Bloody Tescos delivery (light hearted)

My loo rolls, tins of tomatoes, bread and tea bags turned up but no bloody alcohol free beer. Now I will have to drink the hard stuff Angry.

Yes I know there are serious shortages which is a real problem for lots of people but clearly the 3 limit on things is working in my tescos although stopping me order more than 3 cans of AF beer is a bit annoying when I can get 3 big boxes of alcoholic ones Hmm

See we I dont understand the loo roll thing , I mean there are 4 of us I think I had 8 rolls before all this started and we now have 7 after a week so cant see the problem really. We seem to have been ok with alcohol and butter etc but we seem to eat the stuff noone else does

But eggs , that's the giant bug bear....next door has chickens , I mean I have no idea if they are egg laying chickens (or even is that a thing , you know non egg laying chickens?? ) . But it may come to that. Although I could cope with a creme egg substitution... be a bugger to scramble.

Yeah eggs is an odd thing to bulk buy but reading on here I didn't know you could freeze them so everyday is a school day. I don't have room in my freezer to try but maybe I should to avoid them going off. I do grate cheese and freeze it which has saved a lot of waste.

Just off to google if all chickens lay eggs.

I had made a pact with DH to not buy the extra large Easter egg this year but needs must and I might crack (no pun intended Grin) for my next order.

so I order cauli instead - savoy cabbage is what turned up

I think I can put you in touch with someone, they have cauli and wanted cabbage. Grin

The biscuits are kind of in my cupboards, I randomly buy packets not realising I have some already. Blush

missyjane2 you’re posting the same thing over and over on all these threads no matter what advice you’re given. You’re not going to starve to death.
I'm not sure about that.
But that's not the only thing I am worried about.
If what the Prime Minister is saying is true and it does take 18 months to get rid of this thing. And this so called social distancing actions as he is calling it goes on that long.
With whole shops and towns and cities closed.
Not because we cannot go out but because there will be no more shops or shopping centres or public places open.

With nothing for us to do but stay in our homes like in some horror film about world war 3 or the appocalypes where you can't go out.
And when you do the streets are liker a desert.

It's my whole life I am worried about.

I am 56 but I don't want to spend the last years of my life like this.
Yes you can die of old age at 56.
cept in this case I might die sooner of starvation or malnutrition.
