    Same as. I'm wfh from home also. Although the temporary system they have put in place isn't working so IT are trying to fix it for all of us. I'm already getting annoyed by the sound of the washing machine and I wish the cat would make up it's mind on if he wants to stay in or out. I'm also struggling to keep my eyes off the fridge and treat cupboard.

    I’ve already had far too much coffee....

    Most airlines are offering refunds or allowing a date change. Check with the airline.

    They’re offering a date change free of charge at the moment, a refund won’t happen unless the airline cancel the flight. Aer Fungus won’t even talk to you unless you’re due to fly within the next 72 hours and when you do get through they’re charging 5 Euro to speak with an advisor.

    My wife insists on doing any painting as she says she's much better at it than I am.
    Who am I to argue with that? :biggrin:

    Whenever we get to normal, I reckon that I am going to struggle with the 6.00am wake up call to catch the 6.50 train downtown, this lie in bed until 8.00am malarkey is working out just fine
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    They reckon that calling it Covid19 has nothing to do with the year but everything to do with the 19 pounds that will be gained by sitting around eating snacks all day.

    I reckon they are right :whistle:

    Shamelessly stolen,

    I told my wife not to panic buy so why have I just found Andy Carroll in the kitchen.

    Well it made me laugh :biggrin:

    Tesco’s Beckton opened at 6am today. Got there at 6.05 just to try and do my weekly shop and the queue went around most of the car park - and it’s a very big car park! Fights at the front of the queue with people being accused of pushing in.

    I gave up!

    That video is heartbreaking.
    I'm afraid we live in this selfish me,me,me culture.
    My wife is a retired senior sister and still keeps in touch with colleagues she used to work with.They say a lot of companies are now giving out free food to nhs employees.

    Unfortunately it's better to go later in the day and just accept you'll have to take whatever's there. It's a hassle with the way people are behaving and increased risk by being in a crowd.

    Try cash and carries as well. I've seen Sri Lankan, Pakistani and Turkish shops that have plenty. Food's not running out, people are just being stupid.

    Agreed Outcast

    I nipped to my Local NISA yesterday, plenty of stock on the shelves.

    They were even baking, left with a Bakewell tart, Doritos and freshly baked rolls :biggrin:

    The shop manager said she was keeping baskets of essential items aside for her regular older customers. And not allowing anyone to clear her shelves on their own, she stopped one woman from buying eight bags of pasta!

    I have spoke to some people(on the phone)who do still not realise how this virus works?They will say it's okay to come round as "we are all fine" without realising that the incubation period could be up to fourteen days.

    Tescos Leyton -no toilet roll

    Little corner shop next to Leyton Midland Road station - toilet roll a-plenty.

    Guess where I go for toilet roll?

    Crazy. You could give it to them or they could give it to you. It's just keeping the transmission going. :angry:

    I have just received, at 11 45am, an email from Waitrose stating that as from today they will dedicate the first hour from opening to the elderly and vulnerable etc.
