Another happy day on the fens , himself and the cuckoo have taken themselves fishing so im doing not a lot today just a potter around sort of day , im so tired i may be feet up and fall asleep with some inane rubbish on the TV day . Yesterday turned out a much better day , the third son biked 30 miles to see us for the first time in months , more to ask me if i could get the mould out of his very expensive motorbike jacket , hed left it in his boot and the boot had leaked , nothing what half a gallon of white vinegar couldnt tackle in the washer , i struggled to get it in the washer hes such a big lad , he will pop back sometime next week for it, i cant figure out how to get all the armour and liners into it . He was made redundant back in March and his landlord has dropped his rent down to Housing Benefit level till hes working again because hes a good reliable tenant , plus hes doing a bit of work for the landlord here and there . Hes been very quiet of late so i had already gathered hed found a girlfriend but was keeping it quiet . Watching young Baldrick prancing around he did comment that he was glad his girlfriend had a couple of small kids as he wouldnt dare have any of his own . Hes fortunate that hes the least affected of the males in his mothers family apart from having cataracts he just has a few very minor joint problems . Its a syndrome that comes as a lot of letters and numbers , females are carriers and have Ehlers Danlos and early onset dementia to look forward to , males can have anything from cataracts to severe autisms ,EDS and loads more goodies but have a much lower rate of passing it on. In this day and age why would anyone plan to have children without genetic screening at least .knowing this is in the family .
So the sofa and the TV remote are calling , day of sloth and working out a very cheap online shopping list . Tesco gripe , they sent me some £8 off a £40 spend vouchers which is a very useful amount , sadly they are only to be used instore , i havent ventured into Tesco since March , mainly because by the time ive queued for ages i need the loo. They abandoned the village back in March for online shopping and have only just appeared again . Morrisons continue to be dire online, this week we got no milk , no eggs no meat its like a lottery.
My friend phoned Morrisons to complain about the lack of fresh stuff in her delivery. She asked if the shop it came from had no meat or eggs, they said of course it does but we give priority to footfall rather than delivery! This situation has taught these companies zilch!!Relax and enjoy your sloth day you deserve it. X
ReplyDeletei complained and they told me i needed to order there overpriced boxes that contain bugger all we would use
DeleteMy friend has her deliveries from Iceland. She says she gets everything she wants, and doesn't have to wait long for it to arrive.
ReplyDeletesadly iceland dont deliver to our postcode , plus tesco stopped during lockdown and we could only get morrisons and they are crap and get ever worse
DeleteTesco have been kind to us, hubby has a health condition so we got a guaranteed slot once a week during the lockdown. We weren't on the list though, had to ask but they took care of it. Deliveries were whenever on a given day which was fine. my own YB spends a lot of time browsing in there and impulse shopping, some kind of hobby I think but it's handy if we need something. He just sold his car so not quite so handy now though. Hope you enjoyed your day slumped in front of the telly, I prefer slumped in the garden myself :)
ReplyDeletewe are very rural and as soon as lockdown started Tesco wernt delivering in this area , nor was anyone else but morrisons
DeleteThings don't sound too bad at the moment for you thank goodness and I hope you can have more sofa days to recharge your batteries-you deserve to x
ReplyDeleteFound that the local farm shop and butchers were more than willing to deliver in our rural area. Prices were comparable to Sainsburys who had no slots and the meat was better quality. Strangely as it was better eg firmer and less fat we actually used less so that made up for any higher price. Did get 2 weeks meet all in one go so being £30 to £40 order they were happy to come out and they always have eggs and milk too!
