Cheeky things. I haven't done a runner... shock horrors I've been off doing some research on me long dead rellies,

This is all getting a bit S&M for me.

I don't need a freezer I always have a cold bum.

pulls blue eyes out of the deep freeze

you may need to warm her up, bles her shes freezing, not just her bum thats cold now

Merlin you norti magician lol xxxx

me too blue eyes, dont let that merlin in

thinks hes on a promise, OMG help there are two of us lol xxx

LOL, believe me I am way more than he can handle..xx

having just looked at the site it could either frighten you to death or make you think what a very good idea. I suppose if we lived in the States where they have hurricanes etc we wouldn't think anything of it. However, think how an emergency pack stored upstairs could have helped the victims of the floods a year or so ago. I would think a basic emergency pack would be a good idea if you were in an area prone to flooding.

"Flooding" Ann

Thinks that is his every intention

flippin cheek, after all we done as well

Blue eyes, i am not being handled by anyone,

no bl@@dy way lol xxx

Anne I wouldn't let it frighten you, I think it is a good idea, if you had a bag with important contact numbers. any medication, glasses, waterproofs anything you couldn't be without plus a book and some snacky things. The site mentioned at the begining has more ideas. You could scoop it up and continue out of the door..

It isn't only flooding or hurricanes that may cause you to have to leave your home, think , Buncefield, what if a tanker containing chemicals overturned in your area. The car bag could have been useful in London when the bombs went off etc etc

This is not meant to be scary we had a water leak in our road recently and had to put some water in jugs etc, what if we had had no warning. At least with a couple of litres of bottled water we could have had a cup of tea...

I will have to have a look and see if gloucester have a site.

Yes gloucester have one......
