I've just had warm cookie dough sprinkled with brownie pieces, a warm chocolate brownie slab drizzled with white chocolate, 2 ice cream sundaes (one full of fresh fruit), a tango ice blast and a big tub of pic'n'mix delivered to my door in under 20 mins.

Obviously not all for me. But anyway.

What a time to be alive.

Clearly no one is as excited about this as me.

Literally puddings and sweeties to your door. 24 hours a day.

Why is that not exciting?!

I thought they were all for you and thinking whoa that’s a binge!
Who delivered them?

SeaSaltandLime · 13/08/2019 16:24

Through JustEat.

We've got a 50s type ice-cream parlour (like the one in Grease!) close to us and they've just started delivering.

I'm over the moon.

Everyone else who has read this is simply either too jealous to respond, raiding their fridge or trying to find a similar type of delivery in their area.

Pipandmum · 13/08/2019 16:25

Aww justeat only delivers from two places here and first trial was not good. I’m fearing for my waistline when I move back to London!

SeaSaltandLime · 13/08/2019 16:28

@ErrolTheDragon that's a fair point. Should've said this is not a humble brag of any kind*.

It's a huge* brag.

No wonder diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions! When we can no longer waddle to the shop, we can have toxic sugar filled crap delivered. Sorry if this news doesn’t fill me or my medical colleagues with joy, OP.

SeaSaltandLime · 13/08/2019 16:28

@Pipandmum 2 places? Where are you?!

I'm insanely jealous!!!
Just Eat don't deliver round here at all 😭

SeaSaltandLime · 13/08/2019 16:31

@Babdoc Have a laugh. I'm 6stone nothing, 5ft and my diet is mainly full of veg.

Buying a treat like the above (for 4 people) is not a direct cause of obesity/diabetes.
A lack of self-control maybe, but having it on an odd occasion is not going to make me, my family or friends fat and diabetic.

As for waddling, my backs in spasm. I'd have happily walked otherwise.

No wonder there’s loads of obese people. My Dc’s Friends order McDonald’s breakfasts on Uber eats when they have sleepovers. I think the younger generation are doomed.

SeaSaltandLime · 13/08/2019 16:35

Gosh. I knew I was going to regret this.

My family are healthy, active and of slim build.

I allow them to have the odd treat because everything in moderation is ok.
I was merely excited that I could give them that treat while temporarily immobilised with a bad back.

Again, ordering the odd McDonalds is not going to make someone obese.
It's not having it so easily accessible that's the problem, it's the lack of impulse control of the person ordering.

SeaSalt - you are right. What a time to be alive. Awesome.

Nothing wrong with a treat.

Sod off, doom fairies.

ElderMcKinley · 13/08/2019 17:13

You missed out a vital piece of information: can you choose what goes in the pick 'n' mix?!

SeaSaltandLime · 13/08/2019 20:40

@Fromage Thank you! Someone who gets it!
I'm sure the same people would be made up about the fact that the bar round the former drivers cocktails, beer, wine and spirits to your door!

OP posts:
SeaSaltandLime · 13/08/2019 20:41

@ElderMcKinley You can! You can choose sweet, sour, chocolate, foamy sweets, chews.
Literally whatever you want. They give you the options.

You get a generous proportion of all the sweets too! Not loads of one and none of the other!

I share your awe. I am equally in awe of same day amazon deliveries of totally random stuff. And Uber! Spent all of my childhood being warned not to get into strangers’ cars, and had massive social anxiety meaning I couldn’t phone up a cab firm if I needed one, now I summon them to my very house with the tap of a few buttons on a device that fits in my pocket.

WE’RE LIVING IN TE FUTURE.

TheCanyon · 13/08/2019 21:45

Well I'm jealous. We don't have JustEat here, and even if we did, there's pretty much feck all else so deliveries would be shite.

NotYourHolidayDick · 13/08/2019 21:45

I'm fat as fuck and I almost did a wee with excitement at your discovery!

Wilmalovescake · 13/08/2019 21:46

I’m obese and no fucker delivers to me.

HTH.

Tartan333 · 13/08/2019 21:46

Sounds amazing!

LookImAHooman · 13/08/2019 21:57

NOT MCDONALD’S BREAKFAST AFTER A SLEEPOVER OH MY GOD WILL NOBODY THINK OF THE CHIIIIIILDREN

Cockadoodledooo · 16/08/2019 10:47

I've just seen this thread. I am so unbelievably envious. We live somewhere where Just Eat or anyone similar just simply do not deliver 😭😭😭 So tempted to throw things at the screen when the adverts come on.

Tbh I'd have had a good go at all the things you had delivered op Grin
