This will be my 3rd xmas alone and I intend to keep things simple. A nice ribeye steak and bottle of Shiraz for xmas day and maybe a mince pie or two. I have booked a xmas/new year Canaries cruise for next year as the previous ones were enjoyable. Yes I also have bought too much previously. This year I’m just getting a normal sized chicken plus a few extras (stuffing, sausages etc). Nothing else special….. Edit - note to self, must not talk about Christmas for at least another 2 months!! Edited October 1, 2022 by Angel57 An edit added 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual I go off to sleep quite quick nowadays but now wake up often at 3 or 4am wide awake! Hubby’s birthday this week so we might, just might, go away for one night! Can I trust my parents to be left?! They are still taking up a lot of our time but I’ve got irrationally annoyed that my sister (who lives 2 hours away) has just booked a week in Kos in 2 weeks time!! Sunday we are going to our son’s for a birthday dinner for John so looking forward to that. Happy birthday to John. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you are too, Angel57. I just looked, and it is obviously open, and fully booked after about 20th! But still £3 for delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted October 1, 2022 #38691 Share Posted October 1, 2022 And thank you all for cheering me up; feeling a bit better today, and have just been invited to a village event and said I will go; this takes some courage for me, as Ii have been pretty well housebound for about three years, for various reasons. Recently, however, I have been meeting friends and driving again, plus staying occasionally with children for a few nights (they do not live near me). Happy Birthday, Angel!☺️ 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pay monthly too for deliveries but Waitrose, when I go into it, says they are not releasing dates here till the first week for November. They also say that they could all go within minutes! I don't know what my daughter wants so on "the other site" where I have saved a slot I have ordered £100 of cat food and will edit later!!

Well I didn't want to lose the slot!!!🤣 Don't forget to cancel your catfood and put the proper order in. I usually put two bottles of expensive gin in, as a 'keeper', as £40 is the Waitrose minimum, then put the real food in the day before. In the past I have not been able to get orders anywhere near Christmas, but (with good reason) we were put on 'priority' some time ago, and I do have an order delivered pretty much once a week, as I can't lug heavy bags around. The staff and pickers and drivers at my store are fantastic; so nice and efficient. I always send Head Office a glowing report on them, at Christmas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, same here for deliveries - all Waitrose slots on 21/22/23/24 gone. I got 22nd Dec which suits me fine. Enjoy the village event. x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
