Blimey, is this topic "Zombie apocalypse conspiracy theory nuclear bomb sharknado paranoia" in disguise?

I go away for a few weeks, and all "one flew over the cuckoos nest" breaks lose!

For me, there would also be an issue of chemical stability, though. Given that they're self-heating, there will be heating chemicals included in the pack so you're not just looking at nutritional value but also for how long the heating 'bit' would work safely.

Ah well if they run out of date I have just used a saucepan.

I have just read about the camping gas stove with a face.

Because and please don't shout! when I was pg with DD we had bought a doer-upper. It had no running water, no oven or hob. We also had no sofa or bed, we basically camped in the house.

8 months we lived like that, my little camping gas stove was our only method of cooking.

I now realise that it was probably due to the houses inherent structural problems draughtiness that we are still here!

(I made him sell the house when DD was 5 weeks old as I simply couldn't cope anymore!)
