	Went out this morning to do the best part of my food shopping and it was already chaos! What is it about Chritmas that makes people forget their manners and even lose the ability to use something as simple as a supermarket car park with a modicum of decorum? Anyway, I got a Christmas kiss from Tom, my favourite greeter at Asda so it was worth it! lol ;-))))))

	Jeanette I wouldnt be able to walk round in the crowds so am having mine delivered this evening, and has been good because what with my memory have been able to keep going in and adding things and changing things so much less stressful. Mind you when I did it 2 weeks ago all the delivery slots for this weekend and monday had gone today was the nearest to christmas I could have. Madness

	Just got back from Tesco and luckily I had only gone in for a few bits. The queues were 12 long and up the isles with trolleys overflowing. The hand basket only till let me through with my half empty little trolley luckily. Whoever arrived after me would not have found a space in the car park and this is a huge car park. As for the local roads.... I have never seen anything like the queues for roundabouts. I like it when it gets to 5.30 Christmas Eve and nothing else can be bought, if you haven't got it then tough. Not looking forward to the drive to London tomorrow to see In Laws but hopefully everything will be coming out of London! Happy Christmas! Jacky

	Come to Ringwood next year - I 'phoned a hairdresser soon after 9am on the spur of the moment, was given an appointment for 10.15am; parking no problem; new hairdo; bought three things in Sainsbury's; back home. ..... *goes now in search of Tom ...

	I have a couple of things still to get as they didn't have them at Asda (no chocolate logs would you believe!) so I'll have to brave it again another day. Joy....you lucky devil! I wonder if I could get a spur of the moment appointment for my nails. They're actually long for once and I fancy something a bit spangly!

	Hi Jeanette, tell me about it. I did the bulk of my food shopping last week. Went up to Morrisons this morning at 10.45am. It was like Christmas Eve, apparently they were queing at 8am to get in. Took me just over an hour to get another trollley full, check outs not too bad. Phoned for taxi at 10 past 12, couldnt get one till half past, it turned up at 12.45pm. It is absolutley freezing cold up here and I am that cold I'm dithering. Goodness knows what it will be like at the weekend. Happy Christmas. Jenny xx
