Phew!!!!! He was lovely!! At first I thought he was going to meet me on the middle floor as a compromise, but then he carried the bags up the rest of the way. He said there’s also a free Easter egg from Tesco’s in it :woot: ETA: all that saved energy can go into turning my home into a fish...

Bollocks, it’s here now at 10.30am with zero warning :banghead:

Tesco’s opened up another priority slot for me for tomorrow. 1 slot available. however when I looked at the normal 1 hour fixed delivery slots there are a few available pretty much every single day for the next week. This is is the first time in a month I have seen lots of slots available...

I really hope so

The delivery slot is between 11 and 7pm. Kinda hoping it comes during the early portion as I literally may need all day to get this done. I wouldn’t even bother explaining to them that I’m ill, they usually take one look at me with an expression that says ‘piss off there’s nothing wrong with...

I’m starting to worry about my Tesco delivery tomorrow, not knowing if they will bring the shopping upstairs or not. In the fine print, it mentions the social distancing, and that for people who live in flats we will still deliver to your front door, then 2 paragraphs down, it mentions that...

Thank you for clarifying that conundrum so succinctly :laugh:

If people are being pulled and checked for unnecessary items bought... why are the people being punished? Why instead is the supermarket not being punished for selling those frowned upon items in the first place and told to remove them so people ‘can’t’ buy them. How the hell are people...

Northamptonshire’s chief constable Nick Aderly said this. ‘We will not at this stage be setting up road blocks, we will not at this stage begin to Marshall supermarkets and check the items in baskets and trolleys for unnecessary items. But again be under no illusion if people do not heed the...

Its great that you got it @Simbindi :) not great that it’s still of no use right now :banghead: it’s looking like I was very lucky to get my slot. I’m now debating whether to use my last tenner (for a few days) and add a few extra things on seeing as the government food parcel cannot be relied...

Just checked the Tescos website, and my bread flour became unavailable but have picked a smaller bag substitute. I was checking the priority slots out of curiosity and there’s no more available for the next few weeks so I was bloody lucky it seems to get the one I did. My government food parcel...

That’s interesting. Maybe it’s because they’re a local smaller company or literally don’t have enough during this crisis. Here’s hoping there’s no pilfering going on ie. the young volunteer delivery guy. It may be worth sending a photo to the social worker to query it. I did text her an hour...

The social worker who organised it said the food parcels get delivered weekly until I inform them that they are no longer needed, or the crisis comes to an end. Definitely wasn’t a weeks supply of food, I was interested to see what this next one would be like to compare

Yeah I’ve done it around 10 times now. On average once a year. Can’t turn it off though as the plugs are behind my fridge and freezer so I just have to turn it to lowest/warmest temp. Usually during rush jobs, I use a combination of pans of boiling water inside combined with hair dryer but I’m...

Kinda pleased I got the delivery slot; because that government charity food parcel hasn’t arrived today yet :thumbsdown: it arrived at 10.30am last Friday.

exactly the same as mine :laugh: except now I also have a chest freezer they don’t need to be as small. I’m in love with my chest freezer, humming happily away to itself in the corner of my bedroom :) ETA: I’m going to use this rare opportunity to defrost my old freezer while the new one is...

All this talk of mash has made me think of bubble and squeak :) I was wondering what I could turn the Morrison’s food box cabbage into :thumbup:

ooo that’s good, hopefully I’ll receive mine too

Just tested out Tesco’s and it worked! My first ever delivery slot in a month :) Top option is ‘1 hour slot’ bottom option is ‘priority’ Delivery is this Sunday :) what a very strange feeling! Being able to choose the food that I want and buy my usual over the counter painkillers. That was...

People on neighbourhood app keep commenting about Iceland spaces popping up, loads available etc. Every time I look however; nothing. I decided to type in a postcode from a neighbouring town and lo and behold... there they were... tons of available slots :banghead: for a town that is 1 mile...
