The usage advice says "Do not drop the bottle" so that is me ruled out for this purchase.

I've always thought the life advice on match boxes to be sensible - keep dry and away from children :lol:

Nice one. I'm currently wild camping in Glen garry. Had to retire to the tent due to the midges.

Wood burning/multi fuel burner is finally being installed this week. Chaos as we're having to have a flue built up through the middle of the house - we're a town house (post terrace :lol: ) so an extra story to build up through. I am now feeling a bit more prepped for the winter as we won't be totally reliant on gas now for heating. An expensive prep but I hated not having a proper alternative source of heat in the home.

Other preps have been boring stuff like rotating the stash under the bed that had to be moved for said flue installation. Not replaced that food stuff yet, just put it into general supply. When the rooms are all re painted and the new plaster board sorted, then I can rearrange furniture and then finally re stock but that will have a to wait a week or so. I store some stuff under the spare bed but due to the new flue, the room will have to be rearranged. Good sorting out opportunity :D Oh yes and the other prep is to wade through this prepping board as I've not been paying it much attention over the last month or so!
