Keith last winter we didn't manage to get out to Turkey until 20 December, that was the first time in seven years we had been in the UK in the run up to Xmas. I was like a kid, there is so much variety for Xmas - party food, booze, choccies, decs, mince pies, shortbread and proper cheese biscuits, we were well stocked up with goodies last Xmas.
Unlike me, my husband is very organised and knows exactly what we are short of and need to take back but that doesn't prevent him from buying things that aren't on the list. His favourite saying is "it won't go to waste" and it never does.
