Having been impressed with the prices and so on at Swindon's massive Asda/Wal-Mart megastore, we decide to get our week's shopping delivered from Asda for a change. Their delivery charge is certainly cheaper than Sainsbury's - but the fact that we've never shopped there before hampers our decision-making and we take a lot of gambles on a lot of products. It does give the weekly grocery delivery that extra touch of surprise though, and so tonight I sit at home waiting for it to turn up while K gets on with her dressmaking course.
They're supposed to be here between 7 and 9, which is a bit annoying as I need them to get here so I can make dinner - and I'm already hungry when I get in from work. I try and get on with a little writing, but needless to say the van finally turns up just as I sit down to watch University Challenge, meaning that I not only miss the show and miss recording my score, but also that I miss the Panorama show on FIFA corruption that I'd been looking forward to as I'm now cooking curry.
No matter, I watch a couple of episodes of South Park instead (not quite as serious or thought-provoking perhaps) while chopping onions and peppers and getting my head round the strange new Asda products. Everything seems to have turned up OK - apart from the fact that we seem to have accidentally ordered a tiny loaf of bread. The website, I'm sure, should display items at actual size to avoid any such mishaps in the future.
