Maybe a reverse one, cause when you open the door it's smaller on the inside. :mrgreen:
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine

Wouldn't work sorry. I don't drink anymore so the non alcoholic contents would throw the readings off :tinfoil :lol:

Arriving today some more main meal MREs only.
Don't need what comes in a full ration pack and I know what meal I am getting.

A couple of new ones for me so if I like them bulk order will follow.

That’s what the wife & I had to do when we moved in a 1 bed bungalow when her mobility became an issue; didn’t help that within 3 weeks of getting the keys we were put into lockdown :D

It’s interesting trying to find ways to store things in a small place…especially when it’s poorly designed 70’s council house :lol:

Enjoy your new abode & enjoy coming up with interesting ways to store your preps.

Under the kitchen cabinet plinths, on top of the cabinets, a box on top of the fridge freezer, in an ottoman bed, behind the bath cover panel, in an ottoman footstool.

We thought about all those places GillyB when we moved into the wee 1 bed bungalow - but under plinths is a def no-no when you have poor mobility, likewise anything highup on top of a f/freezer. Ask me how I know this :mrgreen:

Ordered replacement rubber seals for all our PVC doors and windows. The old stuff has lost elasticity and lets lots of draughts in. We tried the sticky stuff on a roll, but it was rubbish.
Primarily an energy saving effort, but this should also help seal against nuclear fallout, should that be needed.
A straightforward DIY job, once we'd identified the right moulding.
