OK I’ve slated TESCOs for my delivery "experience" this
morning so in the interest of fairness and balance, on the

freezer as n when needed. Is this a new thing or am I just
really slow on the uptake (as my teachers used to say!)
Does this mean, no more stabbing myself in the palm so

my hand whilst straining my psychic ability to guess
whether it’s at the exact level of ripeness required of an
Avocado that only seems to exist as a mysterious, 30

inedible rock hard stage but not yet reached the rotten
black mush stage I couldn’t BE more thrilled if I’d
opened the winning box on a scratch card! Ooh what an
exciting, thrill filled life I really do lead! Thank God you
get to read every detail of it via my Facebook feed! You
lucky, lucky people!
