I've had that here with Mrs Growler too. ::)
Why do they have this need to buy shite online?
Easier to get it from the shops imo, and you can see it before you purchase too.
Internet shopping IS utter shite imo, and is one of the main reasons for so many high street names going tits up.

Mr Wench is the same. I've just had to sort out one of my Christmas presents that he has somehow managed to screw up.
Personally I love internet shopping, no people, no sales "assistants", no outdoors. I sit and with a few clicks of the mouse everything I want is delivered to my door. cloud9:

You are still better about the sony store incident aren't you. happy100

Give me internet shopping anyday. No driving, no circling like a vulture looking for a car parking space, no jostling(sp?) down the aisles, no numpty assistants, no screaming brats, no queuing at the tills, no queuing to get out of the car parks (the radio were reporting 2 hours in Portsmouth and one hour in Reading at the weekend), goods delivered to the door (one interrupted my posting this message), or get it delivered to work if you're not around. That's my idea of shopping

All my stuff comes to work, apart from the food shopping. Breaks the day up a bit! lol:
-
Give me shopping on line any day. No car parking, no fuel costs, bigger range of choice, lower prices, ease of payment (No queues) and the ability if anything goes wrong to get your card provider to refund you and take on the problem of sorting matters out with the seller. You have to be daft to want to wander round shops. Life is too short to spend three hours a week in a supermarket and money too short to waste on impulse buying, which is what shops rely on.

I have a 13 year old granddaughter, therefore no probs cloud9:

I am gettingthe hang of this Tesco Online stuff slowly, but every week I make some fook up.
We are still getting through the 4 kilos of figs. This time I made a differnt error evil:
Does anyone have any interesting recipes which involve LOTS of bananas?
I assumed that bananas were individually countable, so clicking on 6 seemed reasonable. How big is 'a bunch' meant to be anyhoo?

This next one looked promising but contains no bananas rubschin:
Curried Banana Beef Stew
Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs stewing beef
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch pieces
1 (13 ounce) can coconut milk
2 plantains, peeled and diced
1 (19 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons yellow curry paste
salt and pepper
Directions

Wrong sort of bananas for frying (unless you dip them in a batter) or currying ~ they will turn to mush.
Trust me I have eaten a lot of West Indian food.
-

They make an excellent condiment with curry, but 6 Kilos rubschin:
I reckon that's about half a ton of curry lol:

OK sensible suggestion which my boys love.
Push a wooden skewer into the end of each banana ~ leave the skins on. Place them in the freezer. When The Boy wants a sweet treat ~ give him a banana ice lolly. The skins will turn black but the contents, as long as the bananas are fresh, will be fine. All he has to do is peel the "lolly" and scoff it. The wooden skewers can be recycled the next time you have a surfeit of bananas

rubschin:
Frozen banana on a stick? It's an old trick, but it might just work

Mrs Nick being unwell she sent me out to buy (cough) some sanitary towels. There are about 10 billion different sorts. I was staring helplessly at the shop display and the male assistant asked if he could help.
I said I needed some sanitary towels
He said, 'For a lady?'
We both sort of froze, and I left empty handed redface:
