The life of the idle rich

Now for the highlight of this week... I just had my groceries delivered to my front door! That's right, I sat at home enjoying a coffee while someone else pushed a trolley through the supermarket, collecting my groceries and delivered them all nicely boxed and bagged to my front door. Although this whole concept puts a smile on my face every time I think about it, I do feel a bit bad for them. I console myself with the fact that he/she probably didn't do it with a twirling, dancing five year old, a gravity-defying one year old, and one-yet-unborn squirming and kicking in his/her belly...

But still, isn't that just the height of luxury? Thanks heaps for the tip, Leanne. This will work wonders when the baby arrives! Now please excuse me, I have an appointment at the beauty salon while my maid cleans my house... tee hee....

P.S. you don't actually need to be rich - I thought the $8 delivery fee was well worth it in my current circumstances - grocery shopping has been my most challenging household chore lately!

What a great idea! (just checked, and of course, they don't deliver to Brunswick...)

I haven't a single CLUE what's holding me back. Organisation, perhaps?!

that's such a good idea ... my sister and a few others use the service and highly recommend it ... I have not used it yet cause I often need to read labels etc and they don't have all that info online ... but I really really want to give it a go one time ... even just once to have that 'waited on' feeling :)

What a luxury!!!. And for just $8, that would be well worth the time and energy!!. I immediately checked, but no they don't service our post code. :-(
