas Eve but it should work.

Sprouts
Binbags - just realised op said this!

I just added stamps to my list. Used my last on Christmas cards and am a traditionalist you still likes to send thank you letters.

Tinfoil, baking paper, loo roll, milk, orange juice, maple syrup, honey, nice ice cream, extra wrapping paper, extra boxes of chocs/selection boxes for last minute visitors. Spare generic gift tags. Spare batteries for all the battery operated lights around the house.

I'm pretty much done. Just need fresh fruit and veg, Croissants, Cheese and crackers, Painkillers, Plasters, calendar for dd's stocking and Viennetta - tradition in our house!

Rennie or Gaviscon

Mentos and a bottle of coke. DS is desperate to do the experiment!!

Yes to calpol I just got another bottle as ours is half full. In nearly 16 years I've never had a poorly kid over Xmas thankfully but guaranteed if I ran out of calpol that's when my luck would run out.

Cellotape for wrapping up.

Or is it Sellotape?...Sticky tape anyway!

Napkins
Extra butter
Paracetamol
Foil tray for the Turkey
Batteries
Cream crackers

Hellman's mayonnaise (we have supermarket own at other times)
Oven chips for turkey and chips on Boxing Day
Part baked baguettes
Extra butter, juice, milk, cream

Tin foil, baking paper, cling film.
Bin bags, washing up liquid.
Kitchen paper, toilet roll.
Birthday cards (have 3 birthdays between Christmas and NYE and often get caught short without cards and presents!)
