Useful, but you're only allowed to have two filled with petrol :cry:

However, they'll make fantastic water storage/carriers (just mark them up clearly )

They are Ultra Alkaline batteries with the 'Toys 'R' Us' logo on them... used them now intensively for a week on cameras, torches, Infra Red devices and they are performing relatively ok compared to lets say Energiser for eg

Popped into Millets today.

Picked up this little folding stove. £2. Comes with 24 fuel tabs. It's no Esbit, but for £2 with the fuel I couldn't pass it up. Will do in case of emergencies. I tried it out in the garden when I got home, chucked 3 tabs on there and made a litre of coffee! Nae bother.

Also grabbed the cutlery set for £2. Not fantastic quality, but for £2 it'll see me reet. Free up a few quid to pick up more important stuff, then I can get a better set when money is a little less tight.

For some reason all the winter car gear was reduced as well.

lol that's expensive ! there is a freezer shop called farmfoods a couple of estates away from my house that allways has 3 kg of frozen chicken breasts for £10 and other multibuys for a tenner too.
p.s you can cook em from frozen too if you forget to defrost them.

cheers Andrew.
