    Me and Mrs.D once played with gold in the kitchen after panic buying.
    We still haven't got burnt.

    Thankfully no one seems to be panic buying where I live (Aberdeenshire)passed two petrol stations yesterday and only 2 cars in each.Very glad the goverment didnt advise people to stock up on food in case the delivery vans couldnt get fuel,it would be chaos at the supermarkets with all the shelves being stripped bare.

    I filled my freezer with pasties and my garage with volatile liquids. I don't send letters so I'm all ready for Easter here! :D

    I got petrol by accident this week :o, our local supermarket had deadlock with queues for petrol blocking the exit so they had three men directing traffic. I was trying to get around the queues when one of the men removed a traffic cone and diverted me through the petrol station where one person was filling up in front of me. The forecourt went wild honking their horns and waving their fists, I had to lock my doors :eek:. I had at least 100 miles left in the tank but felt obliged to fill up.

    No, no panic buying here...couldn't afford it even if I had wanted to!
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

    We have half a tank of diesel, one byke, a pair of legs and a bus pass so we will not start to panic yet!
