Sorry Lizziel,  I misunderstood you, that is a bit mean to close their books to you for deliveries,  try again, they might have been on overload

Good Luck

As already mentioned - Sainsbury's are supposedly releasing delivery slots on Monday for over 70s. Below is an extract from the bulk email received from the CEO this week.

I have no idea how they know their on line customers (which I have been for some years) -- are over 70 though.

We will also help elderly and vulnerable customers access food online. From Monday 23rd March, our online customers who are over 70 years of age or have a disability will have priority access to online delivery slots. We will contact these customers in the coming days with more details.

Warm sun on the garden seat
Cherry tree coming in to bloom
Tadpoles wriggling in the pond
Birds in bright voice and plume
Wind blowing the cobwebs away
Scented flowers with colourful rays
The Spring Equinox reminds us
Of more carefree radiant days

I was just writing the same, Carol.

Thank you Roger. Just been in the garden myself, trimming hypericum & fuschia.

Knew an Irish lassie who made fadge! 

Also in the north of England, leading to the phrase often uttered by my grandfather:
'yer fadge is ower femmer' ('Your bread is rather crumbly')

When I started enquiring re shopping online at Tesco’s,seemingly I had an account already!
I have a Clubcard ,but can only think of  Dyson Roller ball vacuum I bought donkey’s years ago ,not from the store but a sort of warehouse but still Tesco’s . Can’t think that is it though.
It is as well as they might not have taken me on as a new online customer.
Anyway next Weds between 5 and 6 .
I can add any fresh stuff up to Tuesday  night 11 o’clock.

Well folks, the circles in the pool get wider and wider, and no end in sight .
I wonder what will happen to those seeking refuge and asylum?
They will be in poor health and a health hazard in themselves , the camps are already so bad , but can people who have travelled ,often  illegally and possibly through affected areas be accommodated .?

Poor souls, what a humanitarian crisis, for everyone.
Human kindness will be tested to the utmost .

I have just received an update from Sainsburys! Extract below;

Delivery Pass

As a loyal delivery pass customer we know that the last few days have been frustrating given the level of demand that has booked up all of our delivery slots - we would like to take this opportunity to apologise.

From Monday 23rd March, our existing online customers who are over 70 years of age, vulnerable or who have a disability will get priority access to online home delivery slots and access to click & collect services. We have been able to identify existing customers who are elderly, vulnerable and disabled through the data that we have about them and we will be contacting these customers in the coming days with more details. Once we have prioritised these customers we believe we will still have some capacity available next week for our delivery pass customers, which we will be able to make available in a phased way in the days following the 23rd March. We will be contacting all delivery pass customers over the course of next week to let you know how to shop with us.
