I don'k know how but I've just about managed to survive. I only bought 76 pints of milk, 328 loaves of bread and a lorryload of toilet tissue on Monday. Thank goodness the shops have re-opened otherwise we could have been plunged back into the Dark Ages.
Well done Mr Co-Op for seeing sense and only closing for a brief period of time and allowing us to stock our cavernous larders, pantries, fridges and freezers with enough fodder to keep a decent sized central African country going for six years.

Incidentally, does anyone have any recipes for curdled milk and mouldy bread?

PMSL Errol, I was thinking along those lines when I went to Sainsburys on Sunday....

I overheard someone saying, Why are people doing all this shopping, the shops are only closed for one day!


We might just make the last of our milk last until the morning...thank goodness for the wine and beer we have in stock in case the milk runs out lol

hope you both had nice day yesterday,,

paint the curdles on your stone work to give it aged look,)),,,,,,,,,,the bread, I dont know ,, it would be cruel to feed it even to the ducks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ha ,,,,

Lucky you - Ive just been to Asda and Tesco's (in my pj's) and they are both closed!!! Grrrrrr Finally found a Tesco's express open and the queues were unbelieveable.

All I wanted was Milk, Beechams and more Soft Balm Tissues so I dont get a scabby nose.

well done Errol for such forward thinking - it's people like you wot makes this country of ours so great!!!! Love Ann XX

Beechams! Beechams! I knew there was something I had forgotten (although I probably wouldn't have been able to fit it in the car on Monday).
Praise be to the wise thinking of the Lord of Consumerism and His omnipotent presence on a High Street near you from Boxing Day for 364 days only.

you see its all the doom n gloom being bandied around, early in december,before the christmas holiday....woe! woe! the punters are not spending enough!!!!!!

As I always say, when trying to cram one last thing into my shopping trolley, always be prepared and ready for anything - or any seiges!
That is the spirit that got us our British Empire!!

all I bought today was a newspaper and a "Hello " -mag --treated myself --LOL

lol - AH Well gonna have a quick nap before my guests arrive and then worry about only having enough food for half the town when I am only expecting 6 - 8 guests lol

I used to work in the cash office of our local Boots and the tales I would hear of panic buying before Xmas were amazing. People would come into the shop to buy not one bottle of 100 Paracetamol but two (in the days before they were restricted) just to get them through to the 27th.
