Can we do a lighthearted thread?

I am as worried and terrified as the next person but wondered if a lighthearted thread would help to ease the stress?

On a lighter note, we have no chocolate or crisps at home, hoping to rectify this in the next few days Grin but how does one refrain from eating the apocalypse supplies?! Grin

I’ve just done one lol

Ricekrispie22 · 11/03/2020 18:51

I’ve managed to get some hand gel which smells of love hearts and I keep sniffing my hands!

Ricekrispie22 · 11/03/2020 18:52

I’ve also rationed how much toilet roll my dc use. 3 sheets for a number 1, 4 for a number 2!

Ricekrispie22 · 11/03/2020 18:53

I’ve also done a ‘panic borrow’ at the local library, stocking up on books should I have to isolate for 2 weeks!

Purplewhitelie · 11/03/2020 18:53

Corona beer has suddenly had a price drop. Seriously Grin

MrsMaryBOOface · 11/03/2020 18:55

@Ricekrispie22 absolutely BLINDING idea about the library! I might do that tomorrow!
No hand gel here but good old fashioned soap and water, the soap is anti-bac Wine

I can’t possibly indulge in light banter as I’m busy making an Aztec pyramid out of 4587543 loo rolls.

MrsMaryBOOface · 11/03/2020 18:57

@Purplewhitelie I feel sad for them! Personally can't drink beer but I bet some people are cashing in!

I’m eating so much pasta I now don’t need the loo rolls.

I saw a Facebook post about reading 'covid-19' to the tune of 'come on Eileen'. I can't stop hearing the tune now whenever anyone says it 😂

MrsMaryBOOface · 11/03/2020 18:58

@SecretWitch you seem really busy.
Pray tell, do you have alcohol,
chocolate and crisps?

@Purplewhitelie gluten free here. Frozen potato goods are the one

It’s basically the premise of The Walking Dead. We’re all prepping for the zombie stage at work.

4G disappeared earlier and I thought ‘here we go’.

As long as I’m in Rick and Daryl’s gang I’m good with it.

PIPinghell · 11/03/2020 19:00

I am worried about people panic buying wine. If I have to stay inside for two weeks I need something to ease the pain.

MrsMaryBOOface · 11/03/2020 19:01

@PeppermintPasty I'm already working out which of the dog's food we would eat first

Right in the entrance of Lidl today-a TOWER of Corona beer. Subliminal advertising for stockpilers or what? Grin

Ricekrispie22 I am saving The Mirror and the Light for just that purpose.

MrsMaryBOOface · 11/03/2020 19:02

@PIPinghell we have a supply of alcohol but it won't last 2 weeks!

PeppermintPasty · 11/03/2020 19:02

Apparently Corona beer shares have nosedived in the US!

Purplewhitelie · 11/03/2020 19:02

I think I need to go gluten free. Will there be a potato shortage as well?
