So, I'm still in love

with grocery shopping online!!! Got my order today and before it was delivered the lovely lady at Tescos phoned to tell me it would be up to an hour late. It was, the delivery driver told me to phone them and get a refund on the delivery. Now I'm getting a £4.75 refund and the £1.68 they didn't give me credit for last week for the sunflower oil I didn't want as the substitution for the veggie oil I wanted.

It's bliss to have my cupboards and both the big freezer and the fridge/freezer in the kitchen filled up. Now I have to find a nice butchers and get some fresh meat in the freezer, then I will be a very happy women. LOL It doesn't take much to please me does it?

0.2

Is my favourite number. Went with hubby to see the prostrate cancer consultant and that was his PSA number. It's stayed at that number for the last three visits. Six months until his next check up.

While we were in Bury St. Edmunds we decided to drive into the town proper and walk around the market, go to the bank and post office. Surprise, surprise I enjoyed my walk around the market bought myself a new winter coat/jacket, a new fleece and nightie. Soooo enjoyed lunch at Burger King, was almost as good as the American Burger King, oh so very yummy. Hubby then drove me to Sudbury to Farm foods and I picked up six boxes for frozen garlic/breaded shrimp that I fry in a little olive oil and serve with boiled new potatoes and peas, omg they are a tiny taste of heaven gigggle.

We were out the door at just before 11 and had an hour plus wait at the hospital and we didn't get home until well after 4pm. I was exhausted and of course my back was killing me. Grrr I felt so good that I didn't take my handy dandy scooter with us. So I spent most of today sitting down in between doing 5 loads of laundry. Dinner is easy peasy tonight, shove in the oven, heat and eat. Liver and bacon for hubby and beef stew and duplings for me.

Tomorrow we head to Haverhill to go to the bank again to put some money in and pay a couple of bills then we need to hang around and get to Clair by 2pm so I can take the library books back and pick up the 8 or so I have ordered. A happy weekend of reading is in my future.

Maybe we'll go to the pub on Saturday to see what the new owner is like.

My own Little Rascal


was delivered on Thursday or Friday, I forget which day it was. Oh, Ohhhh it's bright, red and shiny, has a comfortable seat takes the bumps on the pavement well bbbbbumpy. Oh and it's bright shiny red!!!!! I've used it twice to go to the village shop and no aching back when I got home. I still have to take Spike for his short walk on my own two legs at least five days a week just so the blood is forced through new veins made by my body so I don't lose the old leg. I'm kind of fond of it ya know. But with the wonders of modern drugs I can just about manage that even if I walk like I'm 90 by the time I get back LOL.
I just can't wait until the beginning of next month when we go shopping in Cambridge or Bury St. Edmunds. Heh I'll be able to go in each and every shop if I want to. Hmmm I wonder if they are all disabled friendly like they are supposed to be?

I love grocery shopping online!

Oh yes, this is the only way to go. The delivery was early, every thing was there and they only made two substitutions. Four huge crates that I get to keep until next time, am I the lucky one eh? Thankfully they fit into my pantry so they aren't in my way.

Love it, going to do it again.

I did it!

First time ever that I have ordered groceries online. My delivery is tomorrow between 12 noon and 2pm. Oh my goodness I am no longer a grocery shopping online order virgin.

Of course I forgot bin bags, vegetable oil and a couple of other things but I've been telling hubby we're going to start doing this about every two weeks. Heh, now all I have to do is keep the money in the bank and NOT order treats for us like I did this time. Oh and keep a shopping list so I don't forget things like bin bags and cooking oil. But I did remember to order Cadburys chocolate, mince pies and sea salt and black pepper crisps:-)
