As you seem to keep on posting about my " panic buying " , i guess you want / need a response from me, so here goes, maybe then you can move on with your life, i suspect it will not help, but i can only try
" matt's massive panic buying spree that actually wasnt " list
1 pack of 9 toilet rolls
5 cans of soup
3 cans of mixed beans
3 cartons of UHT milk
3 boxes of cereal
Now in the last 2 weeks, if you have been to a supermarket, you will realise that was hardly panic buying
as for the other 2 big shops, they were our weekly shops, something we do once a week
I hope that has cleared up your embarrassing infatuation with me
What has doing the girls bedroom got to do with the family living out of boxes, do you normally store everything in the girls bedroom? I can't see the direct connection.
Did you have to move house for more room to stockpile all the lasta and tins that you panic bought earlier?
This and the previous posts are a thinly veiled attempt to make up for the original post in the "Panic buying thread", but poorly done.
This list doesn't for example mention sheets of pasta as in "There were a few packs of pasta sheets left so I 'grabbed' them".
Remember the old rule, "When you find you're in a hole........."
On another note, I had the misfortune to be in Morrisons in Wincanton yesterday and everything in the shop was very orderly. there were toilet rolls on the shelves and no empty shelves anywhere in the store. People were very polite and everyone greeted the armed guard at the front of every check-out queue with a cheery smile.
There were a few dead bodies in the car park where people had been taken down by the machine gun nests at the automatic doors trying to flee with more than the ration of certain items, as per decreed by the Wiltshire mafia, but in general things were normal, (well for wiltshire) no one trying to rob the dead bodies or steal their trainers. Mind you at that time it was still daylight.
Pandemic profiteering US style.

Coronavirus: US man who stockpiled hand sanitiser probed for price gouging
A man who stockpiled 17,700 bottles of hand sanitiser to sell on Amazon is being investigated for price gouging.
Matt Colvin, from Chattanooga in Tennessee, told the New York Times he had faced a "huge amount of whiplash".
Online platforms have cracked down on sellers listing coronavirus-related items at inflated prices.
Mr Colvin later said he would donate his goods but on the same day Tennessee's attorney general opened an investigation, the Times reported.
Mr Colvin said that from 1 March, the day after the first coronavirus-related death in the US was confirmed, he and his brother had spent three days driving across Tennessee, buying up all the hand sanitiser they could find.
He then listed the bottles on Amazon, selling some for as much as $70 (£57).
Most people where i live i'm sure wouldn't know what an artichoke was or looked like!!!
My theory is that people are using toilet paper as a substitute for pasta in lasagne.
