I've not opened my xmas selection box yet!

Does that count?

Very good, but use by dates aren't generally good on these!

does this mean I have to dig up the garden and plant 'tatties'?

Is that what charlie dimmock was doing?

As a result of this thread I have-
-put on my best underwear for the cockroaches
-located my SAS survival handbook and enough waterproof material to make a small shelter in the woods
-decided I really should go to the cash n carry and buy several thousand litres of water/matches/tinned food/vitamins/alcohol/several pallets of non-Belgian chocolate
-go to the bank to collect my meagre savings- NYE not being ideal because all the banks seem to be closing early

I've probably left it too late now and will be eaten by a more organised survivor on the third day of armageddon! No point in rushing out now then - will sit here with my big box of Roses stocking up my fat levels

Send 'em this way - my parents' house is home to too many mice, and there are lots of rats in the barns, as well.

teabag,pye,sugar & splat the cat say:beer: cheers!

Will book tickets in new year(so long as they can get past all those cockroaches in ford mondeos)

At the moment VERY full as because of my appalling planning for the end of the world (only 1 15kg bag of cat food in cupboard) they had to go diy last night.

I now have lots of feathers to stuff the empty beanbags with;)

Has anyone mentioned the kendal mint cake yet? (and does anyone actually eat that stuff?)
And for the real money savers amongst you Woollies are selling off huge boxes of their pick'n'mix.

Well after being at my mum's this last few days - I was forced to read the DM (bleeach) but did come across this article so have decided that if the worst does come then we only need to go out into the country side and get us some Bambi!!!:D

Seriously though - it is so cheap at the butchers I got enough for a casserole for £2.10!! And that's allowing for left overs!

Bambi burgers are nice as well, they are made with a very small amount of pork for fat content, I got my last lot from the bloke who shot Bambi. Nice.

Do they? [have 3, 6 or 12 months savings]

I think you will find it depends on the family situation.

For those who choose to have one main wage earner and the other stay at home to bring up the children, I would think a very low percentage of those would have any kind of decent savings at all! In todays day and age it must be very rare for families on one income to be able to cover everything and be able to save.

Ditto single parent families for same reason.
