    Got toilet rolls yesterday.

    Went to local shop asked if they had any and was allowed four loose rolls. They keep them under the counter now.

      Miss V3 is on her 5th Tonsillitis bout. we have spent most of the day getting a doctors opinion and medicine.

      Miss V3 preferred my choice of a cure, a Mini Magnum to wash down the Antibiotics.

      I have been to three pharmacies and got medicine from a fourth (the Pharmacy I was queuing at had run out of the stuff I needed).

      While I was out I also went into Aldi which had almost everything so 18 toilet rolls richer I came home.

      Neither young or lazy!

          There again, listening to me on marriage advice, given my record(*), might not end well....

          (*) my CUK record which has nothing to do with reality.
          I don't have children. I followed the advice of one of my former teachers, who suggested that if I refrain from fathering children*, the world would be a better place. I think, looking back, he probably didn't like me very much.

          *That's not exactly how he phrased it.

            The wife laughed when I got 30kgs of rice, pasta and flour at the start of February, another 20kgs of frozen meat.

            Shes not laughing now. Nobody laughs after a Farmfoods meatball.

              It's like the good old days buying porn mags. I just said that out loud, bugger...

                I wonder what the postage charges are on this?

                  That's a lot of fibre. Have you done a full risk assessment in the event you run out of bog roll?

                    If you don't get a free handgun with every order, it ain't worth it. Fortnums are offering a pair of Purdeys, but you have to spend over £250k. That's a lot of gin. I think I'll stick with the local Co-op. There's a rumour that they might one day have some food.

                      Sainsbury's was also doing a queueing system. It was quiet and well organised.

                      Two bottles of Apothic Inferno plus one of Roku gin (on special offer at £25) acquired. Oh and some food. Hot cross buns, some kale, fishcakes, a quiche. Also a bunch of flowers as a home without fresh flowers is a sad place to be.

                      @Mordac - plenty of Taste the Difference triple choc cookies in the fresh baked section.
