MAJOR PANIC here today!!!

Suddenly remembered that SWMBO always wants a "Cottams Hot Pot" on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve

It is actually not a Hot Pot but a family sized pie with Hot Pot ingredients - her family had this as a tradition of having it on these date

Anyway - I normally order that and the turkey from the same place
but this year we have found a better butcher and ordered the meat from there and forgot the Hot Pot

ANyway - I rushed down to the market - where the old deli is located - but they insisted that it was far too late to order one (actually two) and it had to be done by last week

OH ****

anyway - went on the WWW and found that one local posh farm shop does them
so I dashed up there and they were all "Oh yes - no problem at all - when do you want it"
no rush involved or anything

so now it is all ordered and being picked up on Friday - same as the turkey
we will have the grand-kids - at least the boys - so we can have an expedition to get them all

WHEW!
Just as well it wasn't a last minute dash to a supermarket on Saturday.

You were luck, this time.

Good morning all.
I have a few errands to run later on.
One is to go to Tesco Express with a parcel to return. Apparently there is a self service machine there that will scan a barcode and print the label. We will see if the technology works for me.
I also need some fresh fruit from the local grocers.

Morning all.
My front tooth sheered off close to the gum yesterday. I think it was dead after getting head butted 60 years ago so there is no pain, just jagged edges. I need an emergency appointment and with Christmas looming wish me luck with that.

I have the CH engineer at 0830.....trying to sort out this one annoying radiator. It will work maybe 2 days then refuse for the next few days

Good morning,
No rain! Mrs Tkk is taking her new shopping trolley down to big Tesco shortly. It will be the trolley's third outing and is definitely a hit. Veg box arrives this morning and I have a few cards to drop off so will jump on the Brommie.
