Hell is ever closer-how's your stash looking? http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/eureferendumm2016/3646002-hell-is-ever-closer-how-s-your-stash-looking

Can't imagine anyone thinking that was OK for a youngster!
I can see circumstances where, with a close knowledge of someone so young, it might possibly by something you would suggest for an approach to heavy periods but, even then ..

Did a day trip to France today - 8 wineboxes and various other bits added to my stash. Also splashed out on some perfume I have wanted for years - Flora Botannica by Balenciaga. V expensive, but I can be pissed and smell great for the forthcoming Armageddon, right?!

@Orangecake well done for what you are doing for your sisters.
I keep thinking I'm done, then worrying that I haven't. It's the not knowing! I'm not an anxious person normally but the what if is starting to wear me down.

@Yolofish, I'm with you on perfume. I have a spare of my favourite too.

I got 4 boxes of tea bags, 2 kilos of cheddar (BBE Jan 20), loads of butter and crisps today. A Farmfoods special!

Well done on the wine, yolo!

@Socksontheradiator

Thank you for your kind words. I placed my order today which will hopefully arrive on friday. I got a lot of my sisters favourite things. I naturally tend to be anxious too, but just having something is better than nothing at all. If everything with brexit is sorted then all the extra food will still either be used up or donated. We can only just do our best- nothing more nothing less. I don't feel like I've done "enough" either. I only started taking it serious early august after I saw an article.

For anyone else who shops with Tesco they have the following on offer:

British Whole Milk Longlife Uht 1 Litre = 6 for £4.00 (you save 74p if you get 6).
John West Tuna Chunks In Sunflower Oil 4X145g was £5.00 now £3.50
Kit Kat 2 Finger Milk Chocolate Biscuits 9 Pack was £1.99 now £0.90
Sensodyne Repair & Protect Sensitive Soft Toothbrush was £2.80 now £1.20.
Doritos were £2.00 now £1.00 each.
Kinder beuno 4 pack £1.50 each instead of £1.79 I think.

Oh snap I forgot teabags!

@Yolo definitely the right attitude.

I have 30 bottles of perfume...is that enough?? 🤣😮

I think so Hoooo you will be fragrant! Did you buy the red leather jacket? (I think that was you...)

I have broken into my stash of lightbulbs and now we have light when we turn them on instead of waiting five minutes for them to flash themselves into life. They are very bright when turned right up. I had forgotten what it is like to be able to see clearly at night.

No more shopping though I have planted some raspberry canes in the church garden last week.

I need to stash the stash. But hey, with the lights turned up I should be able to read the bbd.

I need to check the teabag situation. Only dh drinks it so it isn't something I keep on top of, he is generally responsible for them himself, but I would like to make sure he has extra in.

@BlackeyedGruesome 's stealth raspberries remind me to remind you all to keep an eye out for nearby bramble bushes which should be fruiting now. You don't need to get into jam making if that's not your thing but they are a nice sort of low level foraging you can do with kids. Even if it's just a nice walk and pinching a couple as you go. They will be there next year too.
I had a bonus find of sloes - bush planted near a factory for some green. And for flavouring gin for Christmas last year. Obviously not for kids.

My older ones gave me a list when asked of things that they like back up of .Before anyone says don't s are the children ,they are older and brought Brexit up themselves. DD age 16 is most interested in politics and having a good larder as loves to cook

Ds1 is a particular squash he likes so gave me extra money to add to the shopping (is adult and working (
Dd is 16 and wanted spices and spare particular type of wok she uses a lot to cook
Ds4 does not understand as much so do not over discuss it just answer questions appropriately was worried about chocolate at Christmas but ha e that covered and other things he likes

Your children sound very wise Ginger
I'm having trouble stashing chocolate myself

Oh flouncyfanny I hope your day improves.

I have spare teabags stashed for church possibly. They were provided free in the holiday cottage.

Sorry about your injuries ff, two of those are not sufficiently Brexit related. Still pondering whether the third counts...

We have Brexit toe, first described by OYBBK
Brexit ankle, nasty woodpile
Brexit finger, scrabbling about in the stash.
SCOTUK Brexit thumb, Boris would like to claim it is nothing to do with Brexit but he seems to have buggered that claim up in his waffle yesterday.

As for blackberries. Inner city blackberries are to be located round the back of the garages and hanging over the fence. Ds grazes them. Ex has some covering his back yard.

Yup still OK for plasters.

Having tested out some of the Brexit supply, Tesco chicken curry was OK but had hideous reflux after it. I’m either going to stick to the sainsbury veg one or buy more gaviscon.

If anyone is interested, I have a 30% off a first shop from ocado and free deliveries for 3 months. I can't use it as they don't deliver where I live.

I have sinusitis and no money so grateful for my brexit stash so I can raid the biscuits.

Exactly what a stash is for. Feel better soon Bercows.
Bluebell that's kind. Shout out to Orangecake maybe?
