No you can’t have anymore cornflakes. I had to fight 5 people for that box.

Did you disinfect the door handle after you came in?
Is your household symptom free? (Arranging delivery from small business before lockdown) they answered yes but I will wear gloves and a scarf over my face
There are parcels on the doorstep. Do you want to disinfect them?

I told my three cats that we have run out of cat food, so they went back to sleep on the end of my bed !

Would you like some alcohol gel with your tea?

Can I bring my kids into the supermarket or are children banned?

We only have enough PPE for 2 shifts, do we stick to guidelines or do we have to ask staff to wash them?

PotholeParadise · 31/03/2020 19:31

"The supermarket was completely out of pasta."

bobstersmum · 31/03/2020 19:31

We can't go a walk because ds will touch everything and then we'll die.

And, I wonder how Boris is doing?

Hi lovely neighbour if you are going shopping in the next 3 or 4 days could you get me some milk if there is any? Any size. Any type.
