It'll come back to haunt me next time I need to use a hotel shower...….shudder.

On the subject of staying in motel like places never use the kettle in the room. More than a few use it to piss in to save getting up to go to the en suite bathroom. Really.

Re: Are you stocking up just in case?
Now when we do occasionally stop off in an el-cheepo overnight place we NEVER use any utensils or packets of biscuits or ANYTHING for fear of it being possibly deliberately contaminated by a previous occupant "for a joke". Even little bottles of shampoo we now don't trust.
Silly?
Possibly, but you just never can know for certain.

I've just read a story published in today's DM about a newspaper in Darwin, Australia, that has included an 8 page supplement, marked up otherwise blank pages, in toilet paper sized squares, so the locals won't go without because there's a shortage of loo paper. You couldn't make it up.

Now I'm worried.
No-one knows what is coming down the road. All we can do is hope that it doesn't knock on our doors. I'm really thankful that it may not have much effect on younger people, there are so many in my family, I would be worried sick if that was the case.
As regards HWMO and myself? I put a bottle of Gin on my shopping list last week, as well as tonic water and organic lemons. If things get really bleak we will just have a cuddle and a nice G&T with ice and a slice, and give our two darling pooches an extra cuddle. A couple of those and I'm invincible!!
Every day is precious at our age so will continue to live each day normally and hope for the best that it won't be our turn to fall off the conveyor belt.
I know we are in the group of 'glad I'm not in their position', but there's nothing we can do about it so we're just going to make the best of it.

I've still donated a couple of purchases to the local food bank though, they will be the ones who won't be able to afford to buy any extras.No-one knows what is coming down the road.

Life goes on, as they say! 
There's also an old saying that states something like 'change what you can change and learn to accept what you cannot change'.
