Additionally, greetings from Santa

In the opening calendar topic we mentioned we were going to try get a hold of Santa to see if he might have a little something for you. We managed to speak with him, even though understandably he is super busy this time of year... 

We managed to get 10 x £20 Amazon vouchers! 

We'll hold a raffle for the vouchers shortly amongst all participants of the calendar activity, and will let you know who are the lucky winners in this topic.

I just finished off the last small mince pie from Morrisons

I am still feeding off my 2nd week December 2019 online shop

The cat is well looked after for vittles

No bread ... and no milk today

Gotta go out tomorrow regardless of the weather ... have to post a cheque.

All I have left now is a few choccies (Choc Orange segments, mini bounties and one quality street toffee)

.. oh, and a couple of Mr Kipling christmas cake slices

I was given a mini Christmas pudding 3 years ago and it's been in the freezer ever since!

Burning question is

"Why do supermarkets stop selling mince pies in January?" I love `em and could eat `em every day

Thanks @Cleoriff . 

My carer does my weekly shop at Asda near me. She went yesterday [Wednesday] and came to me later that day to say that Asda didn`t have any left, and when she asked was told

"We won`t be having any more as Chrsitmas is over"
