... 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!

Manuals pah! We have Hassled's DH who is a Whizz on FS. We can Cope Grin

Unwind · 05/11/2010 14:09

I live in Scotland, so no need (or use) for a solar still

and I don't reckon we'd last long if we were the only ones with food

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 05/11/2010 14:12

We have 3 warships and 50 Harriers. Plus the combined might of Mumsnet behind us. World Domination is ours

I can ride. Can I be one of the three horsewomen of the appocalypse.

Can we recap? Who is on the bus now? Do we need to order the extra-stretched version? And do we now have a surfeit of DDs?

CherryRocketMonster · 05/11/2010 14:44

i can ride too! dont have a horse, but can handle one perfectly well. also have 2 dd's who are very pretty (although not breeding age yet) dd1 (5) can talk the zombies/politicians to death, and dd2 can sit and look cute! oh, and dd1 isnt afraid of spiders either so she can be in charge of getting rid of them. actually, she isnt afraid of anything so will be useful.

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 05/11/2010 14:44

I'm on the bus. I am bringing DP because he is Useful and 2xDDs. Plus Big Dog, Little Dog and Horse. Do you have a looting stick kungfu or would you like my spare polo stick if Hassled doesn't need it?

BigWelt · 05/11/2010 14:44

As it looks almost inevitable now it is important you should all know and

Thingumy · 05/11/2010 14:45

I can ride.

I will bring dh if it helps,he's a ex tornado jet engineer,I reckon he could keep them harriers ticking over

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 05/11/2010 14:46

I was thinking this morning. It's not likely to be the dollar crash as the tipping point if it's going to happen tomorrow. The stock markets are closed on a Saturday.

TandB · 05/11/2010 14:47

I am on the bus with DS (15 months) and no OH as he is Taking-My-Chance-With-The-Zombies-Thanks.

I don't think I have a looting stick - would a pitchfork do?

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 05/11/2010 14:49

I'd have thought a pitchfork would be an excellent choice. Nice sharp, pointy thing very handy for spearing zombies.

CherryRocketMonster · 05/11/2010 14:54

ok, so who has a spare horse for me? then we will have our four horsewomen of the apocolypse. i also have a full first aid kit, 2 baseball bats, a garden fork and a pair of shears.

TandB · 05/11/2010 14:54

Pitchfork it is then. I also have a spade and a long-handled trowel if anyone else is short of looting implements.

TandB · 05/11/2010 14:55

Oh, I don't actually HAVE a horse, I can just ride one. There is a stables not too far from me - I could snaffle a couple on the way to the rendez-vous.

CherryRocketMonster · 05/11/2010 14:57

excellent kung-fu, bring one for me would you please? something big and dark i think! and a pony for the girls too, they wouldnt want to miss out

TitsalinaBumSquash · 05/11/2010 14:58

I will drive the Bus if y'all want i have a clean licence and no problem with plowing down Zombies. :)

TandB · 05/11/2010 14:58

Not sure how scary the "Four Horsewomen and two small pony-riders of the Appocalypse" would actually be, but OK.

Four Horsewomen and Four Small Pony Riders of The Apocalypse now I think. DDs will be tres cross to be left out of any fun.

samay could it be zombies breaking out of their graves too early? Maybe they forgot to put their zombieclocks back last week Shock

I'm in Lincolnshire samay, there was a lot of minor damage round here in the last earthquake but I've not felt anything today. Must be zombies.

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 05/11/2010 15:23

Oh there was one in the Norwegian sea yesterday link

MaDuggar · 05/11/2010 15:30

oooer samay!

SarahStrattonsSparkler · 05/11/2010 15:31

Ah samay would this explain it?

CherryRocketMonster · 05/11/2010 15:36

kungfu- dd1 is actually very very scary! imagine if you will, the vocabulary, verbal reasoning skills and arguing strategy of a very intelligent adult, with the temperament of a small red headed girl, all packed into the body of a 5 year old, who is the average size of an 8 year old (she is very tall, but willowy)
