How on earth am I supposed to self isolate?

Hi, I'm in a bit of a sticky situation and need some advice.

DS today got a high temperature out of nowhere. I called 111 and they've said I need to self isolate. However, I'm a single parent to DS, who's father is legally not allowed near us and for very good reason. My parents are both at risk and already self isolating, and the two friends I have who live nearby have both gone to stay with family far away. Every delivery slot of every supermarket is booked, and I cannot drive to do click and collect.

So, on Friday I'll be really running out of food. I don't know my neighbours (they all keep to themselves). What the hell am I meant to do? Even my local Facebook is saying they can't take any more requests for help as they're prioritising the elderly, which I completely understand, but in short, I'm screwed aren't I?

Probably been said already but keep an eye out I got a Tesco slot for tomorrow earlier today. Kids at home and don’t want to juggle going out. I keep checking a few times a day other supermarkets may be the same

Which area do you live in op? Try to get a morrisons box. They do meat or vegetarian one's for £35. You could try ringing childs school. I am teacher and would drop off a few basics for child in need.

Please please tell me Phil is single and of an appropriate age for you? This could be the start of an amazing coromance 😫🙌🏼
