Everything bar the soap
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in York.
- Monday, 30th of March 2020
I gave Mr E a call to check he had his shopping list ready to collect amd was okay for me to come as I was going to be slightly early coming straight from another mission. When I arrived Mr E was stood waiting at the door with his list.
Although it was a long list (a full sheet of A4) it was well thought out budgetted and consisted mainly of essentials. I opted for the slightly further trip to Morrisons to give me the best chance of getting everything on the list. With a small trolley I managed to get everything Mr E had requested, except the soap as the shelves were empty!
After bagging up I set off back to Mr E's with a shopping bag in each hand. It was a mix of slow jogging and quick walking. With 6 pints of milk, pasta and some tins (among other items) the bags were fairly heavy for the 1 mile journey, however, it was a good workout.
I called ahead to Mr E to let him know I'd be a couple of minutes and would put the shopping on his doorstep. He came out shortly after I'd got there, I explained about the soap which he understood and we said our goodbyes.
