Not forgotten, but couldn’t find custard powder. Xmas Angry

So far, I’ve bought most of this stuff specifically for Christmas, and my bloody family have eaten the bastarding lot (except tissues). Now they keep asking why there is ‘nothing to eat’. I’ve taken to locking myself in the loo for extended periods of time.

greenlobster · 23/12/2019 21:51

Wide tinfoil
Chocolate coins for all the kiddies
Sausages (not forgotten but they were sold out)
also sodding tampax (not for lunch!)

DeadBod · 23/12/2019 21:51

Salad stuff. Can't be arsed to pop to shops tomorrow so we'll do without.

Petrichor11 · 23/12/2019 21:55

Bread. I was planning to make bread rolls tomorrow but have realised my yeast is 2 years out of date and more importantly I really can’t be arsed. So will have brave the co op tomorrow morning to get bread for a Christmas morning bacon butty and Boxing Day leftovers butty.

Also hand soap.

And may treat myself to some vodka since I’m going out anyway!

Trying to find out if we can use allspice powder instead of allspice berries on the beef. If not, we might have to rethink the marinade.
Still trying to decide whether to buy crackers. If I do, I’ll get ones with upmarket gifts not plastic tat.

Villagegreenpreservation · 23/12/2019 21:57

Hand soap here too! Shit
And bread for bread sauce.
Warburtons it is then

CointreauVersial · 23/12/2019 21:58

I'll let you know at 10am tomorrow, after my Tesco online shop has been delivered.

Probably something crucial, like the turkey.

Pepsi max

I should have got more pickled onions too. I had two jars a couple of weeks ago and thought I had one and half left but I only had half a jar. I could do with lemonade as well, and Jack cheese for tacos on the 27th. I really need to check the fridge shelves better before shopping.

likeafishneedsabike · 23/12/2019 22:04

Dishwasher tabs. First world problem . . . But bit of a killer at Christmas.

Dollymixture22 · 23/12/2019 22:05

Wheaten bread
Mint leaves
Sushi
Turkish delight
Ice
Crisps
Cashew nuts

Askey's Café Curls. I need them for my Boxing Day knickerbocker glories. Can't find them anywhere. They must be a summer thing.

OhWellThatsJustGreat · 23/12/2019 22:06
