If something HUGE was to happen ..

[MaDuggar]

... how long could you survive with what you have in your house right now?

Do you have any tins/bottled water etc put away in case of a emergency?

Have been frealing myself out reading some wacky conspiray sites (all baging on about something huge happeneing in the next 2 weeks) - Im not be;lieveing it, but it has made me think that one day there could be an event and I probably would only last a week with my store cupboard!

To purify water! Maybe I should just get that little pump thing on the zombie amazon list.

Those pumps take ages to get any amount of water. You can have half my bottle of iodine, but you will need strong teabags or your tea will taste funny. Or add whisky.

And block radiation in your thyroid :)

Can I vote we go to MmeLindt's, after all she is in Switzerland and has a Bunker. I also rather like her name.

I can add 2 shotguns and 2 airguns to the weaponry pile. Plus various axes and a chainsaw or 2. DP likes chopping stuff down lol. I knew it would come in handy one day. He will also be able to service the MNbusmobile and sort out any engineering/electrical problems.

He is Handy. And potentially a good breeder, although I am not currently prepared to share.

I can cook, ride/loot and have a my first aider certificate. I am also a font of useless knowledge that may possibly come in handy one day.

2 plane crashes, a volcano and lots of rain in Haiti.
Hmmmm.

no need to worry about water guys, it always rains in England. Just put some cups outside

I think The Day After Tomorrow has arrived.

Am off to stock up my OFRS today. Sod taking my charge swimming. The end of the world is nigh.

Am starting to feel a bit worried now - not least because its ds's birthday on 19th so if it all ends prior to that he'll be following me around in the afterlife whingeing that he didnt get his DSi XL for all eternity .....

All those Christmas presents are going to go to waste. And none of them are even remotely useful for the OFRS/Cupboard of Doom. At least any survivor who breaks into our house will smell gorgeous and have plenty of reading material.

The cookbooks DD1 wanted aren't going to be much use, I can see galangal and tamarind paste being a bit short in supply.

Its my birthday on the 14th too! Cn the spocalypse come in the evening so I get my fternoon tea first although if it came when at said posh hotel we at least would have good stock of food & wine...

Oh and I know where there re some unwanted warships if they are any use?

Ah now you're talking. How handy would a warship bie. The HMNS Boden?

I think we need the following:

1. An itinerary
2. A checklist of vital equipment
3. A series of online checks that will allow the computer literate OHs to ascertain whether the UK has resumed normal service - I am not relying on Radio 4.

Oh and 4) a definitive passenger list

If we have a warship we can just happily sail round the world looting and pillaging as we go

Aha now were getting piratey - I like it - I'm in! DS has an excellent Captain Jack costume and is also very small for nearly 9 so can I bring him too?

That didnt take long.

One minute we are considering the human race hanging on against total anihalation and mere survival and the next minute commandeering warships and making a bid for world domination.

Having read this thread and looked at all the conspiracy theories, including The Simpsons Nov 6th 2010 one I can offer:

2 Air rifles with pellets

Assorted mean looking Knives Dh uses for work

Petrol hedgecutters/petrol strimmer - we could wave them around in front of us in a threatning manner.

A mad cat

A postman hating dog

A pond full of fish

Two teenage Dd's who do nothing but argue - two days with them and you will wonder why you wanted to survive

I am seriously lacking in the bottled water department and will have to address this immediatly.

This is Mumsnet, Beta. We're not like NM, they will probably still be hugging and hunning rather than preparing their OFRS.

Hi everyone, glad to see we're still planning.

Itinery as I see it so is

1. After polite waiting time (ie next morning) all convene on the court (to be announced here)
2. Pack up bus, stopping at Asda for looting supplies for the journey, making use of blue badges to avoid parent child parking faux pas
3. 'Acquire' boat. Preferably luxury sub.
4. Travel to MmeLint for a mini-break in her bunker
5. Come on over to me in Moldova where we have cellars full of preserved stuff (including meat though perhaps not Horse) and plenty of land etc for growing own. Water is from a well anyway and heating with log fires. OK?

Thanksamillion- don't recommend the local subs they built the astute

There are 3 warships ,fully fitted out for hot countries so we'd have to move south. There are probably some more lying around too. And they aren't far from morrisons for looting to start the journey!

:o

What an organised, multi-tasking lot we are. We should all feel very smug proud. And I'm delighted to learn of these warships - Nymphadora, between now and the Apocalypse you need to work on some way of hiding them from anyone else who might be thinking along similar lines. Those Icke nutters, for starters. Sod the zombies, they'll be our real enemy.

If your warships get stolen by the Ickes before we can get to them, I happen to know where HMS Belfast is. It comes with a cafe, which might be useful.

You sound surprised at this development, BeenBeta.

Nymphadora Is Morrisons suitable for MNers to loot? Is there not a Waitrose nearby?
