Merry Christmas

reilig

I'm going to start this.

I hope everyone in F & F has a happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year.
Hope your cows calve in daylight hours, and that with each bale of silage you open, the quality gets better.
Be safe this holiday season.
If you have children, treasure the sparkle in their eyes this festive season.

Thanks for making this place what it is and for working together to make it an interesting, enjoyable and informative place.

Be good!!

Happy Christmas to one and all!

And may I reiterate the words of Gerald Potterton in this week's IFJ ...

'....forget the old and look forward to 2013 and I hope it will bring you both health and happiness. Nothing else matters.'

There's a lot of supermarkets putting it up to Tesco this year with the delivery service ...and it's not before time. Supervalu much better shop IMO.

I still bought some booze mostly in Tesco to get the 10c/L off their petrol. And I made sure to watch the litres dial, as the discount was only on full litres... the sneaky bast**ds!

The Mrs has a loyalty card which is scanned each time she shops. All the products that she usually buys were in the favourites section when she signed up onliine and was in order of number of times bought. (Big Brother in action ) It was simpply tick what you want. Took less than 20 minutes. Tried to sign up with tesco, but it was a complicated proceedure

moy83

Yup it was tesco we tried , it was slow to sign up alright . But its just not my thing , I think tesco are going to be putting fairly big trucks on the road soon that will drive to rural areas and people will be able to walk in and get their groceries once a week off the shelf so to speak .

Happy Chrismas everyone , take it easy and enjoy the hols they only come once a year

i'm back:eek::eek: i normally do online shopping with tesco but the christmas shop is different , i prefer-even if i dont like it:o- going in to the actual shop for this shop, get a few last minute things etc...... online shopping is great and stops you getting those impulse buys while you are in the shop. Also hate filling the trolley emptying it, filling it again, emptying it into car and putting it away.......... also if you have smallies when shopping it doesnt work out

dzer2

On one rare occasion I was in Tesco with the missus we were walking around and I seen a trolley half full of gear I asked herself who promptly told me that it was the online shopping and that they were filling it and bringing it to the van I couldnt believe they had the milk and cold stuff in the trolley it lay there for at least half an hour. I wouldnt like my gear lying around like that.

sure it took me 1.5 hours to get around the store today, so my own shopping would have been longer in the trolley than that online shopping, also peeved off as when i opened the boot when i get home a bottle of wine fell out and smashed on the ground, lucky it wasnt the bottle of jd i got for my brother, was nearly tempted to get a straw and suck it up:cool:

may your blues be born small and their arses end up as big as your wifes ,may their feet trot on solid ground ,may your grasses grow bountiful and overflowit ,may farmer maddness continue with hand waving around the ring, and if you breed anything else goodluck. have a good one from wax's in waterford, 2013 bring it on as it can't get any worse,can it?:D:D. christ i hope that this wolf blass winery has had a good year, as its 2010 is very nice:p dont want to be dissapointed in 2014.
