Parsnips. When I dug out the ones I had bought a few days before I found they had sweated and gone smelly. Family would have been unhappy to go without Delia's Parmesan Parsnips with their Christmas dinner. Fortunately at 5pm on Christmas Eve Asda still had a mountain of them.

Two sea bass, half price in Morrison’s. Son said he didn’t really fancy them, so I took this picture to send him!

New bedding. We are going to update from queen to king size this month, so I managed some on-line boxing day sales for down duvet, mattress cover, sheets, duvet cover.
Yikes, I have spent about a week's wages without actually having purchased the bed or frame yet!

A bottle of baby Calpol, and a litre of milk.

A packet of ginger nuts and a Freddo! The ginger nuts were to make a Lime and Mascapone cheesecake and we usually leave a freddo with towels on visitors beds!!
