Home delivery rocks!

I can't tell you how many times i have had to do a midnight run to the 24 hour petrol station because we have run out of one of lifes little essential items. But not anymore.

A couple of weeks ago while M34tb4LL and myself were doing nothing on a Saturday afternoon a young lad came to our door, selling an idea that was so simple yet so revelutionary, we had to sign up for the service then and there.

The idea was - once or twice a week (our call) we could get products of our choice, from their range, home delivered and it would be charged to a credit card. No-one has to home to receive the delivery as they give us a cooler bag that we just have to leave at the door that items will packed into.

Amazing - who would have ever thought of that!

So every Thursday night before going to bed i pop a large bright green (for that is the colour they provided) cooler bag outside the front door and when i get out of bed on Friday morning i have a two litre bottle of milk, a loaf of white bread (toast cut) and a two litre bottle of juice.

And this is the even better part of the deal. With the juice they alternate between apple and orange (that was my choice). One week it is apple the next orange, and i'm not talking naff orange fruit drink and crystal clear, colour of pee apple juice - i am talking orange juice so full of its natural puld that you could chew it and apple jusice that is that satifying cloudy, greeny-brown colour. Both of them tasting like you have squeezed them fresh yourself.

And does this service cost us an arm and a leg? It is a darn site cheaper than the service station charges for the same products and i think it is at least comparable or even less than some supermarkets!

And you thought i was going to ramble on about ebay or something (by the way ebay rules!!!)
