Sharing the offspring with an increasing number of interested parties means our festive feast does not take place until 27 December, but we still needed to shop today to be certain of getting what we need, so the first stop was Bolam's in Sedgefield for meat and veg, primarily a four-legged Turkey (not a freak but separate crown and legs that are so much easier to accommodate in the fridge for four days), where despite the crowds we got in, got round and got out by 10:30; second stop was a tactically late supermarket swoop on Morrison's at 20:30, which was successful in avoiding the crowds but hampered by many shelves being stripped bare by earlier rampaging hordes, requiring a third stop at Asda at 21:50 where the gaps were largely plugged, so that even if we didn't have everything we certainly had more than enough - in fact the only way to get it all in the fridge was to eat a sticky toffee pudding for supper.
