You want that level to be far higher than 50 Pineapple.

Elaine sorry to be the doomsayer but there is a case in Blaenavon juniors and West Mon secondary...... that's a bit too near for comfort and doesn't bode well for here.

Well I can add Cwmbran High to that as a friend of my son is having to isolate. So far St Albans havent had a case but I feel its only a matter of time. I hear tonight Torfaen is going into lock down from tomorrow at 6 pm. I am literally on the border with Monmouthshire so I am still lock down free unless they decide to do a South Wales or whole Wales lockdown.
Today I decided to stuff the news and go on a fun ride with my friends ( on horses). Lets face it we are at least two metres in the air and outside so unlikely to infect anyone. I have avoided the news all weekend until this evening as it was getting so doomsday like and constantly repeating covid figures. I am pretty much sorted for lock down, I will do my usual shop tomorrow, I am out of wine!!!! I will buy my usual amount and add a couple of things for preps. Not being frivolous but , to hell with it, I am buying extra beer, cider, wine, chocolate and ice cream!

On Monday I did my initial A$da order, to book the slot on Thursday. My Dad fancied some lentil soup for a change so I put a couple of tins in the order. Tuesday, I added both DD's orders to ours and Dad's, only to be told the soup wasn't available. So I changed them to lentil and bacon soup. Thursday morning I got the email receipt, with a sub for the lentil and bacon soup. Guess what? The sub was what I had wanted in the first place! You just couldn't make it up. 😅

Yesterday I started to amend my Tesco order, and several things I'd put on it were unavailable  (first time for a while). For some reason I closed the page down without finishing,  and when I went back to it today it was still showing the changing your order screen, but all except one of the previously unavailable items were back on.

 If I'd finished amending the order yesterday I would have had to remove/replace those items. Very hit and miss.

Those with A$da priority, has anyone had an email saying they are extending it? I haven't had one, need to check with my Dad but don't want to worry him unnecessary as he is not great with technology.

Possibly worth laying off the bacon for a bit as one of the big factories has had a mass outbreak 🙁

No email but on my account the priority delivery pass shows as being extended to 31st March 2021

Thank you, just checked mine too.

My A$da account this morning showed my slot for next week as already reserved with my priority pass. I've just checked again and my delivery/priority pass has been extended to 31 March 2021 and no charge.
Such a relief as I'm shopping for four households, DH and me, Dad, DD1, and DD2, all in separate houses, and all with health issues so don't want to go near a supermarket yet!

The site says there will be a charge.

'If you had already registered and have an active Priority Customer delivery pass, we have extended it until 31st March 2021. However, from 1st November some changes will apply, including slot pricing and a small fee for orders under £40'.

So Tesco and Morrisons have recently upped their charges round here, Asda is following and that only leaves Sainsburys in this area. I can still get a delivery for £1 delivery charge with them but for how long? I guess business is flowing in now - no incentive to keep charges down. .
