Bring back the MFI sale. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have "getting to know you" staff features in a monthly work newsletter. One of the questions was "Name someone who you have learned the most from." One chap replied "I have 2 teenage sons, they know EVERYTHING." 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert2251 Posted December 21, 2023 #53606 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Thats it, we're finished no more supermarkets until after Christmas now, all shopping done, presents wrapped but not under the tree. No tree for us this year as there is too much temptation for Cheddar, all the other decs are up though. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiana123 Posted December 21, 2023 #53608 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Just popped into Morrisons for newspapers and it's almost empty,. Also, I had e mails yesterday offering me an Ocado slot slot for Christmas and also something called Tesco Whoosh delivery almost immediately, and yesterday there was my Iceland order delivered in under three hours. Add that to the 15p vegetable war that is going on at the moment, and it makes me think they are all struggling for custom this Christmas. Josy, love the tree and so glad you decided to do it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted December 21, 2023 #53609 Share Posted December 21, 2023 @Rupert and @indiana123 we never had a problem with either of our dogs and the tree but all 3 cats that we had thought that the Christmas tree was for climbing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Hill Posted December 21, 2023 #53610 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Nipped into M&S food to pick up some GF Items, the main store is relatively quiet, the food part is a bit busier. We decided to get some sprouts as well as the farm shop hadn’t got any this morning and mine in the garden a very late. Option of prepared sprouts with bacon & maple syrup, looking at pack sprouts looked unappealing, a suspect there was only one rasher of bacon chopped up and as for maple syrup where was it? These were £3.75 or get a bag of sprouts for 65p and add your own bacon and maple syrup, for much less. The words “rip off” come to mind. The parsnips were £4 ready prepared, we got 4 large ones for 45p at the local farm shop this morning, we can prepare them ourselves. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know full well that teaching is great but restrictive in terms of choosing your own holiday dates, which I’ve been able to do in my new job since leaving teaching in 2019. Not close to being ready to retire though! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
