Thanks @rtandon27i don't shop in Tesco's that often and I wasn't aware of this feature, thank you for highlighting it. Your sharing of knowledge will save me from some pointless trips 🤗

Be careful with that. It uses the delivery store & even though I have a larger store closer it uses one which is almost 20 miles further away. Have you checked out the clubcard challenges. Some of those can be quite good.

I only found out about the delivery store when I was post op & couldn't drive. I couldn't understand why my normal store always had something in whereas in 5 orders they could never deliver.

We (OH has an account) but no you do not need to be logged in as I'm on my work computer currently and not logged in - i just clicked on store locator then found my local store then clicked on check stock for that local store - only glitch was that I had to enable 3rd party cookies as my work browser is finicky!

(You could also download the app - but I was trying not to recommend that as I know you are a bigger fan of a computer websites than mobile apps.)

ETA - try https://www.tesco.com/store-locator/

Ah, it comes up on the store locator as 'check stock' but then directs me to the apps page. There doesn't seem to be a way of opening on F&F clothing, and then being able to apply that to your selected store - not necessarily local, say if you wanted something on holiday or when you were out and about. I'm not enough of a MrT shopper to bother with the app. Some of their clothes are good - they used to be really good, but their quality has dropped off - but I don't get enough stuff from there to warrant having the app.

Thanks for mentioning it tho rt - as if it helps anyone else, then that's 👍 isn't it 😁 And I promise if I will not moan if I traipse over to a MrT in future, and they are OOS of what I was after. I mean technically the local MrT didn't have the clothes I was after, and the one across the way did. I also picked up the right size in a MrT when we went out on Sunday - but they only had one pack in the size I needed.

Would the relevant T shop pick up the phone if you rang them to check stock?

Maybe, but I rather suspect you'd be advised to use the app? I know I'm a luddite, I just have to try to find stock when I can - and I've got enough of the one set now.

Tea was Ramja Masala, rice, sweetcorn and carrots. The curry and rice was out of the freezer, and it was a colourful plate.

I got the washing in at around 4pm. Most things were dry, albeit not bone dry. But they're on the airer and should be dry by the morning. I put everything away from yesterday's wash.

Can't think of anything else MSE that I've done today. I have updated my siggie figgie.

Ta for popping in. Greying X

Telephine CS can not contact store CS or couldn't last year & any calls went to the HO, whatever number you call. They can also only put things on the shelves as HO instructs & did you know that cheese is no longer a dairy product so is shelved after cooked meat not before.

Today I channelled my inner Greying and put the first load of the year out on the line, it didn't go out as early as I would of liked, but it was on the line for 4 hours. When it was brought in the laundry was dry enough that I would have put it in the airing cupboard if we had one, instead it is on the airer in an unheated instead room. No need to use the dehumidifier either.

Most days this year we have had rain and or fog for at least a significant part of the day.

Aw, that's grand - did you have any sunshine? It's been a most wonderful spring day here, we're so lucky. I've only just realised that the heating isn't on. Gosh - very grateful for every penny being saved at the mo.

Yes, intermittent sunshine.

The laundry smells so fresh ☺️
