Hi GGTOEB
There was a previous thread about this - The survival box . I keep meaning to sort one out but do have loads of candles and lighters . The last time our leccy cut out me and my brother were in the middle of making pizzas from scratch. So we continued by candle light and then my neighbour was kind enough to bake them in her oven! :rotfl:
I'll merge this later once you get more suggestions
thanks

spare batteries (for the flashlight or torch), couple of bottles of water (my OH works for a water company and he NEVER has any bottles of water in his van when WE need them!!!
and a couple of bottles of wine and a bored game (no, I didnt mis-spell it, thats how my grandson spells it and I think he is bang-on there, lol).0 -

well In supposed it depends what the what if is...what if I get whisked away to a tropical paradise for a fortnight - torch, blankets and a can of camping gaz won't be much use to me then....
And my feeling is the above is about as likely to happen as many other what ifs so tbh I don't bother. I do own these things, I know where they are , I use them for my camping holidays....People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

My friend used to have a "what if " bag.
She took it with her when she went for a night out.
It contained a lipgloss, folded up £20 note, condom, spare pair of knix and her front doorkey.;)
