Plague 5

So ive been out foraging this morning yet again , a single breadloaf from the coop but i needed to be there to get cash , i was visiting the little portacabin on the fen ..aka Derek Meeds Tin Factory at Langrick Bridge there before 9 there was a queue but nothing dramatic .  Got Useful son most of his grocery needs , his job has gone and hes got a stinker of a head cold so not Corona , hes gutted hes stuck at home when theres tons of jobs in security being offered , we are aware he will be struggling money wise so hes now got a months groceries to keep him ticking over . The Tin Factory had mountains of stock they usually supply the pubs and restaurants , so do a lot of catering size packs . they also stand the markets at weekends , plenty of pasta , beans meatballs and ravioli , tinned soups , they even had the elusive bread yeast . I was only buying needs so just got a case of beans for stock and more noodles for sarcastic son . From next week they are starting local deliveries , they have always been a well kept secret its been there since i was a child . Some in the queue were muttering at a bloke loading his people carrier up , but he has 6 kids and Boston has been picked clean so i dont blame him, he left a copy of his list for delivery next week . the stress that those with big families are under is ridiculous all because those with a bit of money have gone out and shopped like locusts .
The chicken factory staff shop is another people arent aware of , i got a couple of packs of boned chicken thighs and 2 big bags of Chinese chicken thighs , it splits down and thats the freezer full again . Every day they have different products so last night must have been thigh night , its dirt cheap but its card only .  So thats the local grocery story for today , im going to wrap up warm and play in the garden in the bitter wind , wish me luck

  1. I am glad we give you such generous benefits and that you contribute so much to the economy as do your charming extended family.

  2. No meat, no bread and very little veg is the feedback from neighbour's. I'm trying to manage on what I've got for a few weeks in the hope things get a little calmer.

  3. How exciting.........you have a troll.....what fun!

    That tin factory place sounds very useful - is it because you are in the middle of food farming area? here there would only be wheat, barley, oil seed rape and sugar beet to eat

    1. Not a troll, darling. An ACTUAL carer, of someone with a genuine disability. For over 25 years as it happens. This creature is a leech. Odd isn't it how she can bugger off and play at jumble sales and whatever cos matey boy doesn't NEED care.

      Yet, ( check her older posts ) when she had a Carers assessment by phone, she was on here drivelling away about the need to be up by 5am in order to do his " care " to allow her to take the booked phone call at 9am.

      Seriously ?Do any of you actually believe this ? If she has as much free time as she obviously does .........then get a job. Contribute. But no, she devotes her free time to drivel on here.

      I'm a carer. I'm a volunteer. I work.

      You want to read a blog about an actual carer, read Hard Up Hester.

    2. As you can see this troll has been here for years , they have so little life of their own that mine is fascinating to them . Ilona has fun with this one as well . But there are so many other nice anonymous posters on here that i dont block it

    3. Never posted to Ilona, why would I ? Shes an intelligent woman with a well -written blog about self reliance.

  4. you boomers are shutting down the entire economy because you're afraid of a flu. Seriously, can you boomers kill yourselves? You are the most selfish generation to ever exist. You don't give a shit about climate change, why should we young people give a shit if you get sick and die of some virus? I HOPE the virus gets much stronger and kills you all.

    Do you boomers realize how universally hated you are? There is not one single demographic that does not hate you- white people, black people, asians, mexicans, indians, chinese, millennials, GenX, GenZ. Something tells me that you boomers are not going to have a very comfortable or easy retirement, especially once you end up in the retirement homes.

    Can you baby boomers hurry up and fucking drop dead? Enjoy your retirement homes cause we younger people will not take care of you even if we wanted to, due to the shitty economy you boomers created. Do you boomers realize that the younger generation is simply waiting for you to fucking drop dead?

    You are all going to end up in retirement homes and we all know that the elderly gets treated pretty badly in retirement homes. Well, that's what you get for ruining your own children's lives. Even if your children WANTED to take care of you, they couldn't, due to you boomers destroying the economy. So I hope you enjoy the retirement homes, boomer scum!
