Ours are being delivered by Tesco tonight. I finally managed to drag out of the wife how much it cost.......£325 on food! What the **** has she bought? And I bet that doesn't include bevvy.
And I notice it's being delivered when I'm at the match, so I can't go through it all. Nae wonder the number of marriage break ups increases at Christmas; she spends an absolute fortune every year.

Are you inviting 25 guests to dinner?!
We've spent £50 max for two including drink.

Unless it's a Fortnum & Mason hamper, how is it possible to spend over £300 on messages? Women and Christmas are a deadly combination!HIBERNIAN FC - ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY SINCE 1875

£325?!?! On food?! Jesus Christ, I’m pissed off on your behalf and I’m the frivolous one in the house.

I realise you can probably find a litre of vodka for £14, but good wine is better value than you might think.

Interesting point, although I don't drink spirits.
I only drink one type of wine and it costs £5 per bottle, a steal.
One bottle a day keeps me going!

😂 At least you’ll get a decent bevvy for your money. Have a great one forget about the money it’s Christmaaaaaaaaaaaas.

For £300 I'd be looking for Jamie Oliver to come round and cook it included in the price.
Sounds like you'll be having turkey for the rest of the month.

I live just down the road from Fort Kinnaird and the drive home has been horrendous for the last week. People driving like absolute maniacs, the skipping of the red lights at the Wisp crossroads is even worse than normal. There was a pretty bad accident there today, I'm only surprised it's taken so long.
Christmas spirit always seems in short supply from about the 20th onwards. I went a quick shop on Sunday morning for my part of the dinner, was busy but relatively stress free. All set now and glad I don't have to head to the shops again.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Next year I'm off to a country that doesn't have Christmas. The whole thing is a complete nonsense.

Me and the Mrs popped out last night to get the food shop in (or the messages...) took about an hour but I reckon I could have done it in half that if I'd gone on my own. Spent a fortune on not too much, but for a short while at least, the fridge and freezer are rammed full.

Going back to alcohol by volume comparisons:
Vodka etc Size Strength
750 ml 37.5 abv
Wine 750 ml 13 abv for example
Does this mean that one measure of vodka is the same as 3 measures of wine?

One glass of wine could be 175ml or 250ml or a pint if you drink it like my mate does ;-)
So in your example one shot of 25ml vodka is equivalent to 75ml of wine. So roughly a large glass of wine is equivalent to about 3 of those vodkas?

The problem with spirits when at home is that you dont (or at least I dont) take a single measure each time. I could easily take whats regarded as a triple measure each time I pour myself a drink. I might only have 5 glasses of vodka/rum/jack Daniel's in a night but that's 15 single measures. I do wonder how the bottle is so empty the next morning right enough. 😆
