What happens when you have time off work? You get your days all confused! Which is what happened to me. I was sure it was a Monday which meant I was doing my GoodGym mission tomorrow, on Tuesday. In actual fact, it was a Tuesday, and the mission was supposed to be in a few hours... I rang Mrs S on Wednesday afternoon, and she was pleasantly surprised, as she had been expecting someone (me) yesterday!! I felt terrible, and couldn’t apologise enough. Mrs S didn’t mind, she was just glad someone was going to get her shopping.

I went to the Co-op up the road, getting soaking wet in the process (love the British spring time). Luckily I managed to get the milk, beans, butter, coffee, bread and sandwich meat, and the last tin of garden peas. Sadly Mrs S wanted two, but the Co-op man said that was the lot. One is better than none though, I suppose.

The final thing to locate were digestives, but there was an empty box where the McVities should have been. I didn’t want to take the biscuit, but here I was harassing the Co-op worker man again! Luckily, he came back with a big box filled with packets of biscuits, and I popped two into my basket and thanked him on behalf of Mrs S!

Shopping complete, and I dropped it off for Mrs S. Wetter late than never, eh?

Wetter late than ever, we've all done this Lucy and sounds like you looked after Mrs S very well.
