    Does anyone know the situation with getting government food parcels delivered to the 70 and over category if their partner is under 70? My Dad turns 70 this weekend putting him in vulnerable group. But my mam is 68. Does that make them null and void on the assistance front? Does he need to...

    This is my plan too with the new freezer. I would rather have fish pies, but, currently, it would have been tricky buying boil in the bag fish in sauce. I could just do it the old way and make my own white sauce/cheese sauce with my bag of frozen fish, but I like to keep those for homemade...

    No I haven’t ordered from them for many years Jem. I didn’t even know I had a 14 year old online account lol. But I do shop there; or should I say my Mam shopped there for me. But no they don’t seem to mind, or check if we ordered recently online with them, I just told him my carer used to shop...

    Yes exactly the same thing happened to me, so I’ve been on a spud diet too :laugh: Jacket potatoes, boiled potatoes, fritters made with leftover boiled potatoes, and for the overly sprouty/slightly spongey ones I turned into mashed potato to use on a homemade fish pie.

    They do seem to be very consistent with the contents, yours is very similar to mine. Though I’d rather have had pitta breads, than a cucumber (the cucumber is irking me somewhat :cautious:) The chicken I nearly lost as it was right on its use by date and I also lost 80% of the carrots (they...

    Super :cautious: I was hoping with it being a chest freezer it wouldn’t be as bad, though I have no experience of chest freezers. I guess I psychically knew I was gonna need a few days grace when I ordered those frozen meals. They’re arriving on Wednesday (it was Tues but got put back because...

    Wow, that was good timing. I think someone’s looking over me today. Ex arrived to help getting freezer up the stairs. It’s in huge polystyrene packaging and weighs a ton. I literally have no idea how I would have helped him get it upstairs. It’s safe to say both me and the freezer would have...

    Oh my god, I’ve done it. I have no idea how but I actually made the call. That was excruciating. It’ll take 24 hours to kick in. He asked if I can get to a shop myself, if I have anyone at all to help etc. I’m so relieved this is one of the few supermarkets I’ve had a long term account with...

    Really? They are actually acknowledging people with ME? Is it just any contact phone number? Or a special one? I have no idea when I’ll be able into make the call but I really don’t want to be queuing for hours in a wrong phone queue. I’m currently psyching myself up for the 2-3 hour phone queue...

    Iceland does indeed include a pop up asking if we’re vulnerable... before guiding us to the no delivery slots page :cautious: or at least that has been my experience so far

    Was the text from superfood? Or the courier/Royal Mail? As courier texts usually don’t name the customer but companies we’ve bought from often do
