5 days to go. What have I forgotten?

[Monr0e]

I have "The Fear"

That nagging feeling in the pit of your stomach that tells you you have forgotten something of extreme importance. Like when you go shopping for the first time with your shiny new baby and realise said baby is still parked outside the shops while you have walked half way home.

I'm sat doing a shopping list and I just know I'll miss something completely obvious. Anyone else? Just me!

Pigs in blankets? As long as you've got those, you'll be fine.

Ibuprofen

Paracetamol

Calpol

Christmas radio times

Bleach

Washing up liquid

Batteries

Foil

Cranberry sauce

(And wine, but of course this essential could never be forgotten!)

Chestnut stuffing

And I tend to forget the normal things - toilet paper, kitchen roll, milk, bread, something for breakfasts etc on the days around Christmas

Bread sauce
Crackers
Christmas napkins

Pigs in blankets

Gravy granules

Most other stuff you can do without.

Thank you

Just added paracetamol, toilet roll, bin bags (and wine ) to my list.

I'll probably get to Christmas morning and realise I've completely forgot to buy someone a gift but as long as I've got the pigs it'll be ok

Just remembered I have to do my special orange cranberry cookies.

Other than that just 100's of pressies left to wrap....

Satsumas

Buy an extra box of chocolates and wrap it so that when the unexpected person comes calling with a present for you, you can quickly write a label and hand it over.

Double cream

God, this thread is useful. I forgot butter one year - that was pretty catastrophic.

Crackers! Wow thanks.

Bloody hell, I've just realised I've forgotten about pigs in blankets! That would have ruined Christmas.

Tea bags and coffee for all the visitors
Bucks fizz
selotape
Batteries if any small kids around who might need them for new toys!

I haven't some very much

But batteries and nappies

Zig Lora

Bloody autocorrect! Zoflora

I nearly forgot frozen Yorkshire's this week; though to be fair I also usually forget to cook them.

Adding zig lora to the list 😁

Carrot for Rudolf.

Eggs for the Yorkshire pudding mix and lard or oil to cook your dinner in.

Yorkshire puddings. I was not as prepared as I thought! Keep it coming!

I’ve just ordered some of those foil tray things. Fairy. Dishwasher tabs. Sponges.
