How do I make DH take this seriously?

[LaMarschallin]

He has no idea!

I suggested we top up the car with petrol two days ago (we're practically running on fumes).
No, no...
Because it was busy and he couldn't pull in on the side he prefers.

Today I got up early and walked to our local supermarket for a few bits and pieces and saw - with my actual eyes! - that there's no meat or vegetables.

I walked because I don't drive. My husband does but didn't feel like getting up early.

I've just told him that at 7am there was a queue of 30 people outside the supermarket.
I've told him that it's unlikely that M&S (his big plan) will be any better.

It's not food; it's M&S food.

It's not BLOODY MAGIC FOOD, YOU TWAT!

I told him that I think it's unlikely there'll be meat and/or veg or lots of ready meals (his other big plan. Our freezer is tiny, btw).
He said: "We'll see", turned over and pulled the duvet over his head.

Sorry for the shouty sweary bit.

But if I don't vent here, I'll murder him.

(If I do, does human meat work in pork recipes? And if anyone is able to give me an alibi, I'll share the odd spare rib)

I think the reality sets in at a different pace for different people. I thought my partner was taking it seriously and then he suggested yesterday that we host a dinner party Saturday night since it's boring being in the house on our own.

He doesn’t sound too bad. At least he has a plan, even if it is a bit naive by assuming food will be in.

I do have to point out that most small shops are empty first thing in the morning as their deliveries usually arrive in the window between 8 and 10am (in my experience)

Right, well...

Annoyingly (or thankfully, if I wasn't someone who always wants to be proved right) there was a chicken on the shelves of M&S.

One.

I bought that and some potatoes.

Met up with Mr LaMa by the car (funnily enough, we were on non-speakers by the time we arrived at the shop).

Me: So, I'm thinking chicken dinner tonight, chicken and bubble and squeak tomorrow, pasta bake the day after, lentil and vegetable soup the day after that and curry on whatever day that gets us to.

Him: I got two ready meals and a pack of pre-cut veg. They were on offer.

Argh!

I know I sound like the archetypal MNer who can feed the world from one chicken thigh, but it seems reasonable to think ahead a bit.

I'm now eyeing him up and wishing I'd bought a jar of sweet and sour sauce.

Urgh I feel exactly the same! My DP continues to go into work despite being able to work from home (he’s an accountant FFS!) and played football with his mates twice this week. I’m working from home and I’ve tried to get shopping every day this week with limited success. I wonder they are in denial or haven’t really seen how bad things are in supermarkets etc.

He's just told me - and is massively surprised - that beer festivals have been cancelled.
Me: Really? Things are bad.

Him: I know! Mad, right?

Me:

The beer festival thing may sink in.

But I wouldn't bet on it.
