Not because I'm keeping a list of who has food for when the shit hits the fan... Just because I'm a nosy bitch.

Here's mine - I started adding to it a few weeks ago. It's only me and almost 5yo DS I really have to worry about so I feel its almost there.

I have soap, shower gel and baby bath for the kids.

I had bought a big padlock for my shed and your experience has made me feel that the time has now come to start using it. I was feeling a bit twitchy this week as I had a couple of parcels delivered whilst I was at work and they had left a note to say that the parcels were in the 'storage' shed. Yikes.

Sparkly re pastry - could you get a normal roll and cut with a cutter into the right shape, use baking paper to separate and stack them for the freezer?

Might do that myself; it seems plausible.

Can someone remind me if I can crack eggs into an ice tray and freeze? Do I need to cover it?

Again @PhilippeTL , go via MN HQ. No one with sense should be going public about their preps. It makes you a target for people who think they are entitled to it.

TheElementsSong · 11/03/2019 11:46

Seconded, bellini - I don't mention anything to do with Brexit, particularly not stockpiling, outside a very tiny circle of trusted people.

HeronLanyon · 11/03/2019 11:47

Blimey - that might be a story of itself ‘stockpiling and frightened of looters’ or similar. My rather boring stockpile is in my flat. If we are even contemplating anyone breaking into our homes to raid for food then heaven help us !!!

SparklySneakers · 11/03/2019 11:49

Not sure which thread is I've talked about medication but suspect all of them cover it.
I was getting my repeats today and bumped into an ex-colleague who's dw I used to look after in my hospital nurse days pre children. He was told one of her drugs was unavailable due to manufacturing problems. He said brexit was causing havoc at work and had been doing so for a while, especially with supply of epilepsy drugs.

I've done a stocktake of my own supplies today and have good supplies of everything bar dihydrocodeine. I can buy cocodamol if need be to keep for any emergencies. Can't take ibuprofen or NSAIDS due to GORD/gastritis and asthma. I rely on analgesia to function and would really struggle without.

bellinisurge · 11/03/2019 11:49

You don't want people thinking "I don't need to prep, I will just pop over to @HeronLanyon . They've got stuff if Tesco hasn't ". That's what you need to be concerned about. Cheeky fuckers not marauding looters.

HeronLanyon · 11/03/2019 11:53

My dp who I don’t live with has already come into the ‘potential cheeky fucker’ category as Brexit prep has not been featured there. I have stocked up some things just for dp ! Hmmm. Possibly good point (as always) bellini

S1naidSucks · 11/03/2019 11:55

PhilippeTL, with respect, I hope you don’t get any volunteers. Any time silly people have permitted their names and photos to be used, especially if Mumsnet is mentioned, they get mocked and called all sorts. Why would anyone want to put themselves in line for that? I, for one, don’t want every Tom dick and Harry to know I have a stockpile in the house, for those reasons and for the fact I’ve already had a couple of, thankfully, small items pinched from my, now locked and alarmed, shed.

You would be better asking for anonymous volunteers through MNHQ.

TheElementsSong · 11/03/2019 12:31

Cheeky fuckers not marauding looters.

Exactly - I can't particularly see any reason why my house would be targeted by looters unless they were looting every house on the street. Doesn't mean I want everybody of my acquaintance to know that I have supplies.

BlackeyedGruesome · 11/03/2019 13:37

There are lots of cheeky fuckers round here and they ain't knowing I have stuff. Hopefully they have not noticed any extra going in, though there has been plenty of rubbish going out as well.

I buggered my hip at the weekend, sitting down mainly, FFS, so shopping is on hold. I am about to eat my whole stash as I have just knackered myself hoovering( ouch) and scrubbing the carpet of soya milk where DD drips breakfast in the same place every morning. Hands and knees is more comfortable than sitting and walking and definitely twisting and straining to push a supermarket trolley.

There are not many things I need now other than for the fridge.

bellinisurge · 11/03/2019 13:41

Hope you feel better soon @BlackeyedGruesome

NoWordForFluffy · 11/03/2019 17:22

Can you get an online delivery, Blackeyed?

If the votes aren't conclusively looking like no deal is firmly off the cards I'll do one last chicken thighs, chorizo, flour and eggs shop this week. Then I will be sorted.

BlackeyedGruesome · 11/03/2019 19:43

Thanks Bellini, I am catching up on cleaning, and washing before tackling a supermarket trolley. We are not going to starve Grin

I need shreddies, one type of lightbulb, fishfingers, and stuff for the fridge.

The rest is topping up and increasing stocks of what we have.

I am trying another flavour mug shots tonight, if we like it I will get some more. They are good for a snack when I am feeling shit anyway.

AdoraBell · 11/03/2019 22:24

I’ve ordered more 🍷 I’ve decided if it does go pear shaped I shall drink myself into oblivion 😁

BlackeyedGruesome · 12/03/2019 10:15

Rain delayed play.

Will try and disappear a few more things.

havingtochangeusernameagain · 12/03/2019 15:52

I've just realised I need more Wine for my stockpile!!!
