Many thanks.

Will add mine later from the computer as easier to copy and paste. I love a good list. I shall be nicking your ideas and adding them.

Following for lists, started stock checking the pantry today- seems we've run down quite a lot of stocks

Yes, anyone sharing their list is very welcome!

Feel free to sift through for ideas and omissions!

Following this as I want to start

Sorry, sat down at the computer to add my list....not to find a bubble had popped and I needed to collect a DC.

Only to find,

Ffs 🥺

Tin openers!

Absolutely this. I was going to replace it before lockdown and my DP told me I was "going too far" with my prepping. Then the shit one he'd bought us six months ago finally had a blow out and we were left without. That was him being sent out to pretty sharpish!

Omg i didn’t realis Sweden took full on war and invasion so seriously. The note to say Sweden will never give up if being attacked by another country and if you hear otherwise then its fake news.
And it says anyone up to age 70 can be called to help with the military operation ! Wow uk government would never release an info leaflet like this. It is v scary , but also v useful for someone like me who likes to prep.

Really appreciate your extensive lists thank you Blackeyed, agree with you that it is wise to have emergency meals too.

ha, I am putting liking of lists on my autism assessment list. I really like a good list. it was put together from the things that people on Brexit threads were recommending.

Incidently, I found the spare tin opener under the bed. a proper one at that. (not one of the cheap £1 ones)

rely on the emergency meals when I am feeling shit.

OMG I love a good list too, I thought everyone did.
Do you mean you use batch meals in emergency? Blackeyed

Yes, or pasta stir in sauce and frozen veg or tin of curry and sachets of rice, or DD has a sachet of cous cous.

These are the best type of tin openers. Not much can go wrong with them and they last ages. Also quick to use

You know how to use that thing? Do you have actual magical powers? I can't operate the little key thing on a corned beef can, I'd have no chance with that.
