Mostly bad weather.
However, as I had decent general storecupboard supplies in, and the freezer was in OK nick, I actually managed reasonably OK over the autumn. DFIL was very unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer, and DH had to travel "down home" for an awful lot of the following 5 weeks (he spent about 3 nights in his own bed - between time down home and a couple of foreign work trips), many of those being urgent calls. I had a hectic workload, and managing DD on my hands. And only having 1 car meant that I rarely got to the shops (DD and I spent a lot of time down there too, just less than DH).
DH has had to spend all but 1 weekend since there - as not only was his DM very unable to cope, but her 1st cousin (DMIL is effectively next of kin and had been bringing DCousin to hosp appts etc for years) also had a very short cancer DX to death journey which started the week after DFIL's funeral. So we were down for the month's mind and back down again for another funeral in short order. Then Christmas. And DH still needing the car.
I did one internet shop, but everything was so up in the air that I couldn't plan on being home for deliveries.
But we managed to have dinner on the table every night we were home (we ate out a handful of times, to get out rather than necessity), DD had lunches for school, and I found food when I was utterly floored by a chest infection just before Christmas and in no mood to cook let alone eat. And I was able to bring what I needed for making various meals, baking and components of meals to MILs (between the dark days and just feeding people food, much needed cake at times, and being the provider of all veggies for the Christmas dinner for 12 people too).
We are buying a new car (I get to collect it in 10 days), so we will go back to a 2 car family (we had been single car until DD was born, then 2 cars for 8 years and back to single car for the past 2 years). I desperately need to restock the freezer properly, especially with (HM) dinners and the makings of dinners. And do a proper clear out of cupboards and restock.
But it was sooooo helpful to have the stocks on hand. In a way I never anticipated.
And because we have reasonably organized systems around travel anyway (between regular weekends to the ILs and my own DPs, work travel for both of us, and the odd family trip), I was able to have 1 set of bags left packed for when the worst happened, and another for "grab and go" nights/weekends, during the chaos and since. So DH hasn't had to do too much thinking (which he really hasn't been able to - just react). Like re-filling washbags when we got home rather than leaving it until we needed to go again, and leaving those, clean underwear/pjs and a couple of clean outfits ready to throw into a bag or already packed.
