We usually get Sainsbury's on a Tues evening. I walked home from work this Tuesday and saw a brave Sainbury's delivery driver edging up Sydenham Hill in the snow - by the time I got home they phoned to say all their deliveries were cancelled. Walked to the Sainsbury's local the following morning and lugged back half a week's groceries on my back.
ocado cancelled yesterday's delivery due to the snow, but then the man actualy turned up only about an hour late. what a lovely guy. so maybe they will turn up as the delivery drivers seem pretty determined and the guy was put out that they were texting and emailing to cancel when he was still on his way. good luck x

I'm going to be loathed for this, but I got a leaflet in my letter box today advertising a local farm shop that delivers IN ALL WEATHERS (we're in the country nowadays and our snow is bad). They're coming tomorrow morning and their fayre includes chocolate cake! two fingers to you woosy supermarkets!


My gripe du jour is how irritating it is to breastfeed through layers and layers of clothes.... I can't even find my boobs nowadays!

Oh my goodness - have HUGE Christmas delivery due on Tuesday (catering for 9 on the big day, and 7 on Christmas Eve).


I hope they turn up, otherwise I am going to be doing an emergency dash at some unlikely hour when hopefully the supermarket isn't too packed.


Those who use Ocado, have you seen they are offering their annual delivery pass for about ?40 at the moment (?70 off the normal price)....free delivery all year once signed up - wooo hoo....

    • There are two causes for this problem Β  The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure. Β  The second issue is electrification. Β  Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.Β  Β  That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.Β 
    • Pretentious status vehicles.Β  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.Β  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum.Β 
    • I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.Β  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.Β  Dean RichardsΒ  07888 651798 Β
