Ok , there is petrol price drop :
The forecast petrol price for May 2020
Taking these forecasts and first estimates into account, here’s what you can expect to pay for fuel (price-per-litre) from the first week of May onwards. However, we have to stress that these mid-month estimates are liable to change by the time the Department of Energy set next month’s costs in stone.

Coastal
  • Petrol: R11.37
  • Diesel: R10.92
Inland
  • Petrol: R12.07
  • Diesel: R11.52
and another 1.25% cut on repo rates in the pipelines later 2020/21 [moneyweb]

Wow, diesel was about R16 per litre last time I filled up (which was ages ago)
But that’s one heck of a drop
Will probably go up again soon because oil price went up a bit and Rand got weaker

Yep, it’s cheap when we cannot or don’t need to drive, about as much use currently as a bald guy winning a hairbrush in a competition. :D
 
On what would have been our final day of Lockdown, I have decided to man the procrastination-station. Going to binge watch me some series today, starting with Locke & Key :couch:

Good morning to the incarcerated inhabitants of various Shires,
Rudely plucked out of bed this morning by the clarion at the gates , there were a page holding a gift , awaiting my presence , humbly he bent and placed the wrapped package at my gates and inquired if ,I ,may be the lord of the manor to which I confirmed with a curt reply .He turned an fled to his white carriage and departed...

The madness continues , my new journey into the strange land of CBD has begun , oil and CBD e-juice delivered , thanks to @Vaperite South Africa and the brave dudes at TCG. Appreciate it.
The streets are still for now , didn't feel like driving yesterday so - shopping will be done TODAY . The journey will commence as soon as I'm fully awake and had some Coke . To be continued...

M'Lord, your humble servant hopes that the potion meets your lofty expectations.
 
Same thing with me...our street address is 18 and not picking up on the app but number 4 on the same street works fine. So we have been using number 4 (family member) instead. Tried different phones and PC but nada. Havent called them though.
That's pretty annoying but at least you have a family member that can help out, went on the app this morning to try it out but most of the things we want are sold out, like butter is not available at all, baking seems to be a popular lockdown passtime

Yeah bru...it is but small enough to not even notice if it can save you from possible risk out there. However, just bare in mind that the app takes an amount higher than your invoice to use IF they need to substitute/replace items with others from your original list. If that extra amount is not used it is reversed back into your account but takes 2-3 business days depending on your bank.

The only part that got to me was that I chose, paid and THEN I got items removed as they were running out of stock. They kept sending me notifications as items were removed even though they were paid for. The app does have a lot of improvement to go through but I will still use for absolute essentials and zoo biscuits.
 
and just to add...bare in mind they sometimes don't get your delivery in 60min...mine took about 5 hours the first time yet they visited that complex 3 times in the same day before my order was delivered and my order was already in.

Yeah they sent out comms 2 weeks ago saying they cant commit to 60 minutes during lockdown (increased orders).
I've had deliveries by different drivers so can understand that they maybe aren't rationalizing the deliveries other than first packed first dispatched.
