Laura, mum of two in London, on the revelation that you can skip the supermarket and order groceries from your sofa using the Zapp app. Genius, huh? I have a confession: I hate leaving the house unless I absolutely have to. That’s why I’m low-key obsessed with the Zapp app.

I’m a mum of two living in Chiswick, London. I usually work part-time from home as a virtual assistant, but I’m on maternity leave with my newborn baby girl happily gurgling next to me as I write this.

I’m not lazy, exactly, but recently, with a three-year-old and a newborn, I can’t be bothered to leave the house, so I’ll make do with what I have in the house to save myself a trip to the shops.

Enter Zapp!

My first Zapp delivery

I first came across Zapp through Peanut (which also ranks as one of my favourite apps of all time!), when I was sent a Zapp discount code to use for my first order.

Well, that Zapp promo code couldn’t have come at a better time.

I was sitting at home, nursing my baby girl, sniffling with hayfever, and feeling sorry for myself.

I’d run out of my usual hayfever tablets so I decided to try out this Zapp delivery app, and ordered myself my much-needed hayfever tablets, tissues, chamomile tea, and a cheeky Twirl.

When I clicked that checkout button, it took just 10 minutes to get to my door! Since then, it’s been a game-changer and I’m always recommending it to my friends.

Zapp for in-between shops

Despite doing a weekly food shop, I STILL find myself running out of the essentials.

The Zapp app is a lifesaver at these times when you’re not ready to face the supermarket again.

This week, it came to the rescue with sandwiches, nappies, formula, and a very essential chocolate craving.

I’m really passionate about protecting our environment so it was a bonus that the Zapp delivery driver arrived on an electric bike!

Zapp for parties

For me, I love and hate hosting in equal measure.

I love the idea of bringing everyone together but oh my, the pressure of catering for everyone!

Recently, I totally forgot that one guest was a vegan, and other than some crudités, I had nothing.

Enter Zapp. You can see a pattern is starting to form here right?

Zapp for gifts!

I’ve added my friends’ places to my locations on the Zapp app so I can easily send them gifts if they’re in need of some TLC too.

I’ve sent wine, popcorn, snacks, bubble bath, you name it!

I love being able to send a gift and have it arrive within minutes!

Last but not least, Zapp cares

I’ll be honest, I didn’t know much about Zapp as a company until I wrote this review, but I’ve found out some pretty interesting things about how they work.

I thought Zapp delivery drivers stopped by other 24-hour shops in my area to get the products I’d ordered, but they actually have their own Zapp stores so you know what they have in stock before you place your order.

I was also pleased to find out that all Zapp delivery drivers are proper employees, with benefits ‒ not like some other delivery companies that pay on a delivery-by-delivery basis.

And one of my favourite facts about Zapp is that they work with Olio to reduce their food waste, so any unsold food that’s close to its sell-by date is shared within the local community.

So as you may have guessed, I thoroughly recommend the Zapp app for fast, easy, and convenient deliveries ‒ it’s an absolute game-changer!

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️
