Plague 73

 Well i continue as itch bitchy old biddy , irritation is a symptom of B12 deficiency . Got a phonecall from the GPs receptionist saying they may be able to see me in a couple of weeks when the blood test fiasco is supposed to be resolved ...ho hum  by that time there will doubtless be other problems.  In the real world im just pottering around at home looking bored , lots of stuff to do outside but its wet and muddy out there so not feeling it im afraid .  Yet more bleedin problems with my Morrisons deliveries they have changed the date the day before the delivery this time . currently we can only get deliveries after 10pm at night , still lots of stuff out of stock as usual , complain yet again only to get a reply about the wonderful expensive boxes we can have delivered , sorry folks i dont eat a lot of mince , jarred sauces or endless pasta .  Why not change to a different supermarket ? lots dont deliver out here , those that do stop delivering out of town if they are busy , since March we have had a single Tesco delivery slot .  So it looks like i will have to struggle round Lidl next week for a bulk shop , ive run the milk and bottled water down as it was coming up to its use by date , at least i dont need potatoes for the foreseeable future our last Morrisons order had substituted all the stuff that was missing with bags of potatoes , rather odd but something useful for a change which will last us till xmas at least .  Another weird question why have swedes suddenly become expensive ?  Which celebrity chef has conjured up some ridiculous recipe for them ?

  1. My sisters surgery put out a message on FB about no testing due to reagent shortages. It comes after a long list of other stuff they stopped doing. I hope they sort you soon. Itching is awful.

  2. Sorry to hear you're still suffering, Kate. The shopping fiasco is ridiculous.

  3. Every week the Sainsbury delivery staff and I have a conversation about substitutions. I assert they need to employ people who cook so they know if you need marg, soap is not a good substitute, but butter may be. The drivers assert they just need to employ people with brains. Obviously drivers get fed up with doing returns.

  4. Have you considered purchasing Vit B12 over the counter. Taking the maximum number of tablets might help with some of the symptoms.
