My dad told my brother to go and stock up on tins of soup

Pasta, soup, long life milk, tea coffee, tuna/sardines, passata, cereal, frozen veg, toilet roll..no meds yet :think:

I feel like a fool for buying 8 light bulbs because they was on offer.

Is it the end of the world then fgs ?? :notimpressed:

im going to buy extra at auction and put in store for the foreseeable just in case

I bought a bunch of stuff to sell at inflated costs to people who panic later <3

:joker: tbf the soup was half price Crosse and Blackwell

oh and crackers and cheese, and crisps

Off again tomorrow, any suggestions welcome

have you seen what happened in Italy re lockdown, its not exactly China is it, so could easily happen here, I like a packed store cupboard anyway it's because I hail from rural Ireland where you could be snowed in for a week or more when we were young !

I'm well aware of what's going on and it's worrying yes , but the panicking is a bit much .

Its being prudent if everyone buys a few extra bits there wont be a rush if it goes pear shaped, I would have that in my cupboard anyway, just a bit more of it :laugh:

its guns and ammo we need

:worry:

:notimpressed:

People avoid you at the best of times

yes firepower :laugh:

the TL is Ill

:worry:

she wanted to have an easter egg for tea but i am making her fishcakes

she is on the sofa in her jammies with a bottle coughing

:omgno:

I haven't brought anything that I don't usually buy,lol, are people really panicking that much ? I am panicking now as I haven't panicked.lol

Ridiculous isn't it :rolleyes:

Me, Sherriff, LT and Oliver will be chowing down while Goldheart and Kaz starve :dance: Well Sheriff will be eating lightbulbs but still

Im worried now incase I am not taking this as seriously as I should,:laugh:

Butter and cheese for the freezer.
Bread flour..yeast. Plain flour, self raising flour. Raisins for scones.
Sugar, tea bags, coffee, coffee mate.
All sauces and pickles.
Tins of everything..fill the freezer with meat and veg and fish.

Toiletries of all descriptions.
Toilet rolls by the 100.

Basically brexit part two.
Hubby reckons Tesco will be sending the driver round here so they can fill their shelves.

Stocks of some stuff is already unavailable.
Hand sanitizer is like hens teeth.
Noticed a few items out of stock in Asda as well.
Hubby has always called me a war bride because I stock up when stuff is on offer, comes in handy at times mind.

We are pretty well stocked up anyway,but might not hurt to top it up :laugh::wavey:

Baby wipes as well Kaz.😷😷

When the Ebola crisis hit , I still carried on as normal. What good is panicking going to achieve?? .

Like I said it's worrying with the coronavirus, but the fear mongering is too much .

Yes smudgie and plenty of nappies , although the potty training has come to the fore now :hee: lets hope it doesn't come to too many shortages.

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail :hehe:

were towns in Italy locked down during ebola ...no

Was Venice a ghost town...no

this is completely different, Ebola was pretty much kept in Africa apart from one Scottish nurse, how you can compare the two is incredible

British Airways and Ryanair have cancelled hundreds of flights between the UK and parts of Europe and the US due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The BA cancellations include journeys between Heathrow and Italy, France, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland and Switzerland - plus New York's JFK.
The airline has also cancelled flights between Gatwick and Italy, France and Albania - and London City flights to and from Italy and Germany - after another spike in COVID-19 cases in the UK.
BA said the changes to its timetable as a result of the coronavirus outbreak would see "a number of flights merged between 16 March and 28 March".

I really didn't think it was that bad, until today really , hopefully most of it is asking us to be cautious, and more hygenic ,but yes we have to be as normal as possible.

Tinned peas , carrots , soups , corned beef , spam , smash , painkillers

yass Smudge, although I didn't bother with Brexit stockpiling :laugh:

Its not like the food will spoil, hopefully there will be no issue but it doesn't hurt to be ready

Like I said there's always been bugs & viruses, you just have to be careful :shrug: .

I'm not even eating that much lately. Getting over some stomach flu. Hope I don't find empty shelves :fist:

I bought a few extra tins etc and have loads of pasta and pasata and I always bulk cook and freeze. Not panicking at all but worth being prepared

Is this a thing?

I need to know?

It's panic hysteria & fear mongering :rolleyes:

There will be a few people doing it, it depends if there are a lot more cases then people will get more worried.

Well if there is a shortage it will kick start a few diets.
