They're out now 🥰

I've booked mine - ordered a boneless leg of lamb with rosemary for my meat and have added a ton of desserts 😭

Got a sicilian lemon tart, raspberry and strawberry trifle, Belgian chocolate torte, and a sticky toffee pudding - all No.1

Then got some veggies and Lincolnshire sausages 😍

Anyone booked theirs?

Still need to get some chocolatey snack bits and some crisps 🎄🎄🎄

Oh yes, as soon as they came out! I was at the gym at the time so have secured my slot with a ruinously expensive bottle of champagne so I ought to get my finger out and swap that for some actual groceries. If not, I will have a nice Christmas at least!

Yes and it’s only £4 and I’ve got the day I wanted. Ocado is so expensive it’s ridiculous.

I’ve done mine too, thanks to this thread! 🥳

Yes!

Booked mine on the 24th September. I signed up for their new delivery pass so was eligible for early booking.
Haven't been able to have that for the last two years despite being an online customer for nearly 20 years as I apparently didn't spend enough! My bank account said otherwise 😁

Anyway got my December 23rd preferred slot and ordered my joint of porchetta for Christmas Day

😄 did you pause your workout to place the order? That is exactly what I would do, so no judgement if so 🤭

The Ocado app is difficult to use as well!

I was surprised at how easy it was to order from Waitrose tbh, got the slot booked for the 22nd, lots of slots available!

Yes! It freezes all the time as well.

Over a week ago! I have a delivery pass.

DH booked it yesterday, as far as I know he's put some of the posh stuff we used to buy from the store before we moved.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 03/10/2025 16:37

Its getting closer 😍 about 12 weeks now and we'll be tucking into our waitrose meat and veg

Yes I did it. We have 2 huge Xmas lunches to do - one for 11 people and one for 21 and Waitrose is the best for entertaining stuff. They have great big joints and desserts!

Omgg! 😄😄 - big family?

I'm cooking for two (well three including dcat who will have some lamb) although I am shopping ss though i'm feeding 21 people 🙈🙈

Yes big family - and I’m by no means the best cook but one of my sisters is a brilliant cook but has quite a severe dairy allergy so I always feel it’s a bit unfair for her to cook even though I’m sure it would taste a lot better!

@mumofoneAloneandwelli almost always over order too - I do love Xmas food!
