trying to break Waitrose Habit

[codswallop]

Tried Tesco but it is not the same- no nice nibbles - bread etc. Someone convince me to keep trying tesco.. Might see Mr. m2t of course!!

sb34 - will scan the mags to see hwat nuggets of info I can pass on!
(Eeek! this is almost like work!)

Sounds familiar Finbar dh goes off to work full of parenting info and gossip that I supplied him with from Mumsnet, and all his female colleagues think he is such a hands-on daddy.

Marina - It's amazing how they do it isn't it? I was so surprised when he told me he'd been on Mumsnet!! -now I just need to work out his alias!

Finbar - He isn't/hasn't started trying to cut your kiddies hair based on the 'cut round the bowl; theory has he? Or would that be too obvious to spot?

Spooky - am a Waitrose gal through and through, so much so that fish man, bakery woman and all checkout girls know dd better than some of her godparents. Store comes to standstill when we arrive - often I don't put her in trolley, just give her to fish man while I shop!. Anyhow, have just been to Tesco for first time today as was nearer and found it totally overwhelming - too much choice - whole aisle of cereal, and too many things I've seen on TV and never get sold at waitrose, so I've obviously had to buy them all in the interests of research. Resulting in a more expensive and definately less healthy shop than Waitrose. Also fish man didn't wave...

I'm a Waitrose person and am everso lucky in that I get it delivered. A lovely father christmas lookalike normally delivers it and he and my dd get on like a house on fire. She of course now thinks that food is normally delivered and that he's bought thing especially for her pleasure.

Im a waitrose gal too do think its expensive though, I just get tempted by all the nice things and it always ends up costing a fortune and even then I have to keep 'popping' in for 'this and that' that i've forgotten

Furball - can't find the thread you are grinning about! Tell me please!! Clues for alias needed (that is if he even has posted...I think he may think that it could be a bit iffy him looking at Mumsnet - does anyone else's Dh/Dp have a look?)

I wish there was a Waitrose near me...
Actually, on second thoughts, it's probably better for my finances that there isn't one!

LOL Wills. Us northerners don't do Waitrose but we get Asda deliveries and every time the door bell rings DS yells "lorry" (his inflated status for the delivery van) and heads for the door whether or not its delivery day. Our social life is such that the Asda man is the most regular visitor

Furball - have found the haircut thread !! It can't be Dh as only one of ours has blonde hair AND DH knows full well that I do the haircutting around here!!!!!PHEW!

Ill emlail it to you finny

am off tyo get my fix

anyone want any thing?

Have already been - lots of Food Explorer stuff reduced - mid week is usually good for that!!!

No supermarket can supply what happened to me this morning. I did some shopping in the village shop-cum-post office. The nice man there could see I was encumbered with dd in car seat, changing bag etc and offered to carry the shopping to my car in the village car park while I carried her.

was he dishy?

Maybe he was in 1965, but not now. But very cuddly, all the same.

Oh, I miss Waitrose I used to go to either Cobham or Staines mainly, but now I'm in Wales I think my closest one is probably Malvern!
I can't afford Waitrose anymore as I am a layabout and need to get a job. Maybe Asda will employ me ....

Can anyone tell me why the Waitrose in Finchley Road is called John Barnes??? (on their website storefinder)

'cause there's only one way in - round the back
(crap New Order reference)

Sorry

Don't kick the habit, commit to the JLP. Tescos and Sainsburys are snooping on your inner soul through Clubcard and Nectar. Waitrose just want you to be happy.

wonder what Mr Finbar and his waitrose cronies will think of us. Didnt they used to have to wear brown suits?

Oi!!! Mr Finbar never wore a brown suit!! I was fed-up not hard up when I met him!!!!!!!

Waitrose Finchley Road was/is known as John Barnes because it used to be a department store called John Barnes - JLP alwys used to like keepng the name of any dept store they bought to retain some of the local history flavour...however that is now changing and places like Jessops is now John Lewis Nottingham etc etc....aaprt from anythign else some people didn't even realise the WERE John Lewis stores ( I ask you !!)

Hope this helps!!
