Ooh ah just a lidl bit! Ooh ah a lidl bit more!

Good mid morning GoodGymmers! I made my way to see the lovely Ms M, who was a little bit nervous about the whole process. She didn't want to open the door (understandable) but also was worried I would run off with her £20 and not get her any shopping. I was alerted to this ahead of time, so I let her know how long I thought it would take me and was on my way!

Ms M said she preferred Lidl to other shops. She had given me a long list and I was worried I would not be able to get anything with the £20 that she had given me. However, Ms M is clearly a savvier shopper than I am and as a result I was pleasantly surprised by how much I could get. The only item I couldn't find was apple cider vinegar, so I left that for the Tesco which was on the way back home.

On my way back, I was in a reflective mood, so I thought about repentance. It took me back to another community mission(about a year ago), where I met up with 3 other goodgymmers. One of them offered me half her sandwich, because I looked hungry. As it turns out, I have resting hungry face, and I wasn't really hungry at this point. However, since the sandwich looked so delicious, I took the bigger half and ate it. Dear M (the sandwich giver), I'm sorry I took advantage of our friendship, but the sandwich was really good so I have no regrets, and would probably do it again.

I wandered back to Ms M's, grateful that I had a backpack, because she had asked for a 6 pack of 2 litre bottles of water. I placed the shopping on the floor with the change and called out to her. She emptied out the shopping and I reminded her to disinfect everything again. She was really touched that we were doing this and tried to give me the change as a rewards/tip, which I declined. As I was leaving, she asked me I would come back and help her again, which given how nervous she was in the beginning made me really happy and was the best thank you, I could get.

I then ran off home to charge my phone, and grab some lunch before I headed off for the third and final mission of the day.

Stay safe goodgymmers!
