I did the loo roll too.
So it`s in the downstairs loo for visitors.
But the best thing i did was freeze milk,cheese and bread.
So when the cueues were horendious i used the asaid three items up then replaced them when possible.

Dried milk. I can use it in cooking I suppose.

Same here for cheap n scratchy loo paper.

Also giant bag of basmati rice bought in error, and as I’m low carb will have to add to my will!

I have bread I’ll never eat in the freezer as our usual wasn’t available- Headed for bread and butter pudding I think!

Try warming it up Mary, and then put knots near the handles. We used to do skipping in our dancing class at school!

Yes. A skipping rope to keep fit. The very last one in Sports Direct as they'd had a rush that weekend. I unwrapped it & not only is it too long but also the (relatively) hard plastic rope never unkinked after being folded, so it's useless!

Just coming to the end of some cheap, thin loo paper bought in haste in the week before lockdown. Will be so glad to get back to our normal quilted variety. Did anyone else buy in haste and repent at leisure?
