i just booked 2 deliveries, one for 21st for DDs party which is on that day and i have taken a leap of faith with that one actually and i have booked the xmas one for 23rd. last year was fine actually, just mincepies not in stock but they did deliver the rest!

What happens if you order a turkey and sprouts and they substitute with turkey fillets and a green pepper .

futurity · 23/11/2008 23:22

thanks for this..was just browsing on my phone before I went to bed and saw this thread so got up an logged on to PC to book my slot! I am NEVER this organised and always curse having to go into store at stupid o'clock in the morning!

Does anyone think that it is possible that a turkey would be out of stock on 23rd? Dosent bother me personally cos im veggie but I still do turkey for other family members. Should I get the turkey myself seperately and not rely on tesco?

Thank you have booked a slot on 22nd and just done half the shopping

blossomsmine · 23/11/2008 23:35

Thanks I have just booked for 23rd!! Then went back and changed the time as i decided there might not be anyone in!! So pleased with this!!!

BlessThisMess · 23/11/2008 23:39

Yay, me too! Someone nominate JudgeNutmeg for a special MN Award for most helpful post of the month!!!

Ive just tried but the 'week number' thing has vanished from the screen on mine.. i did see it earlier in the week when I was sorting this weeks shopping, so I'm wondering if they've realised & changed their system?

Or maybe its just mine

So will have to wait till the weekend after all..

cece · 23/11/2008 23:43

Thanks so much I have got a slot for the 23rd! Perfect.

TheRealMrsJohnSimm · 23/11/2008 23:45

Glad I'm not the only one doing this already.....I booked with Waitrose for 22nd last week and wondered if I was being a bit hasty and sad.......apparently not!

EyeballsintheSky · 24/11/2008 08:02

Slot for the 23rd here as well. Thank you this is brilliant!

BONKERZ · 24/11/2008 08:10

bevlongy, you have to move the week bit to the next week and its there!

puppydavies · 24/11/2008 08:31

anyone booking at waitrose i've got a good offer code here

jenkel · 24/11/2008 10:14

Just done mine, thanks for the tip.

procrastinatingparent · 24/11/2008 10:27

Brilliant! Booked for the 23rd. DH might finally be coming round to the value of MN!

NCbirdy · 24/11/2008 12:28

Judge, did this last night (although did not need to check out first) Worked a charm - hope they don't get tipped off by the sudden influx of early orders

It does not work for Asda or Sainsbury's though!

Helennn · 24/11/2008 12:51

Thank you so much. I am relieved to have got a slot on the 23rd. Supermarket shopping just before Xmas must be the worst thing about Christmas!!

Flier · 24/11/2008 13:10

thanks for this - isn't mumsnet fantastic

Remember if booking your fresh turkeys they have to be booked by Sunday 14th December

AnAngelWithin · 24/11/2008 13:12

just done mine for the 23rd too. between 12 and 2pm so anything thats nit there i can go to the local (though expesive!) supermarket that evening to get and then i havent got to brave the shops on christmas eve! thanks judge!!

LittleMissNorty · 24/11/2008 13:16

Fab tip - thanks

Just booked mine for 23rd....there were a few slots already taken as well, so if I'd waited until next week, wouldn't have got anything.

Word of warning.....when they turn up, check your dates on fresh stuff.....everything I was given last year went out of date on the 24th....it was fine of course....but didn't stop me complaining, and I got £30 worth of free food.

bramblebooks · 24/11/2008 15:27

That is amazing! Thanks so much - people must be wise to it, so by the time it comes up for booking, it'll be full.

Either that or it's everyone to judgenutmeg's for Crimbo lunch!

NCbirdy · 24/11/2008 17:36

I thought that too Bramble, I did have a moment of guilt but then I thught that others will be doing it too and as places are alredy getting filled up I must just be doing the same as others - so the moment passed

futurity · 24/11/2008 18:49

bad news here. Tescos just phoned up and cancelled the order saying there must of been a fault on the system and that can book it from next week. I have had such an awful day I wasn't in the mood to argue.

Oh well.

NCbirdy · 24/11/2008 19:00

Oh Futurity that is not nice for you I wonder if they are going to call everyone? Seems unfair somehow if we get away with it and you don't

futurity · 24/11/2008 19:04

i don't mind others getting away with it. to be honest i will be up early next monday morning due to school run so can get my slot booked then. I just liked the thought of something cool (I know its sad but you know what i mean!) like this working out for me for once! (can you tell I have had a crap day!!!)
