Is my idea flawed?

[LauraNorder]

After popping into the local farm shop for a couple of pints of milk and spending £28 yesterday I've decided it will be cheaper having my milk delivered. I know it costs more and would be cheaper to buy from the supermarket but I never go in and come out with a pint of milk IYSWIM!

Can you see where I'm coming from?

I catch your drift on this one - but what about when you run out of bread???

very Flawed IMVHO.

But I totally hear your frustration!
I often pick up a basket for my milk and bread, then end up shoving it around with my feet when it's too heavy to carry, toilet rolls under my arm and washing powder balancing precariously on top of the buggy because it was "on special offer".

Good luck with that one! let me know if it works!

My milkman delivers bread too and I also make my own a lot of the time [smug smiley]

I've just started a milk delivery with Milk and More and they deliver bread, eggs, juice plus a multitude of other items, all without a delivery charge. I recommend them highly!

I keep hoping to catch the milk van and ask him to deliver but they come too late for me and I'm too busy doing stuff by the time he drives by. Perhaps I could set a trap to catch him and ask?

I think that's a bloody good idea though - we always try and shop locally and I hate those plastic things.

How can anyone cope without a milk delivery??? And when the milkman comes round for his money he answers all my questions on who is grazing horses in which field, who has bought which house, who is planning what extension. I love my milkman

my next door neighbour got campylobacter from milk in bottles - the birds pecked the top and he thought it would be ok, but it made him really ill, so make sure you provide some sort of protection caps for your milkman to put over your jugs bottles.

fabric conditioner lids make good ''bottletopprotectors''

How do the birds open the fridge?



Only kidding. You can get a cage thing with a lid for your milk apparently.

They were using baby bottle tops, but we have clever birds around here!

I get milk delivered and it's brilliant - it just takes a lot of hassle out of life, becuase you know that milk is arriving ready for breakfast.
