Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Daily emails from companies I once shopped with eons ago (or hotels I stayed in once) telling me about what they're doing to cope with Covid-19.

The airport parking emails I treat as dark satire
Not so funny is my veg box people telling me they’re cancelling my order because they’re overwhelmed. I’ve only been ordering weekly for 15 years, you’d think they would prioritise regular orders.

That IS shitty, Fleecy. Why would they do that? Surely they say they can't take on new customers rather than cancelling the old??!!

I think their system just crashed due to demand. Some of that might have been regular customers adding loads of extras. Hopefully things can revert to something fairer next week!

Fingers crossed Fleecy!
My box scheme has had lots of new demand and is closing to new customers to manage as they are a small local farm. They want to ensure that existing customers can be provided for.

Ooh I just got home to find my box was delivered after all, they must have got their act together. It makes life so much easier having a veg box and milkman, I’m even more glad of them than usual

I hope you have something of a birthday Trin

Today is massive anxiety - New Zealand is shutting its borders, I have no idea what this means for Girl and can‘t get any sensible advice. Her uni advice is „it‘s up to you“ which isn‘t helpful. It doesn‘t help with the 13 hour time difference.
