Ha! Glad I raised a chuckle.
Thankfully I’ve opened a Tesco online account on behalf of my mum (70+, living on her own in Norfolk) so I’m arranging fortnightly deliveries for her now. Hopefully supermarket stocks are getting better, so she should get most of it.
It seems flour is the new bog roll, trouble is it makes a right mess but I've got a steady supply of brownies.

At least you have plenty of toilet paper to clean up with then....
Not a 'poor me' post but just wanting to point out that some of us who don't fall into the category of 'vulnerable' but nevertheless have cr*p health are struggling with getting our shopping.
By sheer fluke I bagged a 'click and collect' slot several weeks ago but now there are none to be found. I went to a supermarket for a basket shop and queued for an age to get in, all in all it took me nearly 2 hours which left me wiped out for the rest of the day.
Just a polite request that those who are physically able to get to a supermarket should consider doing so. I need to minimise my time outside due to Lyme disease with an impaired immune system plus overwhelming fatigue. Now having to make visits to different non-supermarket type shops which isn't ideal but is less physically taxing.
Not sure if it's an option for you CG, but we've found going to the shops when it's kids lunch or dinner time is much quieter.
Thank you @jimdubleyou for those suggestions. I'm just concerned about how 'slow moving' it would be in the supermarket and whether there's enforced distancing. Lunch time could work but definitely not dinner time as by then am simply too tired.
Just back from local-ish greengrocer who also sell both fresh and frozen food plus household stuff. I can cope with shopping there, you have to wait to be allowed in but it was quick. Obviously you don't get the selection of a supermarket but am trying to adapt. I could ask my daughter but she lives an hour away and is still working.
Certainly round here, the supermarkets are fine if you pick your times well. 9am and you’ll be queuing to get in, 8pm and you won’t be.
There’s also loads of stock, bar yeast and flour, so no issues there.
In truth, it’s all very civilised from what I can see, I’d be happy if it stays like this.
