It's a Bug-out-Bra

You could buy one of those 'chicken fillet' bras. The pouch will already be in designed into each cup, ready to fill with your valuables.

No room left in my over the shoulder boulder holders :rotfl:

ButterflyBrain, I have the same problem. I need some kind of minimising upholstery that makes it look like I don't have my life savings, a space blanket and some kendal mint cake elegantly stashed down there. :eek:

I have been wondering about this recently however. I do need something where I can carry a few essentials as close to my person as possible wherever I go.

Idea - wear your savings on the outside of your clothes... my chosen form of exercise is Egyptian dance; I probably look quite ridiculous but it's huge fun, low-impact & very toning. Coin belts & headdresses originated as just that; we tend to use flimsy little purely-decorative tin things now, but heavier coins produce a much nicer noise & accent your moves better. I wonder if it's possible to get a belt made from pure gold or silver coins...?

Having lost a lot of weight lately, I could keep an old fashioned dial phone in my bra and still have room for my bus fare.

Thrift, I love that sort of dance too.

Today's challenge

You have house guests coming to visit today and you just found out that they are living a strict vegan diet due to health issues. You must feed them and your family today without using meat or any other foods that come from animals. You don’t have time to go to the store before they arrive.
Goal: Eat all your meals without using meat or other animal products

Today’s Tasks:

• Make breakfast without using meat, eggs, or milk, or other animal derived products
• Make lunch without using meat, eggs, or milk, or other animal derived products
• Make dinner without using meat, eggs, or milk, or other animal derived products
• Use 3 different grains or legumes in your cooking today
• Find and print out (or bookmark) 5 recipes that use grains or legumes that you can use in the future to continue rotating and using your long term food storage

Today’s Limitations:

• For this day, and ALL days of the challenge: no spending money, no going to stores, and no restaurants
• You cannot use any beef, chicken, pork, tuna, etc. today
• You cannot use eggs or items made with eggs
• You cannot use milk or items made with milk (i.e. ANY dairy)

Advanced Tasks:

• Make a fancy dinner (break out the china) including a vegan dessert
• Use an extra 2 grains or legumes in your cooking today
• Try to avoid using products made from animal parts today (fur, leather, wool, and silk)

I don't know any vegans but I will have a go

So toast and jam, peanut butter or marmite for breakfast

HM mushroom soup and bread for lunch

Rice with lots of veg and tomato sauce for dinner

Dammit, this is a trick I've been missing as a bumps-on-the-ironing-board kind of girlie. Wonder how much room the chicken-fillet bra offers up? Can anyone signpost me to a shop where I can go and peruse such an item?

Wonder how much extra boobage I could get away with before I look totally fake...........?

Yes - I am pondering that; what looks natural enough so it's 'hiding in plain sight', as opposed to drawing to much unwanted attention!:D

Somewhere smaller than Jordan, but, not poached eggs territory....

Aren't all bras filled with their owner's "valuables" :huh:

Ha - that's what you think! You just never know what's lurking in there. It could cause huge disappointment, or excitement.... Like finding a chocolate bar under a cushion fr'instance....

When I go out on the town I manage to put my phone, card and ID down my bra and have a little bag (like a jewellery gift bag) tied to a strap that tucks in with my emergency cash for the night in.
