Good morning goodgymmers! Today was the first of 3 solo missions that I was due to do today. I had a chat with the lovely Mr. G before hand to check what he wanted to eat and managed to get some of the items ahead of time. I went to get the other items, and was on my way! I headed over to Mr G and figured out I had learn the following lessons on the way there: 1) I should always check the expiration date on the bread I am buying. I bought one that had a BBE of tomorrow which was of no use to Mr G. 2) Always ask if the person you are doing the mission for would like to take any advantage of any BOGOF offers. 3) When being asked to do the shopping in advance, and when the person who you are doing the mission for is giving you money, ensure that you use a £20 note. This way you have exact change to give them when they give you £20. I didn't do this and accidentally shortchanged Mr G 37p.

I placed the shopping down on Mr G's doorstep after asking him to back away from the door, and reminded him to disinfect everything including the money. He thanked me profusely and said he was grateful for people like us in the world. Thanks Mr G, it was my pleasure!

Stay safe goodgymmers.
