The absolute worst part of Christmas for me has to be trawling around the supermarket with a million other people all fighting over tubs of brandy butter and the best Brussels. This year I decided very early on that I would not be a part of that pandemonium and very cleverly ordered my shopping from Ocado in, wait for it ..... September!!
However difficult it was trying to predict exactly what I would need 3 months in advance, I did it in the comfort of my own home and even with the £10 delivery charge it was worth every penny. The price of the shop came to £254 which I think is about right for a Christmas shop and I am confident that I have ordered everything I need.
My relief at pre-ordering was confirmed even more so today when a trip to my local Budgens for a packet of butter turned into a 40 minute obstacle course and fight for the check out!
I am so looking forward to a nice polite delivery man bringing all of my shopping downstairs into my kitchen this evening in clearly marked bags for cupboard/frozen/chilled and being able to spend the rest of the evening relaxing instead of experiencing a near coronary!
PS. Above are some very snowy cup cakes I made this morning whilst still snowed it!
