I got bog roll. No snacks. Wan' share?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 19/03/2020 13:45

I'd love to - but do you have an industrial hoist handy, because once I'm in a beanbag, that's the only thing that will get me out!!

I have ice-cream, and according to dh, there is a big box of Maltesers hidden somewhere in the house, but he is keeping the location secret until I am in desperate need of chocolate. I also have plenty of coffee, because he is not prepared to be in social isolation with me for weeks unless I am fully caffeinated - lolol!

I have three bars of exciting Milka chocolate in exotic flavours. And three v bored children (none of whom are ill enough to just plop quietly) .

We're only on day one so far . . .

coldwarenigma · 19/03/2020 14:12

Bored children? Do you not have a Harry Potter cupboard? only joking Bog Roll? I have a tin of tomatoes..

Ok, can we play a game? Would one of you give me a fun/productive task?
Like: wipe down all the door handles and light switches or make a life line of your most memorable events.
I am bored. And it’s not good when I’m bored.
Thank you.

You could take the labels off all your tinned goods - this will make mealtimes more exciting, @BuddhaAtSea. Grin

BuddhaAtSea · 19/03/2020 14:26

😂😂😂 pmsl...fuck, that would be funny 😂😂😂

iklboo · 19/03/2020 14:27

I've just made a big chicken & country veg casserole and a nice loaf of bread if anyone wants some.

OhMy05 · 19/03/2020 14:38

Yum @iklboo that sounds goood! Can I have a plate please...

I am currently on a work conference call whilst the 11 year old moans about lag on Fortnite Angry

AlCalavicci · 19/03/2020 14:53

I have just been on 3 back to back con calls so I plan open a bottle of wine when I get home from work . In the mean time here you go

hands out Fox's crunch creams

LefttoherownDevizes · 19/03/2020 15:10

Thank you. I think I have some biscuits hidden in the cupboard. Don’t drink alcohol either, might go stand in the back garden for a couple of minutes to get some ‘fresh’ air

coldwarenigma · 19/03/2020 15:58

Hi Guys...RL beckoned. Ddog needed a walk.

For a game, love the idea of the tin labels. Grin

I’m craving buttered bread and DH tried and failed to buy chicken tomorrow. Can I grab a plate?
I have gin!
And paracetamol!
And toilet roll!
Just no chicken or bread. Sad

Wolfiefan · 19/03/2020 16:05

He failed to buy chicken tomorrow? WTAF. TODAY. He failed today.
Though TBH he will probably fail again tomorrow.

iklboo · 19/03/2020 16:11

Looks like we picked the wrong week to stop midweek drinking.

I think everyone should play at least one hour of The Floor Is Coronavirus Lava. Probably after the wine Grin.

BarkandCheese · 19/03/2020 16:15

I’m supporting the local independent coffee shop by buying all of their cakes. I have millionaires shortbread, blueberry and lemon sponge with buttercream an inch thick and the worlds best brownies, who wants what?

coldwarenigma · 19/03/2020 17:22

We are playing 'blind freezer dip' Don't look, just pick something and that is dinner.
We are having faggots, mash and veg..

LefttoherownDevizes · 19/03/2020 18:12

I am very jealous of the fact your lucky dip yielded a meal. In our house it would be random brown sludge, random other sludge plus frozen fruit

golddustwomen · 19/03/2020 18:28

God we played freezer roulette yesterday. A mix of turkey Dinos, fish fingers, all different kinds of chips and microwave veg. Tragic. Went to Sainsbury's today as I'm craving a spag bol. No luck. On anything except the chocolate isle?!

So, I do have chocolate shortbread to bring to the table. Although they are fucking delightful and I anticipate will not last the night. Grin

golddustwomen · 19/03/2020 18:29

Have lots of bud light and white wine though Wink

fairydustandpixies · 19/03/2020 18:45

I can offer some chicken and chorizo pate (but no crackers or any bread left, I'm afraid). My dog also has an awful lot of gravy bones in his treats tin that I'm sure he would (not) like to share.

Knocksomesense · 19/03/2020 18:48

Can I have some snacks? We're on day 10 of isolation so pretty short of anything tasty. I do have one bottle of cider left though...

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 19/03/2020 18:48

I could make coffee and walnut shortbread tomorrow. Maths and Home Ec.
