Advice For Pre-Lockdown Me

This is a note to my previous self, today is March 1st so you have 23 days to do the following before the actions of one man in China eating a Pangolin stops the world in it's tracks. I can't say too much due to Space/Time continuum limitations so don't ask, just do the following: 
The first and most important thing is get your hair done, it is going to be at least July until hairdressers are open again and by then your dark roots will be exposing your little white lies that your hair is 'naturally that colour'.
Go to the e-liquid shop and buy as many bottles as you can fit in your bag. The Postmen and Postwomen will still be around but with a skeleton staff it will be at least a week between ordering it online and it coming through our door so doing your usual trick of waiting until you have one bottle left is not an option. 
Buy hand sanitiser, buy masks, buy flour, buy shares in Zoom, buy batteries but most importantly buy toilet Roll, for some reason everyone goes mad for toilet roll so at least a four nine roll packs should last, actually make it 5 packs, there is that mid April night with the dodgy curry and your husbands even dodgier stomach.
Don't plan anything for your birthday, it will be you, a pot noodle and a Cherry Bakewell that the kids found in the back of the cupboard with a candle stuck in it. Happy Birthday btw, oh and don't worry about what you are going to get Connor and Abi for their wedding gift.
Don't pass on that invite to go out to Carluccio’s for dinner arounbf the 14th, make the most of eating something someone else has cooked and before the person who cooked it is working at a supermarket. Then when you get home, sell shares in Carluccio's, Virgin and Shearings.
That's about it for now, keep me safe.
