I can't drive, but even if I could, not sure I'd drive 120 miles to save so little.
Besides, while I don't know Nottingham prices, I doubt London is cheaper.
The last thing I bought, besides cleaning products? An Oculus Quest VR headset. Not, strictly speaking, necessary, but we went in to lockdown nearly two weeks before the country did (my niece had a high temperature, but showed no other symptoms, and has since recovered so I think it was just a bug). I think the VR headset will help with the boredom. Sadly out of stock everywhere, but Scan appear to think they will be getting stock on the 28th. Not sure if they will, but I've ordered it.
This is also the reason I get angry when I see the video of people having fun in the parks when they are told they should. I've followed the rules, and been in lockdown for 5 weeks. They aren't following the rules, have been in lockdown for 3 weeks, because of them, we are all likely to be in lockdown longer.

Sorry but that shows a little naivety. We were always going to be placed in lockdown for more than three weeks regardless of if a portion of society decided not to follow the rules.
You can't just say to the population en masse that they will be locked down for 6,9 or 12 weeks there would be immediate civil unrest.
