Oh bum I've forgotten stuffing too. Hope the corner shop has some.

Assume I ordered a single sprout rather than a bag. I think I'll serve it ceremoniously to DB, no-one else is that bothered about them.

allspice berries but I’m guessing I won’t be able to tell the difference (for brining turkey)

Brown sauce. Apparently that is all my DP can have on turkey sandwiches (which is news to me and we've been together 13 years Grin)

I'm just using this thread to add things to my list that I would have forgotten in the morning (silverskin onions, and turkey foil - though I might just use the narrower stuff and fold it together).

I'm going to Sainsbos at 6. I should probably put the phone down and get some sleep really.

I forgot loads and had to go back--Bombay mix, smoked salmon, soft drinks (remembered the wine!!), mince pies. Braved M&S and Tesco in the city center, absolute carnage.

I went round mums earlier to assess the fridge! I told her her giant pigs in blankets were unacceptable, and she’s bought frozen Yorkshire’s! Outrageous! So I’m off for chiploatas, streaky bacon and eggs in the morning to put it right Grin

Actually steamed sprouts then gently sautéed in lots of butter and seasoned with salt and pepper are delicious!

Remembered the foil, forgot the roasting tin!

Uhm...don’t know who my comment was for, I’m sure someone was worried about not having bacon lardons to go with the sprouts!

I got tonic and lemons - but we don't have any bloody gin.

I should just stay in bed really

We couldn't get 1000 island dressing in our local Tesco Extra this morning. Dh drives past one on the way home from work, he described it as a "war zone" and they were also out of 1000 island.
Got it in the local coop. Only have to go out tomorrow to get the dog to the vet. And we're done!

I'm very glad I've looked at this thread as I've realised we've forgotten to buy pull ups! Thank you PP who mentioned them!

@Ninkanink that was me with the sprouts. Will give that a try. Otherwise would roast them with curry spices. Should be fine with turkey and cranberry right? Grin
