wendz86 · 19/12/2017 18:41

Mines being delivered Friday . I’m hosting Christmas Eve but will be at my parents Christmas Day .

Turquoisetamborine · 19/12/2017 18:54

We are entertaining on Friday and Saturday night so I need to get stuff for that on Thursday morning at Aldi. H has already done the Morrison’s shop tonight for nice meat, champagne etc but the nibbles weren’t good so hoping Aldi will be better.

Christmas Day we are at mam’s then eating out xmas eve and Boxing Day so don’t need that much.

Being delivered Saturday Xmas Grin

I've done most of it except turkey but am planning to go to Waitrose first thing Thursday (7.30am) to get turkey, fresh veg, cheese & cream.

Chchchchangeabout · 19/12/2017 19:02

Done it - butchers order to collect and Veg box. Puddings home made. Sorted.

mummyhaschangedhername · 19/12/2017 19:46

M&S order to collect Saturday morning and TESCO to collect Saturday evening. My mum got a Morrison's shop too for Saturday and have stuff in that. Had Waitrose this week for the non-Perishable stuff. I have all the veg in the TESCO one and drinks, m@s for meat and dessert and mum has breakfasts for Boxing Day and Boxing Day foods from Morrison's.

totsalot · 19/12/2017 19:52

All done today! I popped to Aldi for nappies and everything had fab dates so I grabbed a trolley and got it sorted. It helps that we're out for dinner on Christmas Eve, and my mum is going Christmas dinner and Boxing Day, so it was just all the lovely picky bits to do until New Years. Feel relieved I haven't got to go back in a supermarket I can't lie!

Lovemusic33 · 19/12/2017 19:59

I’m getting up early Saturday (6am) to hit tesco, I have all the frozen and chocolate items already so it’s mainly fruit and veg to get.

starfishmummy · 19/12/2017 20:02

Things that will keep are coming tonight...in fact the van has just been spotted!
Veg box on Friday. Butchers and fresh items from local shops on Saturday but that's down to Starfishdaddy!!

CakeNinja · 19/12/2017 21:09

It’s coming on Saturday morning. Dp is going to the butchers to collect the meat on Saturday afternoon.
We will need to get more logs and coal etc, but hoping to be done by the end of saturday. Yeah right Grin Grin

DeathMetalMum · 19/12/2017 21:12

We're going Thursday morning, as it's the last day in school for dc. Looks like the rest of MN are going then too. Grin

Kraggle · 19/12/2017 21:15

My delivery of veg etc is coming Thursday morning from Asda then I’ll be at Morrisons half 9 Sunday morning to pick up the important bits: Turkey, gammon, pate, pigs in blankets etc that I’ve ordered. Will also pick up any other needed bits while waiting for the tills to open.

secondhoneymoon · 19/12/2017 21:17

Only got fresh stuff left to get and that will be Thurs after work

CheapSausagesAndSpam · 19/12/2017 21:30

We're at MIL's for the big day but I need to get prawns, salad, cream and cheese...also veg and fruit and bacon!

God.

Dh wants to go to the proper fishmonger place (we're in oz) which is a bit of a drive and the fruit and veg will come from a local farmer's market on Saturday.

It's all too BITTY!

LizzieSiddal · 19/12/2017 21:34

I did most of mine today in M&S. I'm really chuffed Xmas Grin

I was going to wait until Friday but was awake half the night worrying about the horrific traffic queues etc, so set off early this morning and got almost everything.
Most stuff in there has use by dates of 26/27th.

Dh will pop to our local shop on Friday morning to get salad, milk, yogurt, cream etc.

GrooovyLass · 19/12/2017 21:36

Morrisons delivery booked for Christmas Eve. Feeling rather pleased with myself!

LynetteScavo · 19/12/2017 21:56

Always do it Christmas eve. Plenty of turkeys etc in stock. We have been gifted a lot of drink etc and I bought a lot today (party food, tins biscuits crackers etc)

HemanOrSheRa · 19/12/2017 22:48

I've got my main Ocado order and Booths order coming Saturday. I will go to Aldi/Lidl/Asda tomorrow or Thursday for all the Christmas chocolate, cake, stollen etc.

KimchiLaLa · 19/12/2017 23:00

I have an order coming tomorrow

teaandakitkat · 19/12/2017 23:04

I've just ordered all mine from Tesco this evening while sitting in the dark outside ds's bedroom making sure he stays in bed. Multi tasking at its best.
