So you stocked up on bottled water, withdrew your cash and stripped supermarket shelves of canned food.
Now that the Y2K threat has dissipated, you have to work out what to do with your provisions.
The Herald has come up with some handy suggestions:
* Bury your 10-litre water container in the garden for a millennium time capsule.
* Invite the neighbours over for a giant baked bean casserole.
* Run the stereo on battery power for a few years.
* Use your candles for a shrine to Ken the Cockroach.
* Make a commemorative canned goods sculpture in your front garden. Call it Millennium Madness.
* Go for a long, long drive.
* Convert your water-filled bath into an indoor pond.
* Alternatively, donate your water to your local Metrowater protester.
* Resurrect a hoary urban myth: put the bottled water on your front lawn to deter dogs.
* Save your millennium-pack bucket - it's perfect protective headgear in case the sky falls.
For those who waited for the Big One to hit
