Christmas Eve, Eve

What a day Tuesday was - what was 'supposed' to happen was:-

.)Peter goes into work and goes to his team's Christmas lunch
.)The Tesco online grocery delivery arrives between 9.00am and 11.00am
.)Two of my friends come over mid afternoon for a present swap, chat and mince pie

All very calm and festive.

What 'actually' happened:-

.)Tesco's rang at 9.00am - they won't be making any deliveries today as roads too icy
.)Peter got stuck on his train at Southampton and came home as the live rail had frozen
.)Friends couldn't come round cos of the weather

What we did about it:-

.)Went to Tesco's to 'collect' our online shopping - spent 15 minutes circling car park for space, 10 minutes at customer service desk and quite a while in delivery bay whist the drivers unloaded our shopping from their vans.
.)Called in on friend number 1 and exchanged presents. Friend number 2 turned up unexpectedly (hadn't brought her present with us)
.)Got home and had lunch at about 3.30pm.
.)Delivered present to friend number 2's house at 7.00am Christmas Eve. Venutred into a shop (on Christmas Eve - am I mad?) and purchased an essential item that I had forgotten from our Tesco list - loo roll!

Back home now and I ain't going out again for at least two days .......I am now officially holed up for Christmas
