I am not going home but I need to share something!
I miss online shopping at tescos and sainsburys.
My kiddies are pretty young and a trip to the supermarket is not all that much fun anymore. I can pick up a few things no problem but to concentrate on a full shop thats another matter. I know I have to get over it (its wont be that hard trust me) and everyone else manages just fine but I know it would help me out if I could shop online. I am sure I could save some money by shopping properly and would also be able to plan better and watch the cents etc.
Hubby works 6 days and evenings at the moment so will have to make do with doing it just like everyone else.
I obviously realise its not that big a deal but do appreciate just how good the supermarkets were in England.

The problem with online shopping though is you never get quite what you want.
I had put a 40p bag of peanuts on my list once. they didn't have any so they substituted with a £2.50 bag of 'special' nuts
I prefer to leave the kids with OH and go shopping in the evening.

Re: I am not going home but I need to share something!
I just hate the fact that I can't think about what I want to buy and its always a rush. I am sure I just grab things. Often end up missing something because I have to hit the check out before it all goes badly wrong.
Perhaps I should re-think my rules of not allowing the kids to eat in the trolley etc!!!!

I must admit I find it pretty inconsiderate of the Australians not to have a Tescos or Sainsburys. They tempt us across here with all those great programmes on BBC then we find they are all foreigners. In the words of Catherine Tate all I can say is...."The Dirty Bastards"

Re: I am not going home but I need to share something!
Now the Australia version. How are you doing? Fine thanks. Been up to much. No just the normal. Oh ok. Bleep...............Is it strange having your bags packed for? I hear they don't in England Bleep............... Bleep.......... Ah bless isn't he blonde.............bleep............Do they still nap........ bleep. I haven't put in my responses or we will be hear for ever!!!!
Of course its very nice and when you don't know any body in the begining its nice to just speak to someone other than the kids but now I need to get it done quick before the 19 month old climbs out of the trolley and breaks his neck and the 3 year is whinging because she's seen all the food and wants it!!!!
I hope you guys don't take this too seriously I'm not but often text can come across the wrong way on here.

Just an idea Why dont you make a list????? and then get the kids to help you to??? My kids love doing that!! Seems to make the trip quicker and not so painful!!
Love the example of the UK vs Oz check out girl, I SOOOOOOO wanna pack my own bags again!!! Because If I get home one more time and the bread is squashed I will return to the store and ram it up her nose!!!
