We received our first Christmas card on Saturday and, for once, I agree with the sentiment. I wouldn't mind a little snow now and again to brighten up the soggy, muddy streets a bit 🎅 I wrote all our Christmas cards over the weekend and posted them today, not that I'm sending so many this year. With the cost of postage being what it is I have cut down by at least half on the number I usually send.
We had a lovely surprise on Sunday. G came home from work with this...
B &Q usually arrange a party of some sort for the staff at Christmas 🎄 This year, of course, there won't be one so all employees have been given a gift card. G usually misses out because he doesn't 'do' parties so this is the first time in 10 years he has actually had something for Christmas from work. This is so much better in my view than spending an evening drinking with virtual strangers and having to pay for a taxi home 🏡 We will consider carefully what to spend it on, although an online shop in the new year when we are tightening the purse strings is very tempting.
We have a shopping delivery due this evening (with some wine for Christmas) a delivery booked for next Monday and I finally managed to get a slot for Saturday 19th too. I'm hoping that the freezer will be big enough to store enough food so that I won't need to order again until the new year. I think slots will be few and far between until then anyway. I can bake our own bread in the breadmaker if necessary (I have enough flour and yeast i think) we will have longlife milk too so might only need a bit of fresh salad and fruit to keep us going.
Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post and offered suggestions for online shopping elsewhere. I really appreciate it.
In other news: My beloved little 10 year old car passed its MOT 🙂 No money to be spent on it until the insurance is due next March...phew!
Anyway, I'm off to clear a shelf in the understair cupboard for the bottles and tins, and a drawer in the freezer for the frozen goodies. Anti-bac wipes are at the ready 😷
Stay safe everyone wherever in the world you happen to be x
