Is Vitamin B12 Pulling Me Through?
About five months ago, I swapped my food shopping from Marks & Spencer in-store to Ocado once a week. This was mainly to cut down on my walking with shopping, but also to make sure, I’d usually got a meal or two in.
In August, I wrote Liver From Ocado and I’ve generally been eating one of these ready meals a week.
Although, Ocado doesn’t always stock them, so I have to go hunting round the various Marks & Spencer stores looking for Liver and Bacon.
Unfortunately, I’m not always successful.
Today, I went searching round South London looking for a transformer. Nor a kid’s toy, but a National Grid electrical one with the weight of thirty African elephants.
I didn’t see it, but I did walk quite a bit.
I then realised that the various muscle pains in my legs, that I’ve been having for the last few months had gone.
Was it the Vitamin B12 in the ready meal, as I stopped taking the paracetamol some months ago?
Also on Thursday, I had my three-monthly Vitamin B12 injection, so my body probably had enough of the vitamin.
The older I get, the more I feel that the Vitamin B12 injections have helped my stroke recovery.
Have Ocado Run Out Of 0.5 % Alcohol Ghost Ship?
I do my base Ocado order, as soon as I get this week’s order on the Saturday soon after six in the morning. I do fine tune the order, as the week progresses.
Yesterday, I was without two products ; the M & S Liver & Bacon ready meal and Adnams 0.5 % Alcohol Ghost Ship.
The ready meal is often short, but I can get it in the Marks and Spencer’s stores locally on most weeks.
One problem with the liver is that it it is not suitable for freezing.
The beer is not a problem, as I have enough in store and I can drink other brands.
But it does seem to have been a victim of Dry January.
After the end of the month, it will be very interesting to look at the domestic violence figures.
Ocado: Early In The Morning
Today, I had my shopping delivered at six o’clock in the morning.
I’d booked Ocado for that time and I rose at five, so that the door was ready, when the van arrived dead on the allotted time.
I just unlatched the door and the six grey plastic carrier bags were lined up along the wall inside my hall.
As I always do, I sorted out the beer first, as it is heavy and I keep it downstairs, only bringing what I need upstairs.
But by seven, everything was stored away and I’d had my daily bath, where I give my eyes a good rinsing of the accumulated night’s sleep, of which my eyes collect a lot.
I quite like having the groceries and other shopping delivered early, as it allows me to plan my day properly.
But it has always been thus.
I was usually first out of bed and through most of my teenage years, I marked up newspapers near Oakwood station, before going to school.
I have no recollection of the time I rose at University, but we generally got into the centre of Liverpool by about nine.
So Ocadao at six seems to fit my pattern of life.

I know Liverpool well and I think this is a smart purchase.
The Mersey Tidal Barrage
If all goes well in a few years time, Liverpool One will be just a short walk from one of England’s most spectacular tourist attractions – The Mersey Tidal Barrage, which will allow you to walk or cycle across the Mersey.
The Pierhead, Waterfront And Merseyrail
Note.
- The Mersey Ferry Terminal is to the left,
- The Liver Building is in the centre.
- The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs between the two, to give access for narrow boats to the Albert Dock.
- There is a Merseyrail station to the right.
The famous waterfront is already a major calling port for cruise ships and is connected to the rest of Merseyside, by one of the world’s best urban railways.
The Improved Rail Service From London
In the new year, Liverpool will get a second hourly rail service from London with new faster Hitachi trains and as Lime Street station is only a couple of stops on Merseyrail or a downhill walk for the average urban walker to Liverpool One, many will go and do their day’s shopping with a meal and some entertainment in the City.
The New Everton Stadium
From next year, that entertainment could be watching football at Everton’s new stadium, which is on the waterfront.
Battery High Speed Trains Across The Pennines
The trains across the Pennines will be improved soon, when new battery-electric high speed Hitachi trains come into service.
Hotels And Golf
The one thing that Liverpool One and the waterfront needs is some world class hotels. The Liverpool area already has a few golf courses good enough for the Open Championship.
The area has marketed itself in the past, as the Golf Coast.
Future Development
Liverpool One, the Pierhead and the Waterfront, can develop massively over the next ten years.
Do Coeliacs Like Ocado?
I have been doing most of my food and grocery shopping with Ocado for a few months now!
My first shop was on the 16th of August this year and I have now done a total of fourteen shops.
What is interesting, is that all substitutions made by Ocado has involved products that are gluten-free.
So do coelics and those on a gluten-free diet use Ocado a lot?
That would explain why gluten-free products run out more often. This also applies to products that don’t have a gluten-free label, but are known to be gluten-free from the ingredients.
Marks & Spencer Get A Bit Cheeky
I bought these strawberries in Marks and Spencer on Moorgate, yesterday.
Note.
- They have a Best Before Date of Thursday.
- They were grown in West Sussex by the Summer Berry Co.
But I do think it is a bit cheeky to label them with a yellow label saying “New Season”!
Their web site gives a few answers.
Does Ocado Get Used For Christmas Stocking Fillers?
I use cotton handkerchiefs because of my skin and buy them in boxes of seven from Marks and Spencer at £16 a box.
Today, I was doing my weekly Ocado order and wondered if they delivered the handkerchiefs.
They appear to sell ten of a lesser quality for &6.33.
Unfortunately, they were out of stock. Have they been bought up by kids for stocking fillers for relatives?
But, Ocado do stock a selection of items from Marks and Spencer’s Autograph range.

Is the name a bit cheeky?
