Sainsbury’s shop coming tomorrow and have until tonight to update.

Up until this morning all I’d added was Prosecco, smoked salmon and quality street but have now been at it for a couple of hours trying to remember all the necessities as well as the treats!

I’m feeling very flustered as normally it’s my husband that does it but he isn’t back until Christmas Eve late afternoon...

What will I have forgotten...?

Start checking out at 10.30pm. If everyone’s checking out just before 11 the system be can really slow/crash and you may miss the deadline.

@Mamagotskills it’s a thing apparently!! 😬

Just read every post thinking cranberry sauce... No one is saying cranberry sauce!!! Both relieved and a bit disappointed to see it (wanted cranberry glory).

All I got to give you now is sandwich fillers. I did my shop yesterday and looked in the fridge to fill a sandwich and there was Jeff all!!
