I think it might, Cheery :rotfl: To be fair, in each case I've quoted, the second holiday is next week

Sainsbo have most £1 slots, beanie, but Asda have a few as well - I think its well worth it, I really do, all the effort of getting there, getting all that stuff in the trolley, getting it through the checkout, in my case paying for a taxi because there's so much of it - £1 is a bargain price. Midweek, middle of the day.

I always decimate my lemon balm down to the ground.


It always reappears the following year.


Copiously, prolifically and wearing a smug face.

Totally agree KC - for us living in the middle of nowhere - it is a 40 minute round trip to the nearest supermarket - between the time and the cost of petrol and the fact that neither OH nor I can carry the bags easily - the cheapy slots are well worth it! We order for the same time slot each time so always have one of four lovely drivers who will even bring the baskets into the house so we can unpack.

Another one here who has booked a £1 delivery slot but mine is 9 - 11pm. They always come no later than 9.30pm and as I'm on my own there isn't loads to put away. I usually just do the fridge and freezer stuff and leave the tins etc for the morning.

That's excellent - we have a huge turnover in delivery guys here (and they're all guys, somehow) but they're all incredibly helpful. And unless I miss my bet, there's a few PhDs amongst them as well

I forgot about those, thanks teapot! I don't do those mostly because I'm not quite sure of alertness before the event - and to be honest, having the door wide open that late at night, the local insect population would have a field day, crawling and flying - it's a bit of a 'mare round here, to be honest. Possibly to do with the imitation mangrove swamp down the road I just have to accept my limitations sometimes

Good morning Right, the delivery isn't till this afternoon, so I need to carry on clearing the porch, opening the recent post, dishwasher, washing machine, garden navvying, scanning, all that sort of thing, repeating the domestic catchup. I'd quite like to go out tomorrow, but if its snow, it'll have to be something very local. I suppose even the bank and charity shop errands would be something. We'll see. Maybe I should go to the local airport for the day and pretend I'm flying off somewhere

Although I don't like flying, I do like airports, as there are so many people to watch, and you wonder where they are flying to, and why. People watching paradise!

Ooh yes, airports are like train stations (although I think they're more romantic!). Last time I was near your local airport Karma I was being a passenger on the back of a 100-year-old car on the dual carriageway through the middle of it - I did wonder what the people waiting for the buses at the airport must have thought! :rotfl:
