Eurgh I do hate that part of decluttering ... the worse before it gets better but  😩 
I really need to have a huge push in decluttering / reorganising but just can’t find the motivation nor am I any good at decision making right now . Some of the decision feel just too big !
Good luck hope you get to the bottom of it all soon

Hey wannabe, if you can't get pasta, this recipe for gnocchi (potato pasta) is fairly straightforward to make. And if you want to make pasta, I recommend ribbons (easiest) but you could use the fork-roll method from the gnocchi to make your own version of spiral-like pasta. A basic recipe is here - I depart from the recipe because I don't have a pasta machine so I just roll it out and cut ribbons or roll it into thin sausages and cut it into little pieces that I either flatten with my thumb or pull my fork prongs across.

Also I just ordered six months supply of the anti-histamin tablets my family use (the little long tabs like zirtec - citirizine hydrochloride 10mg x30x6) for less than four pounds here. I ordered from the same people last year, so can vouch for them.

I hope you manage to get everything you need.  Sensible prepping should be welcomed, it's the people grabbing huge quantities of stuff and clearing the shelves for no reason that should be ashamed of themselves.
The schools are meant to be preparing school work to be completed at home in the event they are asked to close.  Your school might be willing to share some with you for the older two?  I don't blame you keeping them at home.

How are things today?

Suffolk the link for the antihistamine doesn't work so I can't see where it's from. Would like to see if youngests is on there please. 

There's a confirmed case at school. We've received an email that it's still staying open and has been cleaned over the weekend. This just reassures me that taking them out is the best decision for us. We already limit a lot of social things in winter anyway. School really is the biggest risk (and our appointments which most have now been cancelled/postponed anyway) 

I have managed to get a grocery delivery slot for Wednesday. So going to sort out that today. 

Everyone seems well. No new ailments anyway. Youngest is no different to usual. However on our 6th set of clothes since 6am! We where late with a set of meds last night so don't think that has helped things.

Thank you Joey have replied x

Thank you SA and sunshine x

We have a pretty slow and boring day. Have cooked and cleaned with nothing much else done. Smalls have had their baths and are now playing with toys. I feel a lot better knowing I've made my decision. 

I need to meal plan and finish the shop online to make it stretch the best. Also taking into thought some things may not turn up. Although I think it will be mainly the main meal items not store cupboard things.

Might be worth emailing the school and seeing if there are any home learning tasks set for those self isolating.
