Thank you. Will have a look.
They don't fall into the shielded category, but will have a look at that (and other online meal providers) may good option going forwards if still available !

I looked into this for my dad and step mother about a week ago but they didn’t want to know. 🙄

Sorry - my dad and step mum. They are very set in their ways but I suppose I will be too when I am 90!

I actually phoned Wiltshire Foods and they were very helpful - they were willing to print the labels in large writing to enable my step mother to be able to read it as her eyesight is very bad.

Ah. I think that is likely to be the problem I have. Very independent and don't like to be a burden.

FGS. Turns out she says has freezer food. She meant fresh she says.

Her tune has changed following clear family fretting down phone at her.

Having to trust her on it - but don't quite ! Ho hum.

Thanks again to all those who offered help, especially those who I know are already doing so much for all of us.

I've run out of milk/fresh food. Have an asda delivery due at 8pm, will be interesting if it turns up and what's in it. Not stressed, I appreciate the service and if they don't make it, it's not the end of the world... just as long as they don't charge me for it lol

I had an Asda delivery this morning. It was quite a large order as it was for our household (4 adults) and my parents.

It came on time, a few things not available and quite a lot of substitutes but in the current climate, perfectly acceptable.

Very good service 👍

well I'm amazed, email received from asda, order picked, only thing missing was my chicken breast - no substitute, but I'm perfectly happy with that. Well done Asda pickers/packers/drivers, distributioun/warehouse people and all those still working away that rarely get a mention Update 10/10 for Asda, not only did my shopping arrive, it was within 10 mins of the earliest delivery slot
