Re: FMB Fanclub

Yeah, I'll probably do that myself, cos by about 9am it'll look like a herd of locusts ahs passed through, there'll be nothing left. And thats not like you have to get up early, more a question of go to bed later.

Kelly used to work on the Produce Dept (Veg) and it would be empty by then, But you always get the few who turn up at 5pm and ask where the veg is.

She has seen her fair share of fights too, Women scraping over Veg????

The good Point is that due to the fact the stores will be closed at 4pm on sunday, then they will have time to stock up with the store closed, as to trying to do it when its open.

Anyway I dont work Xmas eve

Thats when the drinkimg starts

My Wife used to work at Asda and at Xmas she would do nights.
While she was working she would put all the fresh veg in the back up and I would come in at 5am just before she finished at 6am pay for it, job done.

This year due to Xmas eve on Monday, stores are opening at 12.01am Monday morning cos of Sunday trading hours.
I will prob be there and get everythiong done and out of the way

Re: FMB Fanclub

I was in Asda at 5.30am last year - lovely! Not a screaming brat or whinging old git in site. Everything done in 10 mins, and home 5 mins later.
I re-read my previous post and I sounded like a whinging old git myselfmsl:

Just have to get up mega early and get cracking on the soup and trifles. Spose I could do the soup the day before, but not the trifles. might just leave em till we get home from our curry, by which time I'll be so plastered I'll probably invent a whole new recipe cos I won't know what the bloody hell I'm doingmsl:

Re: FMB Fanclub

Xmas Eve in our house, get up very early and be outside the supermarket at opening time and get the last minute things, ie cream, bread etc etc (although I usually have a couple of loaves in the freezer anyway). Then shopping done, its home start cooking, cleaning done and chill out - Lovely. Maybe out for a nice meal late afternoon, early evening.

Re: FMB Fanclub

I always go for a mad panic dash on Christmas Eve, even if I don't want anything. It was a sort of tradition with me and my mom, I still carry it on now, although mom has been gone since i was 24.
This year might be a bit difficult, as I'm in work, supposedly till lunchtime but hair appointment booked for 12.30, stables to do, going out for meal at 7, gotta find time to pick up meat from butchers who shut at 2, make 7 individual trifles and tomato soup (no, not at the same time, don't fancy tomato trifle much). I'll just have to have a token taz round Smethwick High Street, which believe me, won't take long lol. If you knew Smethwick, you'd know what i mean.....

Re: FMB Fanclub

Only got 1 holiday left now and that will be to pick my mum up from the airport in 2 weeks time (dropping her off today) so that's Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve again, never mind I'll go late and get it all reduced.

Re: FMB Fanclub

Oooooh thats a dangerous game nowadays, Les did some driving for a while a few back, in fact thats how I met him. I was doing the controllers job (part time, eves and weekends to help pay my mortgage) and he did some driving whilst he was setting up his business. Ooooh I remember the first day I saw him come in mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Re: FMB Fanclub

Didn't take long, Enaids nosey lessons are highly recommended.

Apparently a taxi driver asked some lads for the fare up front last night coz he thought they looked dodgy, he was right, they dragged him out of the car and gave him a real kicking, what a shame he didn't go with his instincts and just drive away.
