Re: Do we have to go shopping on Boxing Day?
After sitting about yesterday, I'll pop out soon to get my paper, and have a wander down the High Street. Just waiting for some washing to finish.Might look in the card shop, to see if there are any reductions. Bruv and sil buy theirs at vastly reduced rates just after Christmas, and tend to get for birthdays too. Had to laugh the other day: he showed me my Christmas cards for the next two years!

Re: Do we have to go shopping on Boxing Day?
It's a glorious morning here in Yorkshire. Bright sunshine and very warm - in fact been able to turn the heating off. I've got a pile of washing to do and today would be a great day to hang it out on the washing line. But it's not done is it? Not on Boxing Day? Grrrrr. So will have to wait until tomorrow when it will probably be chucking it down.I need to buy more bed linen. Family coming to stay on 4th January for possibly several months (house sold, new one not yet found). Surely the prices at Dunelm will be the same tomorrow as today?

Re: Do we have to go shopping on Boxing Day?
Nope, we are lucky, very very few shops open on Boxing Day around hereLocal petrol stations open till lunchtime if you need to be on the road
Some English chains will open, but that depends on what town
We are just going to wrap up warm ( it's a cold one) and have a walk along the beach. We miss our dog who was pts 8 weeks ago. Just realised we haven't been out for fresh air and exercise for days

And I've spent a few minutes removing the prices, attaching post it notes to mark recipients, writing them on a list, and also making a list of cards I still need to get.
Job done!!

what's the betting that you won't be able to find the list next year (and maybe the cards too)

Right. The bag from the card shop is atop a unit, tucked between the bread maker and a box that normally holds spare cards. The lists are in that bag.
All in one place.
So if I start asking, in a few weeks, where my cards and lists are...you can all tell me then, can't you? Lol.
