I'll reiterate. Lighthearted. Assuming medicines don't count (you have an unlimited amount and they've invented a way to administer medical need virtually)

I've only got half a bottle of wine left so that's shit. Maybe a small amount of vodka in the freezer.

We always have tons of pasta but there's little to have with it. Oh! Frozen spinach. That'd help a bit. Dd is parky so she would complain until eventually caving and eating the weird pasta spinach concontion.

We would run out of deodorant within 5 days so there will be lots of showers.

I was thinking I’d be ok. Then I saw some videos of the blocks of flats in Italy. In one, a man hangs over the balcony playing the saxophone, someone is banging something in tune and someone sings. Others join in. More and more join it.

Then I realised that I would go postal... my neighbours on either side have small kids and they are Frozen and Lion King crazy.

I still have the tinned stuff, jars of pasta sauce and dried pasta and rice from Brexit. There is also all the stuff that I buy and we have not eaten - more tinned stuff and some frozen stuff. We always have frozen baked potatoes and quorn sausages in the freezer and lots of frozen soup. There are about 5 boxes of crackers and 3 loaves (frozen). Two dozen eggs. Some cheese. A couple of tins of tuna. No other meat or fish. Quite a bit of fresh fruit and veg. I think there is dried milk. Maybe 3 weeks worth of some kind of meals.

We have loo roll and liquid soap and disinfectant and washing stuff- always have plenty in. Ok for toothpaste and shampoo. We'd manage 3 weeks pretty easily but that's it.

I reckon at least a month but some of the combos might not be great. Breakfast will be the challenge as we'll be out of milk and bread in a week. I also have a guinea-pig so the lack of fresh veg once we've got through what's in the fridge would be problematic. I have enough gin to last the whole street for weeks so think I'll be covered on that score!!
