I know substitution choices have improved over the years (sorry, no milk, but here's a bottle of dettol) - but I've been looking forward to some gazpacho soup. Croutons made and ready, garnishes chopped and in the fridge - yum.

But instead, I'm getting a carton of blood orange juice. I just can't see the red onion, peppers and cucumber floating on the top giving quite the same experience. hmm

The reasons I put up with it are: I hate shopping, it is 1 ½ return journey and delivery charge is so cheap - just worth any hassle.

I ordered veggie sausages and got a tin of meat.
Ive also ordered toilet rolls and got five packs of aloe vera tissues- the kind you'd put in your handbag.
