It's getting worse trying to order online.

Booked a delivery and did some shopping on my list and I turned PC off cos I was going to bed(nearly midnight).

Opened my order the next day and Morrisons had taken it all off and cancelled the delivery.

Now there are no delivery slots on the site and everything is restricted,bread,milk,butter.


It's bloody disgusting that being an Pensioner that I can't get a delivery of food which is my monthly shop and used it every month for the last 7 years.

I cannot get out as years ago I broke my back and cannot walk very far without pain.

Been on the phone to them for the last 25 minutes and no one answering.

Sue I made an order out for Asda a week ago for delivery 30th March it has gone down by half a lot not available so added some things today will have to keep checking it's not nice .I have Sent you message Barbara

Our local ALDI is now asking all customers to wear masks and gloves; it was so embarrassing, everyone else was fully dressed :-S

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

OH did the weekly grocery shopping this afternoon .............. we use our own bags, but the cashier would not pack them as usual. Nor was OH allowed to pack them.

She had to pack ALL items into plastic bags.

I lost count as I unpacked them at home. I think it was 9 plastic bags :-| :-| :-|

Yes, as are supposed to be phasing out plastic bags by April 1st. Most stores have already done so or are charging for them. But Sobeys, the group that now owns Canada Safeway, declared they would carry on using free plastic bags until ?????

I'm not even sure they were intending to stop on April 1st ............ probably looking at challenging the new by law!


Meat counters practically bare, only small amounts of fish, even imitation crab was sold out and that rarely happens!! Potatoes in short supply, some milk out of stock.

Sylvia, when we returned to England and I did my first supermarket shop, as I had become used to packers at every check-out, I stood looking around, smiling and chatting - oblivious to the huge number of items piling up. Only when I reached into my purse did it dawn on me that no packers were employed here.

Quickly apologising to everyone in the queue, I packed.

What a lovely bunch of people because not one tutted or made any derogatory comment about strange women at all. :-D


Some news and I've asked Allan whether it's true: Oz scientists have successfully treated some CV19 victims.

Responded on the other thread, JoyLouise :-)

Thanks Allan.

Ordered toilet paper online from Sainsbury’s as I need it. I’m not stockpiling and yet they now have none. Mr Owl drives but I don’t and he’s burst discs in his back so can’t drive at the moment. There’s only so much I can carry home and I’m getting utterly frustrated at the stockpilers taking essentials.

Been ordering on line Pound shop they deliver up & down the country I have checked on line it can take 10days for delivery some essential items avaliable .might be worth a try if you need anything Barbara
