No choice but to go get shopping when meant to be isolating

Pretty much as the title says. I'm meant to be self isolating until the middle of next week but dont have enough food to last until Monday and am still recovering from possible CV (mostly bad cough, headaches and hearing loss at the moment). DP got ill a couple days before I did so is a bit better than me and would be the one to go shopping as he just has a mild cough, but we still shouldn't be going out. The only issue is I can't get food anywhere. No slots for supermarket delivery up until 16th April, cant get amazon fresh and next to nothing on amazon pantry for where I live, cant even get through to ocado and Deliveroo arent doing essentials grocery here. Even tried Beelivery but no drivers would take my order.

Has anyone found anywhere else that has some availability? I dont want DP to have to go out and risk infecting others but at the same time, I'm not going to let my 1 year old go without food. I've also run out of baby wipes and cant get the usual brand anywhere (pampers sensitive). The only ones available are huggies or amazon own brand, both of which have given DD rashes in the past so any advice on where to find some would be appreciated.

Yes Facebook should have some good options as people are keen to help.

're Calpol you could call a local pharmacy and see if they will deliver

Also call local corner shop and see if they will do a run with some supplies

If all else fails you are going to have to go to a supermarket you can't starve do a list and go, it isn't ideal but if you have exhausted everything else just don't do a "normal" shop.
