Valentine's day was two weeks ago?!
Mr Pea is a plumber and heating engineer so sometimes needs to use a dust mask... when he tried to buy a couple last week, it turns out people have been panic buying them in packs of 50. I’m not sure a dust mask will even protect you from a virus?
The shelves of antibacterial soap in our Sainsbury's were stripped bare yesterday, but I never buy antibacterial soap on principle.
A whyte 203 for the boy and a tumble drier.

Was vomitting Friday night & Saturday morning, so definitely need to buy a Leatherman Squirt PS multitool right now.
Accessories for the turbo (tyre, sweat guard, HRM and zwift)
Figure if I won’t be allowed to go outside, at least I can still ride...
Was in Lidl just now and felt the panic. So bought tomatoes and kale. Don’t really like kale, but you never know eh.
Chicken fillets. 5 instead of the normal 3
Going to get a load of paint and decorating stuff in.. If we have to self isolate at least we can get on with the decorating.. (Not just an excuse to buy face masks without looking like I'm a prepper)
2 boxes of cat food, some laundry detergent, washing up liquid and 3 (yes 3!) blocks of butter. I had a £4 off £40 voucher from Sainsbury's.
Salted caramel cheesecake reduced to £1.80 in M&S only 2 left but there was loads of pasta.
Plenty pasta in Tesco's Dingwall. I only got one bag (did however chuck in a couple extra tins of chickpeas and chopped tomatoes, oh and some new soy sauce, you know just in case ...).

I'm just planning to make inroads in the 4kg of self raising flour we appear to have accumulated.
Drop scones everyday. It'll be ace.
I'm waiting for the Uber sale to get my pads - just down to 1 spare set for the missus MTB, and just a pair for mine.
I won't be panic buying anything else.
Some nice chedder with mango and Stilton, crisps and nuts, beans tuna plus bag of flower
If it gets really bad I shall borrow couple of hundred gallons of beer from work and spend a few weeks sitting the beach getting smashed.
The only advantage to living on an island shithole is the 1 road bridge on and off which I am assured will be blown to smithereens once the expected pandemic reaches Portsmouth hopefully be warm enough for windsurfing by then

Your fridge looks a bit different to mine... 
Very wise to isolate the coronavirus beer on its own but i do see a bottle of heinz ketchup with its back turned
I've just put a bigger chunk than normal into my S&S isa. I may even go totally mad and move another big chunk of cash savings in too in a couple of days.
Oh also bought two bottles of red from aldi.
Good times!
I may panic buy some more of Aldis rhubarb and custard hot cross buns - so wrong they are so right!

I picked up a cordless disc cutter they other day. I'm quite please with it although the dust guard doesn't work properly (I've contacted the manufacturer so fingers crossed).
but i do see a bottle of heinz ketchup with its back turned
In the fridge - how very middle class (both the keep it in the fridge and to try and crop it out of the photo)
I'm still in touch with my working class roots and keep my ketchup in the cupboard.

We're getting a rescue from dogs trust, could be a chewy though because he's ten+.
Ran out of normal tea bags today, with only decaf left I was persuaded to go to Morrisons and do a week's shop. I assume most people either ain't panic buying or can't afford to panic buy as it was as horrible as usual but no worse.
There was one chap with a worried look on his face, giant bag of pasta, uht milk, scooping up cans of stuff. He had the air of a worried squirrel about him.
I appear to have been buying lots of empty wine bottles; very strange.....
@mattbee that is genius
Excellent.
@mattbee that is genius
This, thanks mattbee
I panic bought a Skywatcher Skymax Maksutov telescope. It's not due for delivery for another few weeks (hopefully in time for my birthday), but I'm hoping to survive long enough to get a look through it.
Oh, and I'm probably responsible for the awful weather now because of this purchase.
