I hadn't thought of that, because of the "collect" part, but again, I might have the means, soon, to work out a taxi or something to collect?
My area also run a minibus shopping service, but up until now I haven't been eligible to join.
I'm not sure I could walk around a supermarket at the minute, but I could work on that as a goal.
I was thinking that if you are going to have click and collect you might as well have it delivered, though I suppose that if you are collecting that as you would be there you could refuse some item and then go into the store and choose something yourself, while still not having to have gone round the store getting most of it.
And please bear in mind that you will need to get the shopping home.
How are taxi drivers about helping? Is humping stuff for the customer regarded as part of the job or is it that some will do it and others take the line that they are a driver not a porter?
Would a taxi driver see you safely into your home or just want to drop you off at kerbside, or does it vary depending upon customer need and driver attitude?
KatieKnitSocks, pleased you are fit and healthy on your vegan diet. I know of only four vegans who all have stomach problems. It could be bad dietary choices, coincidence I don't know. I think the best thing for everyone is to have a conscience when shopping, it was indeed Shirey Porter I was referring to, we should all look into who owns these big stores, how they treat thrum staff etc.
It must be do hard Stardreamer on your diet, could you not cook and purée vegetables etc and freeze in portions. I never eat take aways or ready cooked meals, If I want an instant meal, it is usually an omelette or pasta with salmon and peas and some creme fraiche or a jacket potato with baked beans and melted cheese., I want to know what I am eating. Each week I cook enough soup to last the week, but as a non vegetarian, I do add a chicken portion, not always, I use a lentils and pearl barley for added texture and vitamins. I use marmite, not a lot.
I use cotton bags that are now very old but still serviceable, one advertising a flower show I went to in 2012.
Did you see that man in Wales who has developed a plant that turns used nappies into road dry surfacing equipment. That always been a bugbear to me, all my grandchildren used them, but I never said anything, it wouldn't have made any difference, so I think that guy deserves a medal.
