We have our groceries delivered and all this week we've been adding tasty things to our order, then having guilt feelings so taking them off the next day. But looking at our order yesterday several items had been dropped off our list, out of stock. One item was the cloves, which we need for our spicy red cabbage, so we decided we would have a trip to our local Coop. We do buy all our extra bits there and one of the cashiers, an elderly man used to work for my father as a young man! Small world!
It was refurbished in the summer and is now very modern with upright fridges and much wider aisles and it is a lot brighter too.
Big mistake! We saw a whole lot of very tasty bits, which were definitely not on the SW food plan, chocolate covered Florentines being one! They are delicious, we tried one as soon as we got home, but no cloves there either!
We were out quite a while, as I walk up and around all the aisles for my walking activity! By the time we came home I was very ready for the 'loo' I rushed in just in time, and it reminded me of the book, 'Elizabeth is Missing.' Maud her old friend, back from a shopping trip, rushes home for the toilet, but it is just too much for her and she sits on the toilet with her trousers still on!! If you're not an old lady you wouldn't think this funny, but being old myself I know exactly how this could happen!
When we reviewed our order later and checked all was there, no more items had dropped off, and they then had cloves! So all is well, we have to collect it all today Tuesday, as we failed to get a delivery date, but its all easy and very organised at the Tesco store..So we feel we're all sorted, are you?

You sound so organised and don't the Florentines look tasty. We have 36C today heading up to a balmy 41C by xmas day. haha air con is cranked up but generally we sit outside at Chrissy, with the sea beeze and water misters to keep cool. Cold collation for lunch.
Sitting on the loo with your trousers on? Er... better than the alternative. Tiled floors are a great blessing. (Don't ask, don't tell, all I'll say is experience is a great teacher!!!!)
Glad you got cloves... I need to add red cabbage to my New Year order, thanks for the reminder.
Adding and deleting items from the list is something I do all the time, I really should know better than to make lists when I'm hungry and easily tempted.
Without a key ingredient it certainly does nothing to help you make the right meal that you want. As far as walking around inside, or weather has been so miserable this Autumn and the beginning of winter, that when I go to the large grocery we have in our little town I walk up and down every aisle and that is my exercise for the day. I miss being outside. I hope you too have a very lovely Merry Christmas.
All sorted here and I've made a list of what needs doing each day until the 25th.
We are all sorted here. And glad of it!
It is hard to go shopping and not pick up those little extra goodies!! :)
Well done on being sorted ... so am I :)
All the best Jan
I have cut right back on the treats this year, well on food buying in general. We have a large tin of M&S chocolates and that's it for treats. Bet hubby will pull a face when he realises, 🤣🤣 I have stocked up the freezer with all the cheap veg though, haha.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2026
We're sorted here and that gives me a few moments to read blogs! Happy Christmas!
