online grocery shopping!

*edit

alas! the day has come. i have attained a higher level of sloth, i. am. sloth. or... maybe this is just an indicator of how i can't be arsed to leave my flat, walk into chav-tham and buy groceries. i'd rather starve (good for losing that extra 5kg) or survive on instant food (campbell soup, instant porridge, milo 3-in-1, mee goreng) - which i have been for the past 6 months - till i wake up one day and find that i've turned into an instant noodle.

winter is over, so why aren't my hibernation tendencies leaving me? spring is (supposedly) here; time to frolic in the sun! but ahh.. the infamously unpredictable uk weather has decided to act up once again; leaving us with hot summer illusions one week (think: no coat, no jeans. just tights and thongs - footwear, not underwear) followed by SNOW! the next. i had made up my mind to don a pretty frock and run some errands (groceries included) on sunday, but then i awoke to find it snowing. again.

[ it was a truly spectacular sight, i must admit. i whipped out my camera and took some videos for mandili - i know how much they wanted to see it snow in rochester. sitting in bed, propped against the window sill, still wrapped in my comforter, chatting on the phone with the lover and watching snowflakes swirling around in circles - it was so very soothing on my nerves. one of the most perfect ways to start my sunday morning - almost beats sleep-in-sundays. almost. ]

hence, i present you with ONLINE GROCERY SHOPPING! - the best thing to happen to me to since luncheon meat (which i most definitely stocked up on) along with all my basic necessities: bread, milk, eggs, juice, fruits, rice, pasta, pasta sauce, cheese, ham, dark chocolate & ginger cookies.. etc. the list goes on.. and on. this ensures that i don't have to leave my flat for the remaining 6 weeks of school (i hope) or at least until my deadlines are over next week. with the bill i rung up, i have a feeling most of it will last till summer - which is basically when we have to get our asses (so american, the boy would say) out of halls.

note: the last time i was this psyched about something over the internet was when i had to book my driving lessons online, i compared it to stocks and shares. oooh.... exciting.
