For some reason, neither of my local supermarkets stock Fettucine any longer, leaving me in the unenviable position of having to decide whether to buy Linguine or Tagliatelle for my Ragú.

Sainsbury's could not supply the pork loin joint I had wanted to serve for dinner on 25 December.

We will have to have either:

The pork crackling joint or
the turkey leg joint or
the chicken or
the roast beef.

Bah!

It was remiss of me to mention it, I just assumed that it would be understood.

Now that's also gone, and I find myself drawn towards to laid-down port. The only thing stopping me is that I'd have to move the hoover and about a hundredweight of mrs_o's old, retired (aka "worn once") shoes to get to it.

Time to check the wine rack again...

I'm down to my last 60 bottles. And those are in boxes and I have no idea which one contains my favourite bottles of cream gin. The suffering, it's inhuman.

Local supermarkets only seem to stock Cadbury's Hot Chocolate pods for the Tassimo, not the yummier Suchard's variety.

Traditionaly, Father C. brings me a decent bottle of single malt in my stocking.  Problem is, I really fancy a night cap and pressies aren't for several hours yet.  So, (imagine the horror) I'm having a Famous Grouse and coke.
Even worse, I'm enjoying it.
I definately need counciling.
