I've been using home delivery from supermarkets for years and this year is the first time I have been unable to book a Christmas slot with anyone. M&S had also closed their Christmas ordering when I tried to do it.
I don't drive so this is a real problem. I have a slot for this Friday, as usual, but will have to get two weeks shopping then and go out to buy all fresh stuff next week and carry home myself, so it will be several trips.
Why no book recommendations on Mumsnet.
