I will be looking into all of them to see which will be the best option but so far, it's looking like bribing one of the neighbours with wine and chocolates to give me a lift to the shops is going to be the most likely plan :-)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242633962339344241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396646580153271430.post-1812610760292154882015-05-22T18:10:56.447+01:002015-05-22T18:10:56.447+01:00Congratulations on becoming a first time granny.

We just had the same happen to us after giving up hope that we would ever be grandparents, and we are in our late sixties.<br />The solutions offered above are all very helpful, and the Enterprise car rental sounds a good idea as they pick you up, you can do the chores and take your things home, and then drive back to Enterprise and they will then give you a ride home too. I do this when I go home and the Penryn Enterprise people are very obliging.<br />Most feed suppliers do deliver, but as you are in Cornwall - who knows? Things get done differently there it seems to me - spoken as a fervent Cornish supporter and home owner.Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396646580153271430.post-12161995286342697252015-05-22T17:56:07.192+01:002015-05-22T17:56:07.192+01:00Any hope that the feed supplier would deliver?

You'd probably have to pay but it would be a solution, and probably cheaper than hiring a vehicle unless you could also do lots of jobs on one day.<br /><br />But none of that will be nearly as important as drooling over your new grandson.

I do hope your daughter is soon feeling better and enjoying her little one.<br /><br />Big commiserations on the demise of your car though, Kay. What a shock. I agree with shabbychic that online shopping might help in the short term until you can sort things out but the animal provisions will be a bit of a headache. Do you have a neighbour who might do the animal feed run with you if you chip in for some fuel? Or perhaps a family member might help as it's only once a month? Good luck anyway, hon xPensive Pensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753467730053378848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396646580153271430.post-53614423385071606692015-05-22T15:52:07.365+01:002015-05-22T15:52:07.365+01:00First f all congratulations on your new grandson h...First f all congratulations on your new grandson he looks beautiful , Hopefully i will become a granny in the next couple f years , If you have never done any on-line shopping before sainsburys and Tesco do big money of vouchers for first n line shops when we were without a car fr a few weeks i signed up for both of them and did one shop with each it might be worth a try in the meantime xxxmyshabbychicvintagefrugallifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847894759380794992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396646580153271430.post-22630116858442462922015-05-22T15:30:02.897+01:002015-05-22T15:30:02.897+01:00Congratulations on the birth of your grandchild. ...Congratulations on the birth of your grandchild.
