What a shame. When I had two small children and a merchant navy husband the milkman was a lifeline. (No! Not for that you murky-minded readers) He delivered milk, butter, eggs, chicken, yoghurt, potatoes, bread and OJ. If one of the kids was ill and I couldn't get out it was handy. And as cheap as the shops.

There was no Ocado delivery then. Ocado and Waitrose are free and one hour slots if the total cost is over £75, or it used to be. Also watch environment and tell you when the van is in your area.

Actually mum was ony 10 mins away by car too and would come over if needed :).
