Normally remember everything…
Probably shouldn’t have tempted fate by posting that!
As we went to get things out of the freezer last night to defrost, I suddenly realised we didn’t have our roast potatoes. We did have some tiny roasties from Aunt Bessies in the freezer which would have done in a pinch, but not the proper goose fat basted fancy ones that we’d planned to get a tray of from Tescos the day before (the other half’s day off work was changed last minute which messed up our shopping schedule).
Checked the Tesco website and found that they were closing at 6pm on Christmas Eve and it was already 5:55 by the time we realised, so that was no longer an option. But luckily Sainsburys were open one hour later, so we headed there as a detour on our way round to the wife’s parents for pre-Christmas drinks. They had loads of trays left of exactly what we were after - pretty sure there will be lots of them as yellow sticker specials on Boxing Day.
And then we managed to leave behind them in her parent’s fridge and the wife had to pop round this morning to pick them up!
