*Pootles in, rather enjoying new name*


*Lovely weekend with EDF pals, feel really quite chilled and its a late Monday afternoon*


*Wiggles nose and a yummy Mojito bursts into being*


*Wiggles nose again and Mrs Dobbin appears, with halter and donkey-sized maternity bra*


*Goes for stroll with Mrs Dobbin in the sunlit uplands of the Quite Rooms grounds*

*Wanders back in, looking vaguely shifty and dishevelled*


*Mrs Dobbin follows. Anybody looking closely would have spotted the old Apache trick of somebody walking behind the donkey, in step with the hind legs*


*Starts to whistle tunelessly yet with extreme innocence*

**** gathers missing asterisks, makes party decorations out of them, strings them across the quiet room and starts mixing bloody marys *

* muses as to whether should add some dragons breath blood *


* offers BB a non-pokey bloody mary as a welcome gift, waves bottle of chilli around, go onnnn *

Stands up and walks to waste paper bin, drops tattered tassles.


Thanks Mr PaleProctologist, but whispers that perhaps will not be dressing up on this occasion, although would rather like a "cat woman" suit. Takes out copy of Woolworths catalogue from enormous handbag and starts to browse...

*enters into being from a single point in time-space with a slight fwiiipp! noise*

*crawls under a blanket and sleeps fitfully*

*probably shouldn't have stopped in at the seepy tea on the way home last night for that last drink*

*possibly shouldn't have had whisky*

*admits it may have been the pint of Doom Bar at the very beginning of the night that did it*

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
