You only use one match to light one candle, then carry it around and light all the rest
We can do other meets, we could have a pre-xmas one too, good for Ikea tealights/candles - and do Costco then as well.
GQ I just got a load of porridge, bread flour, tins of corned beef, stock cubes, loads of cheap noodles for adding to things..and powdered milk.

I could make a Swindon meet up - not too far away and would be nice to say hi to everyone.

Got in 30kg of flour delivered today, same price as last time we ordered.

It does for bread and pastry

Our DD has gone to the Greenbelt festival for a week-ish,(back on Tues).

We should be going shopping this weekend, so I'll keep an ear out for you bargain buys

Hi all,

I am a long term lurker, just wanted to pop in to let you all know that instore in Wilkinson's they have 50% off all their camping equipment. So I bought:

2 x whistles - they are on lanyards and include a compass, matchbox, flint starter and signal mirror.
1 x compass
1 x cookset - incl frying pan, pot with lid, dish and cup.
1 x cooker ( small metal stand to use with solid fuel tablets).
2 x pack of solid fuel tablets
1 x sewing kit
1 x map case
1 x pack of 3 water tight pouches

All for £13.00.

In poundland they have some headlamps which seem okay. They take AAA batteries so will also stock up on those.

I wanted a wind up head torch but had to get one like you suggest but it coist me approx £3 in Wilkinsons.

I'd already bought a kettle and it cost me £13 but it's good and solid and will work on a stove or camping stove(I already have a sewing kit)did not think I needed a compass...I have whistle that is loud if I can find it!

I also bought a keyring that has a wind up LED torch built and it seems quite bright...

Need to get those water purifying tablets sometime soon...

I have a minichopper that does not need power to chop up small amounts of herbs and onions etc...

I got 4 cases of 15 bags of sugar a couple of days ago from the Asian supermarket. They work out at 76p a bag so pretty good against most of the supermarkets around here.

Wish we had some of those Asian Supermarkets/shops nearby but sadly there isn't any...
