Missions in Catford be like Me-Ow 🐱
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Lewisham.
- Tuesday, 7th of April 2020
Mr. S needed a few things from Iceland (specifically food from Iceland), but I did not realise until looking at the shopping list and then looking at the Iceland website towards the end of my working day that Iceland closes at 18:00! However, the mission was meant to start at 18:00. Thus, I dashed out of my house by 16:40...left "work" 20 minutes earlier to get to Iceland just after 17:00.
At Iceland, I managed to get most of Mr. S's items on his list, but I called him to see if he would like any substitutes. There weren't any replacements, but additions to the list and of course, a reminder to get his tobacco and filters. I had to go to Tesco's for the latter.
The shopping went over the £20 budget due to the tobacco and filters, but when I met him outside his home (10 minutes walk from the shops) he said he did not mind the extra cost and said he would pay what he is owed to GoodGym (hopefully, this is true). After a brief chat and some well wishes, I departed into the setting sun.
