Ms. F was left without GoodGym shopping support for 2.5 weeks and built up a formidable list for me. The order featured discounted Easter specials: hot cross buns.

The next dinner plans of Ms. F required me to decide between buying frozen versus fresh prawns (we agreed that frozen are preferred unless they are over 4 pounds) and finding seafood sauce. For the latter I had to seek the welcome desk help as I had no idea where to look for such sauce.

The Waitrose store colleagues from the customer service had an extra visit from me - I needed to redeem a couple of coupons the cashier couldn't scan at the till. I usually take photos of the vouchers displayed in the app on Ms. F's phone. Maybe the quality of my photography went down since the last visit! Anyway, I successfully redeemed £1 that rightly belonged to Ms. F as a voucherholder.

It was not the end of Kash's adventures with cash. I went slightly over £30 budget so, Ms. F and I ended up counting the change she owed me. She had coins of very small denominations, so it took us a while to count the penny coins like in good ol' days!

I bought Ms. F a smaller notebook, so hopefully next time she won't have space on a page to go too creative with her list and I won't run into trouble!
