Sorry to hear you have been unwell candygirl 🙁 hope it is nothing serious 🤞 & that you are on the mend.
I’m fine, just a bit disappointed in the poor quality vegetables 😔 

I got a lot of dodgy veg in my Morries delivery: Soggy carrots, wilted salad bag n sprouted spuds .I cba taking them back, but might ring them 🙄

Hope you were successful candygirl 🤞
Last week was a good week for me - 20p of potato salad binned. ALL los used up being incorporated into meals within 2 days.

Brilliant Mrs SD.  Can't moan about 20p worth of waste.

My week does not finish until tomorrow but my bananas had cuts, split skin, and would have been put in the bin by me the day before, My spinach had been put in the bottom of a bag with bottle of bleach, cleaning spray, and other heavy thing was bruised beyond use. I have used up some of my frozen. I'm supposed to give them back to the driver but they are gone when you open the door, If I call them I get the same foreign woman with a very thick accent, I cannot understand her and she cannot understand me. I'm deaf with lots of sounds missing. If they are in the same state tomorrow I will complain. I did throw out a carton of humus. I found it behind something larger when looking for something else. It was a month out of date, I thought that was a bit too late.

If it's possible I'd email them and explain why you can't phone.  They should reinburse you for the things that are no good. X

I can only use the phone.

I did very badly yesterday.

Fancied a particular pizza from a particular place, but they aren't operating at the moment, so I tried another place and got one delivered...a bit of a risk as I don't normally eat pizza, but had got my mouth watering thinking about the good place and the lovely four cheese one they do. Proper Italians cooking proper pizza in proper Italian pizza ovens.

Well, the substitute pizza was  horrible. I hardly ate any before I gave up on it, and that's most unlike me.
I thought I might try heating up the rest today to see if it was any better, but just couldn't face it, so it will have to go in the food waste bin, as it's not suitable for the  compost.

Not only that, but it was £13 plus £4 delivery. ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
What a waste.

Is there anyone you can ask to phone up and complain for you?  Where did you get them from?

nursemaggie

No one to phone. Asd* they were the only ones willing to deliver I am shielding. I shall complain this week if they are as bad, been having them since March. I don't normally shop there. Morrisons would only send boxes for a fixed price. Saw one opened on YouTube the only thing I would have used in it was a cucumber. £35 was a bit expensive for cucumber.
