Owww! Get well soon, daz.

Disposable gloves you get good ones from tattoo suppliers online.
I agree the berries only reflect the weather past, not to come.
I love the idea of sitting with my feet on the old stone pig hot water bottles, I have one and will do that!

Apart from that, I've checked out Wilk0s where you can buy 40 gloves (note, these disposables are numbered individually, so you'd have to halve that to get numbers of pairs of gloves) has 40-packs at £4.50 and £3.50 (latex free ones being cheaper).

S@vers, if you have that chain where you live, have pkts of 10 gloves for £1. Poondlandia have pkts of 20 gloves for £1.

Those gloves are all a bit pricey GQ.

The latex gloves I get off the market stall, are £3-99 per box of 100.

They're manufactured to EN455 (Parts 1,2&3) and "In accordance with medical devices directive 93/42/EEC".

Panic buying rubber gloves to prevent Ebola is probably the most stupidest thing I have ever read on here...:mad:

They're better than nothing Rosemary.

Also, as GQ mentions in post 26411, they're useful for a lot more things.

In the event of a water shortage, they can be used when dealing with human waste.

They can be used when skinning and preparing game.

I personally use them when working on my car, emptying the cat's litter tray, cleaning the toilet etc.

I also keep half a dozen pairs in each of my 1st Aid kits, and in my BOB.

Get well soon. Plus moving preps about is like weight lifting just make sure that you keep the weight balanced and bend at the knees not by your back.

I don't panic-buy anything, dearest one. I buy what I use anyway, which also happens to have a limited use - for hygiene - which will be applicable if the water was off.

I also glove-up when I mend stuff with superglue, after having PMSL when a pal stuck his fingers together with the stuff a few years ago and ended up in A & E. And when I treat my allotment shed with wood preservative, and when I paint with gloss, as the gloves are cheaper and more convenient than using white spirit to get paint off my paws.

Nothing bar a positive pressure suit and respirator with a segregated air supply will keep Ebola out, but plenty of people get sick and even die of bog-standard (pun intended) diarrohea each year. Millions of them, in fact. And if sanitation here is compromised by non-flushable loos, which it will be if either the water supply or the leccy is off for some time, you will be very glad to have disposable gloves when you have to manage your bodily wastes.

But please don't let us distract you from reading less-silly stuff elsewhere. The world is full of far more interesting things to do than trying to get a rise out of a bunch of strangers.............:rotfl:

GQ -brilliant! I would never have thought to wear gloves for glossing, the simplest ideas are the best. I always have a box in for mucky jobs (no pun intended!).
Daz - get well soon
Mrs. LW - I have wind up lanterns from C**pers of St*rtf*rd, would they be a little bit safer than candles when Docky is upset? They are bogof at the moment, we bought them for camping and they are very sturdy.
Still not sure on etiquette for the thanks button so just go back over the current page. Apologies if anyone thinks I am rude. x
