Just returned from the supermarket and was able to get my usual shop apart from loo rolls and spaghetti. Lots of people were shouting & even swearing at the staff when they were told that they couldn't buy certain things in large quantities. People should be ashamed of themselves! There wasn't a huge amount of bread left, but there were less empty shelves than i expected.

People don't like to be told they can't do something as well as people being scared which makes many aggressive.  We can no longer say 'it's a first World problem' either  :-\

I need moth balls - will there be a crisis on those?

What support were they able to give to the new mum?  A hug would'd to amiss, regardless. 

Now the supermarkets are going to take action - yeah. Right.

When all the freezers are full it should make it easier to get frozen goods

Still no loo rolls here. I was going to make chicken curry and rice tonight but still can't get any rice either nor any form of pasta. It will now be chicken casserole.😉.  No dog food but we are dogless now.

In a smallish Asda today,no chicken at all.The assistants are scared I think,we went to the self serve conveyor belt checkout and at the next one,this couple(kinda hard looking) were buying heaps of packets of noodles,the assistant came over and said,you?re not allowed that many,not sure what they said but the next thing,she's telling them they can buy them if they put them through separately WHAAAAAAATTTTTT!!! My daughter has been on social media and complained to them and I've emailed  them directly

This becomes a matter of allowing 5 people in at a time to keep control.  Or not stacking the shelves so that people have to ask. 

Tesco locally have removed their food bank collection point due to theft from it  >:(

I got my moth balls  ;D

 ;D. does that show my age  ;D - they don't sell moth balls but there are cedar rings and others to hang in cupboards and drawers to stop moth [which I found in a pair of my Granny's rabbit gloves last month  :'( - now over 100 years old and now ruined].
