Gosia helped today with doing some urgent essential shopping for M ๐Ÿ›’๐Ÿ›โค. This was her first mission after a longerย  break which made it especially exciting ๐Ÿคฉ.

M has just recently came back from a serious operation ๐Ÿฅ and now really struggles to walk. Unfortunately the lift in her block doesn't work (for a longer time ๐Ÿ˜•) making it impossible for her to go shopping in the local shop. She said that last week she didn't get to do any shopping at all.

I have turned up at the front door (4th floor) few minutes before 1 pm. I was warmly welcomed by M, who gave me the shopping list ๐Ÿ“, few shopping bags ๐Ÿ› and ยฃ20 pounds in cash ๐Ÿ’ท. Everything perfectly prepared ๐Ÿ‘Œ.

I went to a local Tesco which is a usual place where M would do her shopping. I put an extra effort to ensure all the fruits ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‹ and veggies ๐Ÿฅ”๐Ÿฅ• M requested are with a longer "best before" in case. I could find everything that was requested in the shopping list and able to pay in cash using the money I got from M.

I was back at M's door after 40 min (damn stairs!), then she asked me to carry the bags inside (which I did). The entire mission was successful and just reassured me how important and valuable is what GG โค does.
