I was given quite a few eggs from a friend. It made my egg supply into a glut. I texted and offered 3 isolating neighbours some eggs. I only thought two of them would say yes but after I’d got back from leaving them on two doorsteps the third said “Oooo yes please!” ?. I now only have 4 eggs. ?

That's so funny grin

About three weeks ago my brother took my mother some bread, not knowing that his daughter had taken her some rolls and bread earlier in the day. She offered some to my aunt and some friends, all of whom are also isolating.

They all accepted, another niece turned up to pick it up and deliver it and she ended up without any at all as she didn't like to turn them down after offering. My niece ended up back at the shops to get her some more grin

My neighbour asked our street group if anyone had any spare tinned tomatoes. She now has enough to last her until the next decade, including from people who never use tinned tomatoes, but still had them in their store cupboards. grin

Hmmmm,....gives me an idea.
I shall send out SOS messages to friends and neighbours saying I need cake/chocolate/gin.I will claim they are essential to my well being ( which of course they are.)?

Lesson numero uno
Don't put all your eggs on 3 doorsteps

Gin

There was no gin in my online shop, I asked not to have a substitution.

Does anyone have a spare bottle of Bombay Sapphire?
