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

That a good site, check out the range of Cree torches they sell.

This is another good little stove which belts out the BTU's

We have an indoor rabbit and a dwarf hamster. We found a lovely lady who's set up a business looking after small furries, as well as dogs and cats at home. Days before our trip to Barcelona last year, our rabbit became unwell and needed close care, but still wasn't expected to survive. The lady and her son were happy to do everything we required and when we came back our rabbit was on the mend and is still with us, although she has suffered permanent damage as a result. We were very happy and would use the service again. I think kennels are pretty awful for family pets. There are alternatives.

I have indoor cat who stays in cattery when we go away, heated throughout with own outside space, they post pics for you online and are total pet lovers. Couldn't leave him home alone think he would be too unhappy.

On prepping note, received my powdered fruit to add to water and have tried a couple of flavours and they are really tasty so will definitely get more to add to my stash.

Very true Paul, you clearly demonstrate a fixated personality :lol: You need to open up to fresh ideas chap, you'd feel so much better if you did. So what was your day trip like?
