To the CEO, sorry I cut you off earlier, I had an Ocado slot and I needed to check out within an hour

PegLegAntoine · 31/03/2020 22:39

OH MY GOD YOU GOT CARROTS!!!

Yes, I pretty much shouted as I was THAT excited.

AdoraBell · 31/03/2020 22:37

To DH

You sit in the car, I’ll do the shopping.

He saw couples going into the supermarket on Sunday so thought we could both do the shopping like normal.

For fucks sake, the car park is half empty why can't people socially distance their cars. There is no need to park anywhere near me!

confusednortherner · 31/03/2020 22:33

Are we desperate enough to get the emergency biscuits out boot of car?

DH " don't leave that sack of potatoes there someone might nick them" I'd put them by car on our long drive in a quite village 😂

``I'll put my mask in the car, if we get stopped I don't want plod giving me covid ''

Miriel · 31/03/2020 22:29

I have good news - I managed to get a click and collect slot! (very excitedly...)

Gingerkittykat · 31/03/2020 22:29

Wow that was a fantastic char with the checkout assistant in Tesco.

(I am miserable and hate it when I have to make small talk with strangers normally)

Do we have to go home, can we not just keep driving for a while.

(On the way home from the supermarket.)

Zisforstripyoss · 31/03/2020 22:29

"I don't know any of this stuff either, let's see if we can find a clearer explanation on google"

that was for year 4 maths. FML.

To dd 6

"fancy a game of cluedo or monopoly?"

iknowimcoming · 31/03/2020 22:26

Hey son - did you hear I got a click and collect slot - it's in three weeks but we'll manage till then! Confused errrrr we won't!

delilahbucket · 31/03/2020 22:25

"I managed to get some soap, but only one" and "the butcher gave me a pack of paracetamol thank God". To be fair with the latter, I was eyeing up the Wilko cold and flu drink sachets in my cupboard to get me through my period this week, I really was getting desperate.

Freshairimportanttoo · 31/03/2020 22:24

Put a box of veg in the boot then if we get stopped we are delivering food to vulnerable pils.

^^ SHORT drive not been out for 9 days...

MyHipsDontLieUnfortunately · 31/03/2020 22:24

I keep telling you not to go on the trampoline together. If you break your ankle we're not going to A&E!

Idontkowmyname · 31/03/2020 22:22

@Mycatismadeofstringcheese me too!

greenlynx · 31/03/2020 22:22

We need to frighten grandma as much as possible to make her stay inside. ( to DD before Skype call)

Why should we cross the road? Are there any people ahead?

ConstantlySeekingHappiness · 31/03/2020 22:21

Don't leave that hand gel on display in the car!

"Well, very sad circumstances but it is really lovely to see everyone" .. said absolutely everyone at the funeral I attended today.

Girliefriendlikespuppies · 31/03/2020 22:21

'How do you stop the face masks going into your eyes?'

Said to a colleague today (im a nurse.)

'Did you have your once allowed daily walk today?'

Said to teen dd.

NeonMist · 31/03/2020 22:20

"The PM has confirmed that we're allowed out for exercise once a day, the police won't catch you if you go out for a walk" - to someone worried the police would apprehend them should they venture outside.
It sounds insane!

Frigginella · 31/03/2020 22:19

“What do you do if your school friend walks past? Yes that’s right you step back and say hello but do not go over”
I was leaving my son in the front garden for a couple of minutes

Iusedtobeapartygirl · 31/03/2020 22:17

There were bananas in the shop today!

TolstoyAteMyHamster · 31/03/2020 22:14

And also, most memorably

Mum, you aren’t listening. You can’t just go out all the time. You need to stay home and stop being so irresponsible. Do I have to get Dad to talk to you about this?

TolstoyAteMyHamster · 31/03/2020 22:13

I heard Tesco had eggs yesterday.

I am talking to someone who isn’t a member of my household or on a screen. I’m so happy.

Hang on, I can’t open that letter yet as it only arrived this morning and I’ve not got any gloves.

Is [colleague a] joining us or is she still dealing with that tantrum? I know [colleague b] can’t join as she went to the supermarket and is still in the queue to get in.
