Christmas food ordered

[highhopes19]

So last night I ordered all our Christmas dinner food and desserts from sainsburys ready to collect on the 23rd so exciting

We always go out for Christmas dinner but I couldn't justify it this year belle is a real fussy eater and hardly touches it I don't mind paying for daisy as she eats everything and anything

Now to pay off the rest of the deposit for our holiday in the next 2 weeks so then I can get into full christmas mode!

So exciting! You're very organised

Oh wow has Sainsbury's got theirs out already? I can't see that Morrisons have theirs yet, I will be buying a few bits from them, love their desserts and beef wellington!

 

[wildflower79]

Wow, you are very organised! I haven't even thought about what I'm going to have yet.

 

[DanielleM]

Brilliant, my kids want the sleeping Santa cake from there

 

[highhopes19]

That's about as organised as it gets though I'm afraid I feel so behind this year im starting to panic doesn't help that oh booked a holiday where the remainder of deposit has to be paid by the ,17th of November which is making me even more worried

I've made a list of Christmas food and that's about it

 

[SmartieMeUp]

What does everybody have on their lists? I've only had Christmas with OH's family or my own. Bar once in 2014 which was me, OH and DD1. But that was a standard crumpets for breakfast, roast with few extras for dinner then crackers and cheese for tea. It'll be us 4 this year unless my parents decide to come too - I don't know what things should be bought.

 

[motherofboys]

I've got a christmas eve list (we have a buffet) Christmas day last with bacon for breakfast and all the roast stuff, a general Christmas list (cheese, tins of sweets) and a drinks list

 

[Pearls18]

A list doesn't suffice for Christmas, I have to have a spreadsheet I start with a food timetable and then create lists underneath for snacks, puddings etc, then ingredients. I do a Tesco slot that I book early Dec so I have 3 weeks to alter!!

I do that with asda. As soon as the Christmas slots become available I book one.

Makes it so much less stressful! Never had issues with subs.

I refuse to be stressed about Christmas anything we can't get we go without. Thankfully subs have never been a huge issue. We've had a couple of unavailable items but I've just sent dh out to get them or as close as possible to them
