The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 So Grandson #2, James, was supposed to spend the day with us, but he's got a cold and so my missus had to go to my daughter's place in Cardiff and look after him. And the groceries were delivered and there were: no chickens; no profiteroles; no trifles; no mince pies - no kinds of puddin's for Christmas. So I phoned my wife and told her what was missing. She said she'd stop off on the way home and pick them up. She just got home and said that Grandson #1, Lawrence, who's 13, went to Sainsbury's and got all the missing stuff for her - and he was very good at getting the right "sell by" dates and everything. Walked a mile each way! For a 13 year old, I think that's brilliant! MG Quote
TedR Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 That's a very nice holiday story too. Your grandson has the right stuff engrained in him.....thoughtfulness, consideration.....congratulations MG. Quote

I suppose if you start out listening to that sort of music when you're young, you might return to it in later years. Er... I didn't MG Quote
seeline Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) Steve and Eydie were on the radio every Christmas when I was younger, but that doesn't mean that I bought any albums by them!!! MG, your grandson is the tops. Especially his checking all the "sell by" dates so carefully! Edited December 26, 2008 by seeline Quote
sjarrell Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) My sell by date is 50? Edit: Steve & Eydie Edited December 25, 2008 by sjarrell Quote
