    They do it just after mid-night, that was a week ago when we grabbed our last slot. Haven't been able to get any more since.

    Anyone use Amazon Fresh - when do they release their new time slots ?

      Checked Morrisons and had 54,417 others ahead of me in a queue, with an estimated wsit time of 34 minutes.

      That's less than 4 seconds per customer, probably a wasted 34 minutes just to find out they've got no food or no delivery slots and get binned off their website so they can get on with informing the next customer there's nothing available.

        You just need to get out there and form a queue, hopefully it wont be raining too hard, and you will feel all the better for the exercise.

                Caution! The odd naughty word in this one, but still raises a giggle:

                  Polytunnels on ebay that were about £130 at the beginning of March are now going for £540 6M X 3M Fully Galvanised Steel PolyTunnel Frame Greenhouse Pollytunnel Tunnel 614405299732 | eBay

                  I've moved 2 back home because I don't want them full of stuff at my plot should the government introduce stricter lockdown (hints now being made) and everything would be wasted.

                  Just checked my Amazon Wish List and every single packet of seed is now unavailable, luckily I'd already bought them elsewhere, and hadn't edited my Wish List which I was using as a shopping list.

                  All vegetarian Tartex yeast pate sold out (aoart from some expensive small packs on both ebay and Amazon, luckily I got a 12 pack before the lockdown. When that goes it's home made mushroom and wallnut pate.

                    From lockdowned Ireland where I am ( hopefully) safe in my isolation cocoon in my beleaguered old age. .... The new laws re lockdown started Friday . One is that no one who is not resident on an island can go there, and some islands had already declared self -isolation. So when an unsuspecting yacht that had probably not heard the new laws out at sea started berthing on Tory Island.. Out rightly came the Gardaí and the Coastguards. Ferry services to one of the Aran isles have been severely limited and islanders begged not to make trips to the mainland. If the virus gets to such a confined community? Here we have one weekly shopping trip for a very few islanders. They bring the supplies in for those of us old ones who cannot go out. The response to the situation is impressive.Off to complete my email shopping list..

                          There are two people in this world guaranteed to "turn" my stomach, one is Trump, and the other is Blair.:doh: So I was somewhat aggravated to see that the Media thought, or got desperate enough, to ask Blair what the Government should do:wallbanging: He, of course, needs no encouragement to give the World the benefit of his wisdom and so gave out his "Godlike" opinions. I had to put the TV on mute, and go into the Kitchen to make a Mug of Tea while being harassed by the two Kittens.:cat-kittyandsmiley::coffee:

                            Hmm. It's a very tough call but I'd take Blair over Corbyn... but preferably they'd both have their mouths sewn shut. Trump is just daft and completely 'out there'

                              It's the same story on ebay, the sellers I prefer are missing and there are bidding wars over cabbage seed going for 5 times the RRP. I though I was well stocked with seeds but my lettuce sowings are not germinating, must have old seed packets. I just bought some fresh from Kings Seeds who still have stock of most things and their delivery charges are reasonable.
