Popped out at lunchtime for this mission to help Mr A with a bit of shopping. Salt-N-Paper...yep that was pretty much the whole list!

The most important item was epsom salts, which would be a struggle for Mr A to get himself because of the weight. I tried three different pharmacies and a few local grocery shops but unfortunately everywhere was either out of stock or didn't sell such things.

The lady in one pharmacy said they'd been struggling to get any for weeks, I wonder if this was the case for all the pharmacies and if so, why?

Unable to find the elusive bath salts, I was at least able to get a packet of extra strong kitchen roll, the only other item on this list! It's a shame I wasn't able to find the salts, but Mr A was understanding, hopefully he will be able to get hold of some soon!

Sounds like you gave this one a good go, well done Amanda! Maybe someone can help him order some bath salts online ...
