I've always operated "does it smell off yet" test with milk and the "is it actively growing mould?" test on bread (as I toast it so it being a bit stale is irrelevant). So far so good!I have drunk skimmed 10 days after the use by date. No issues.

For example I finished a carton of semi-skimmed milk 4 days after is use by date and consumed the last slice of a loaf of brown bread also 4 days after its use by date and I did not taste or experience anything untoward.
Yes, these are extreme circumstances and we have to adapt, but it doesn't change the fact that I feel very cooped-up and, dare I say it, a slight sense of injustice that this has happened just as the fog was beginning to clear.
I find I'm getting through milk far too quickly for it to come close to its use-by date.In order to minimise the number of trips to the shops I need to do I've been finding myself eating / drinking stuff that is well past its "use by" date. For example I finished a carton of semi-skimmed milk 4 days after is use by date and consumed the last slice of a loaf of brown bread also 4 days after its use by date and I did not taste or experience anything untoward.

Be careful - the warning signs regarding Covid-19 have been amended to downplay breathing problems but to upgrade loss of taste and smell!In order to minimise the number of trips to the shops I need to do I've been finding myself eating / drinking stuff that is well past its "use by" date.

My car hasn’t been out at all as I can walk to the shops which gives an extra reason to be allowed out! Previous time it wouldn’t start, so wonder if it will now...Just been catching up with this thread and others on the forum after a strange week (like it has been for us all I'm sure). Bit of a worrying start to the week after my Dad ended up at the Doctors and Hospital with a recurring health issue which hasn't caused him any bother for several years. Thankfully, he's sorted for the time being and the aftercare support the NHS staff have given has been great - it isn't all about Coronavirus.
One or two on here have mentioned how strangely uni has ended for them. There's a similar story for a lady that worked at my place (although I didn't know personally). After 38 years service, she retired this week - and spent her last day working from home. Not the way you expect to leave.
I've kept myself busy all week, having spent three days working on a history of local bus operator's fleet which is something I've wanted to do for a good while but never had time. Still got a few queries to get to the bottom of with it. Some would ask why I've done it - I guess the answer is personal interest! Today was my first day working properly from home - things are now set up to enable a limited amount of work to be done from home, so it's being done on a rota basis and today was my turn. New ways of working with no access to some of the systems I normally use, so a bit of a learning curve.
My car must wonder what's going on. Last week, all it did was a trip to the supermarket and this week even less - moved it about 2 ft to give the bin wagon a bit more space when going round the corner!
Take care all...

I'm sort of grounded by my other half, - it's an age thing. Consequently, my car's battery was 3.8V this morning. There is a c. 400mA current drain on it so after a week it won't start, - indeed today I couldn't even unlock it with the remote. I've pulled every fuse one at a time and none of them seem to significantly affect the current drain.... My car is very used to just sitting on the drive, although I'll probably take it this week to do some shopping at a nearby supermarket, primarily so I can fill it up with the (relatively) cheap fuel we have at the moment!

how are we all doing today? I hope everyone is fit and well. Feel free to talk if you want to
Amazon have been doing just that by showing extended arrival times (then adjusting accordingly).
Yes I ordered a frying pan last Wednesday which had an advertised delivery date of early May which I accepted as whilst it was needed it wasn't catastrophically urgent. It appeared two days later...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-52123446Thousands of people have been missed off the government's high risk list for Covid-19 despite meeting the criteria.
Among them have been transplant patients, people with asthma and some with rare lung diseases.
Many are worried it will affect their ability to access food and medical supplies as they shield from the virus, unable to leave their homes for at least 12 weeks.
Is anyone else finding that they're sleeping for less time at the moment? I think it could be a combination of losing the commute, lighter mornings and general low-level nerves about the big CV.

It's less sleeping badly with me and more oddly specific anxiety dreams about going out and catching the virus
Last night I was seemingly in a town outside of Stevenage (I think it was Hitchin) attempting to catch a bus to there. When I boarded the bus (a Sheffield based TM Travel Optare Solo, no less) there were so many plastic screens blocking the driver that I couldn't physically get my phone under them to pay. Then the driver got out the cab and started breathing really heavily on me as he began talking.
We eventually departed, full, and I was questioning what exactly I was doing aboard this bus...
