Do you get groceries delivered when you shop online? I dont know many people that do that only of they just cant get to the shops.
Yes. There are transport difficulties here as my mother is the only one who can drive to the shops. The nearest to me is a garage about 1 mile away which is OK for odds and ends but relatively expensive. The nearest supermarkets are about 3 miles away. Also at 80, she doesn't want to be pushing trolleys round and loading them into the car. My own problems include being prone to anxiety attacks in places like that...
All the same, in easier circumstances, provided there was a time someone was going to be in to be able to accept the delivery, I'm pretty sure we'd still opt to have the main weekly shop delivered.
I think the time slot we usually take costs about £2. When you compare that to the cost of petrol to get to and fro the supermarket, the hassle of getting through town in the summer, the hassle of parking, the time it takes, etc. IMO that makes the£2 cost very good value for money.
Dad mows the lawns although I dont like it in summer when the whole neighbour hood mows their lawns esp on weekends what a racket.
I don't have that problem here. The only other mowers I hear come from a semi close to us and I don't think there's been a time in my memory where all 3 mowers (our round the back is done by a gardener who does 1 hr per week here) have been going at once.
