I have decided to stop beating myself up about this and just put everything on hold till this contract ends at Easter - and just aim to do better with the next job.

I tried that shopping pick up once, I had to wait 20 mins!! I could have virtually done the shop in that time - so I have never tried that again. I do dabble with online shopping from time to time - if could get reception on my phone at work and edit list might work better, as a contractor I don't really feel that I can be seen to be doing any non-work stuff even if is during a break - one day I had a cut off on online shopping at 11:00AM but had not put a load of stuff on it, and thought could update from work when I got in at 7:45AM - but someone else came in early and called me in on a meeting and it never got done so I ended up paying delivery charge to get only half what I wanted!!!
