As Baldrick used to say "I have a cunning plan!" Yes, I did have a cunning plan and my cunning plan works to a certain degree.
I managed to get two of the cheaper supermarkets to agree to help by putting my groceries into the bags I provide so I can winch them up and into the kitchen window using the rope and carabiners I purchased.
And it works, it means I no longer have to starve and I'm nowhere near as exhausted as I was when I used to have to go up and down the stairs multiple times for each delivery.
Which is just as well as I haven't been able to manage the stairs since mid February 2022.
But it does have its limits. I can only rely on using this method for groceries and for medication from the local pharmacy. With any other deliveries it's difficult as so many companies including Amazon don't allow you to give delivery instructions and won't give you the parcel unless you open the front door.
But it's a start. It's just a shame I personally can't get up and down using a basket and a rope.

Pleased you've managed to find a way to get food deliveries.
