For many years I have enjoyed online shopping for things like books and DVDs from Amazon, underwear from M&S and, more recently, things like Mephisto sandals and Kipling bags. But it was only a couple of weeks ago that I discovered the joys of online supermarket shopping. Today was my second supermarket online order at El Corte Inglés and I have to say I AM HOOKED.

I think what put me off online supermarket shopping is that I actually quite enjoy going to the supermarket – and the markets – myself. And I didn’t like the idea of someone else choosing my meat or veggies. But then I realized – duh – that I could just have them do the heavy lifting stuff. Which, living on the second floor without a lift, is extremely handy. So from now on things like cat sand, cat food, wine, water, olive oil, toilet paper, cleaning products… it’s all going to be brought to my house by nice burly men who are actually capable of hoisting all that stuff upstairs. Winning!
