J20 drinks. Once bought some outside of Christmas when they were on offer and DS (16) was very put out. He insists they are a Christmas tradition that must be saved for then only.

Nasty stuff but for some reason they are an essential part of the day for DS. I think i probably didn't let him drink them when he was small other than at Christmas and this has become a big deal to him. 😂

J2O drinks here too!
After Eights

Pate. Bloody love it but doesn't occur to me to buy it during the yeat

Also Matchmakers. Had to replace two boxes in today's shopping because I've been dipping into them through December.

Do you remember having to buy the TV and Radio times, as they'd only print their own schedules?
