vanoonoo can I join please? My Para cord bracelet arrived today. We have lots of bows and arrows and we know how to use them! We live in Nottingham and have a son called Robin ( what else!). I'm also very good at finding things on-line.

Hmm.....bit concerned about this sheep spinning, it's quite cruel, you know? They get very dizzy, are easily confuzzled and if overspun could well flock off and bolt, trampling all in their path. They may indeed have already done this and ended up in the Kingsmill bakery, wreaking sheepish havoc and destroying crucial food supplies ("Ewe will be sorry ...")

D&DD

We have the odd blip here sometimes with kingsmill not arriving it's usually toastie which is the one the boys like that's affected.
It's usually only for a day there's obviously a glitch in their company somewhere as it is quite regular.

I had a really bad day yesterday, the pressure of our situation here hit home, as it was bound to do, mainly because I was on my own all day and night. But coming on here and joining in with you all and forgetting my problems for a while was so good. I laughed out loud in an empty house scaring the cats. Thank you all, the people I consider to be great friends - end of mushy bit.

Am patiently waiting for the library to open after lunch as I want to go and have a good browse in the Rw. I realise that at MR T last night there were some gaps in the bread section.

I am sitting in front of a machine where you can google all kinds of scary things but I dont. So if our little thread bothers you don't click on it. Its like when you have a symptom and you google that you will scare the heck out of yourself. There will always be areas of a site as big as this that you dont like but others do so lets just agree to disagree.

I may only drink water not tea or coffee (allergy to lactose), but my magnesium fire lighting bar arrived yesterday. :jNow I can make fire anywhere. Goes with my scouting skills / bear grylls books / escape plan. Paracord on its way. Come on you Zombies I'm ready for you.

A box of matches may have been cheaper. Chances are your magnesium fire starter will never be needed and your vast supplies of dried pasta and tinned tomatoes will be out of date before you get round to using them. That is a shocking waste considering how much food is already wasted by people in this country.

Report me if you like but I think this thread has turned rather childish and is so far from OS that it's not funny.

Re Zombie Sheep...the movie is already out. :eek:


(Don't all rush out at once, it's dreadful. Trust me on this.)

I quite like Chief Kale Knitter btw. I may have to get a badge for meet ups and so you'll all recognise me when you're all flooding up north to stay with Mardatha and me behind Hadrians Wall. It's a fact, zombies are scared of us Scots. It's the blue paint and hand knitted sporrans that do it you see.

Mardatha, you could be Hygiene Coordinater and make all the soap?

Why, if you rotate any foods you have in storecupboard so that they are in date order and the oldest gets used up first, would things not be used?

As long as you buy what you use and use what you buy then it is not a problem.
