After arriving at Mr G's house, he went through the list with me. As well as multiple types of chicken soup, he also requested five ready meals. But nothing spicy. Or with beef or chicken. Or with any mince in. Or pasta. Quite tricky.

We had a chat and it was decided that one veggie lasagne would be allowed. It was also deemed ok to buy vegetarian cottage pie and alike, as well as fish pie. Phew.

Off to the Sainsbury's where the vegetarian food was a bit lacking but luckily there was a sausage pie, veg cottage pie and a delicious looking fish pie (as well as the lesser-loved veg lasagne). Hooray.

Back to Mr G who was surprised I'd managed to carry everything back without the bag breaking as he'd recently fixed it but wasn't sure it'd hold (thanks for the warning...). I then took out the rubbish for him and went on my merry way.
