Just come down with Covid. Again! Had planned to do shop this weekend. Luckily managed to get a deliver slot from local Sainsbury’s for tomorrow 1-2.00pm.
This is when technology comes to the rescue 👍🏽
Did you think you were poor growing up?

AIBU
I’ve enjoyed the new world (to me!) of all this tech ever since the internet became widely available in the 90’s. Some things are harder to learn and/or understand than others but the basics I’d have thought were easy enough for most people to grasp.
My Dh and I have just started a programme of training to improve our physical abilities (curse you, lock down!). That has involved using an app and timings. We started yesterday and I managed to download the app and use the relevant parts for our programme, plus learnt how to use the timer on my phone. I felt rather pleased with myself for doing this and it gave my brain a workout, too. 
When my sister was suddenly widowed, some years ago, she didn’t even know how to use a ‘hole in the wall’ bank machine and her life was very difficult because she had let her husband do everything for her. Her poor children had to go about teaching her, at a time when they had jobs and young families and all the rest of it.
