Mine - Jaffa Cakes, I have four packs, if you think AIBU I don’t care, I’m not sharing!

Wine yes, I can understand. Vimto makes my teeth feel all weird and not a fan of Bombay mix

We've been self-isolating for the last week and I didn't have nearly enough chocolate biscuits in Sad

I'm allowed out on Tuesday so will celebrate with a salted caramel kitkat. If I can get one - no idea what the chocolate situation is like!

@playthestation that’s disgusting!! (Completely understandable). You should be ashamed of yourself (hide the evidence)

@CuriousCapricorn and you are why we will all starve. Or not die from burning pop tarts full of molten lava

Books. Grin Just in case they stop delivering them (Amazon.)

ArriettyJones · 23/03/2020 01:14

Purdeys.

And Bridget Jones knickers. Massive cotton sloggi ones, two sizes too big. I am asthmatic. If I am going to be ill, I am damn well going to be ill in comfy knickers Smile

I used the last of my banking stuff today to make chocolate and hazelnut cookies... And then burnt them.

@Catname well that just became I thing to me, I had to google it as thought it a typo. I only think of Ikea as complex furniture jigsaw puzzles

@ilovesooty did the cats force you to write that against your will, can you respond safely? If you need help type “Cats are bastards” or in short form CABs. Praying for you 😥

I wish I'd panic bought a new mascara!

Dropped the wand on the car floor so I binned it.

But no-ones going to see me anyway as I's hiding.

I shall have to console myself with corned beef sandwiches.

73kittycat73 · 23/03/2020 01:46

@Thepigeonsarecoming No, no kindle. I do like a good physical book though. I do have an Amazon Tablet so if they stop delivering I suppose I could read books on there.
Enjoy your Jaffa Cakes! Grin

Cream crackers, I love them with salad cream (which I already had).
