Alan and Kash shopped many times for Mr G as individuals but never as a team - until now! Today's special grocery mission needed two GoodGymers. Alan, as the adult, went to the counter in Chiswick's Sainsbury's to buy some contraband for Mr G - scratchcards, perhaps? In the meantime, Kash was to collect all the other required goods from the supermarket shelves before Alan conquered the queue to the counter, then meet him at the tills. Let the race begin!

Kash knew the layout of aisles with Mr G's favourites by heart - and firmly decided not to be distracted by the sight of pots of reduced-price dhal - yet, Alan caught up with her almost immediately. The only items in the basket so far were cavolo nero, savoy cabbage, breaded chicken breast, breaded cod and chicken & gravy shortcrust pastry pie. It was time to team up again.

While Alan, as the expert on locating Mr G's newest addition to the list, went to hunt down the Taste the Difference Scottish whole rolled jumbo oats (wow, typing the name of that speciality was tougher than 6 km of running during this mission!), Kash found the ready meals. With the protein yoghurts absent from the shopping list this week, the GoodGymers finished the shopping by grabbing a couple of tins of baked beans.
