I am still thinking about the dratted delivery. I was even lying awake last night thinking about it (when bear wasn't waking me up in the small hours with 'pains in his legs').
The current position is that I will stick to a Mr S order but without the soup. Darling father is looking for an excuse to go out and has a free bus pass so popping along to Asda will be inexpensive for him, he will have a bit of fresh air and he can pick up the other bits he wants at the same time.
Mr S may have an inferior offer of Heinz soup but has a much better offer on squeezy honey. I feel a bit ashamed that I use the squeezy honey, but bear has honey on his cereal (which is a bit over sugared already in my opinion, but that is another battle) and when I am dashing around the squeezy honey is so much easier. Mr S also has a decent offer on olive oil which I use at a rate of about one litre per three months, so I can't over buy that, but as I am getting to the end of my bottle then it is nice to top up with a reasonable priced item.
Also the delivery is that bit less. Though the delivery men aren't really as nice. And I can still get the chocolate pots for bear, though I am a bit reluctant to do so. Also the inexpensive cat litter is superior and I may soon be providing for two.
I am putting the emotional and mental energy into a shopping decision that some people put into business deals and mergers.
Don't know what you currently do for Little bear's leg pains in the night. All our three kids had them at one time or other. It's a kind of "growing pain" and some children need physio, but with mine I found the most effective way of stopping the pain was to tightly bandage the joint as soon as they started yelling. I wasn't into herbs then as I am now. Now I would also massage with St John's wort oil which helps with nerve pain. Hope he doesn't suffer too much.
ReplyDeleteSarah - thank you! I suspect it is growing pains, and I will get some St John's Wort oil. Bear did his own version of suffering. He woke up in the middle of the night, shouted for me, I cuddled him and gave him calpol, he went straight back to sleep. But thanks for the tip, will definitely look it out. WS xxxx
