My online shop can be amended unto mid morning today and I've just amended it (again!). I just find it incredibly hard to estimate how much people will eat!. Please reassure me I am not alone Xmas Smile

Too many times! Planned to do one final check and amend this evening. Instead I'm in hospital. Anything missing will have to hit the shops Friday!

Leaning Shock . Poor you. Hope you're able to get what you need somehow.

I must have adjusted my order 20 times last night alone! I've been amending it virtually daily. Each day I've concentrated on one day or one category - so, Christmas Day food on one day, 'treats'on another day, household goods another and so on. It's due tomorrow and I can adjust until 11.46pm tonight, but I don't usually make any alterations after about 10pm.
I've never had problems with my Christmas delivery - usually all present and veg etc very fresh. DH is on standby to go shopping though, in case anything is missing.

I've had to cancel mine and go to the shops 😭 It was due on the evening of the 23rd but we've got 90mph winds forecast! Tesco's delivery vans will not be out in that!

Oh so many times I couldn't even count. It's mad isn't it - the shops are only shut for one day!

Mine arrived yesterday. One substitution - our 'alternative ' dessert option for those who don't like Christmas pudding. Substitution very acceptable, so no issues there. One item not available, but dh was able to meander to the local greengrocer and buy it there. So, Christmas is officially 'here's, some food preparation tomorrow then just bung it all in cooker on Sunday.

Hope everybody's orders arrive on time and complete.

I change my delivery about 10 times on a normal delivery! Changed about 5 times last night. All arrived at 7.30 this morning on time and no substitutions! However will
Probably still wander to local shops as will be something I need!
