Another day, another shopping mission. This time, I met up with Ms E's to collect her goodies list before hitting the shops. Ms E had very considerately thought of everything and, in addition to the list and the money, I was presented with a shopping bag to carry the items back.

After a quick check to confirm which items she required the most (all of them) and which could be substituted in case I couldn't find the requested brand (none of them), off I went to the local Tesco. My suggestion of going to the Sainsbury's I had spotted on my way there in case the Tesco was a little depleted was met with a "Oh no, dear, I don't like Sainsbury's"... so the Tesco would have to do.

And the Tesco did! I managed to find almost everything on the list, even the Pukka pie (not chicken)! The only elusive item were the kitchen rolls.

After returning the items and the change, I bid farewell to Ms E and took the opportunity to do another good deed by taking the rubbish bag which was placed outside her door to the bin on my way out. Result!
