Bright looking day today but boy is it chilly. Will be venturing out soon to check the local Tesco for any Christmas offers but mainly for the traditional festive veg reductions. Visited Morrisons yesterday where bags of sprouts, carrots, parsnips and a swede were being sold for the princely sum of 5p/item but, only via purchase with its Club card - which I don't have. So like all others in the same boat I will buy elsewhere. An act of self-harm by Morrisons I think and something that I think would never have got past Ken Morrison were he still on scene.

Edit to add: Well, bought my veg at Tesco who are selling pretty much the same veg as Morrisons but for 3x the price at 15p/item via a Tesco Club card - which I do have. Still cheap I thought but popped into a nearby Lidl on my way back and ... it is selling much of the same for 5p/item same as Morrisons but that is the price to all and no type of Club card is required. Grrr!

I went to Aldi on Thursday whom were selling veg carrots, pots, sprouts, purple cabbage, parsnips all 5p no club card, on the way home had to pop in Morrison's

AS i entered the store there right in front of you were the same as above 5p but only if you have the more card, a lady was there who was the manager, i asked i cant but these can as a normal shopper she said yes, but you have to have a more card, I then said surely that is bordering on discrimination or is discrimination, she looked shocked then answered but the more card is free, but they need your details name address etc email. and you have to download the app on your phone so no it's not free is it really.

Same with tins of chocolate quality street etc £3.50p with card without £7 how can they justify this, got the quality street from Aldi £3.50 its all a con and we stand for it.

Santa may bring you some new ones, but only if you believe, I'm tidying the shed up a bit so i can't find anything after then preparing the Sunday dinner, what's everyone having the Sunday before Christmas

Abbot Ale.

Overcast and wet here, a day in I think. I have made a start on using some of the Christmas veg, steamed some for lunch and have kept some prepped for later. It is quite filling ... Burp!

Tonight you mean? that was a nice steak and ale pie down in the gazebo with a nice open flame fire, watching TV qith a few beers

I let my guard drop with a garden incinerator earlier in the year and it bit me in the rear. Very embarrassing as in a previous life I was nominated as man-A for all things fire related. I left it unattended (first golden fire rule broken) while I nipped into the house for a toilet break, returned a couple of minutes later to find a large part of the rear garden ablaze. The incinerator which was well past its best and lidless due to rust had flashed over to a large pile of conifer waste and ye Gods it was burning with fury. It was then that I realised that I had nothing at hand to extinguish/fight it with (second golden fire rule broken). Most of the conifer waste was still very green and I thought too wet to have burned at all but once it caught it became self-feeding such was the heat. Much embarrassment followed but suffice to say before lighting a fire assess the area for suitability and safety. Do not use an incinerator/fire grid that is past its best. Never EVER leave a fire unattended and always have something to hand in advance to extinguish/fight it with. Here endeth the lesson for something that will hopefully never be repeated - by myself at least. Cough!

well as everyone got all their presents ready to make others happy, or are you one of those whom leaves it to the last day, and suffer the mad rush on Christmas eve.

I'm glad we don't do presents in our family, we decided a few years back to stop it, what a relief for all, sucking on an Humbug at the moment and it tastes great.

Marina is the present obsessive in ours. We all club together for something the grandkids will really appreciate but then she goes off on one calling them "stocking fillers" never seen so much junk in your life, still keeps her happy.

Somehow we have been roped in to make sure the next door neighbour isn't on his own for Christmas, this has now escalated into him, a couple of other single pensioners and Marina and I all setting off for 3 days B&B in Bloody Blackpool starting Christmas eve. Not my idea of fun at all. Need to find a way out of this for next year.
