Then it's on the search for hubby to get some Diesel for his car.

We managed to get some from Morrisons.Then the queues started to form.

I got my first Magic Bags of the evening from Morrisons in Astwood Bank.

The staff in the Petrol Station had not experienced the demand for petrol before.

They had run out of diesel and running low on unleaded.

Told them to write a funny message and leave it out for the car drivers when they run out of unleaded!

Then onto M&S which is also a Petrol Station.

They had run out of fuel except food.

I got my Magic Bag.

Moved onto Waitrose on the motorway services.

Not a lot of queues at that petrol station.

Got my Magic Bag.

Now back home to unpack them all!

Then we watched...

Then I looked into today's newspaper.
