Things you have but hope not to use (too often)

As the title says, "Things you have but hope not to use (too often)"

I am glad I brought a set of drain rods complete with plunger. I just used the plunger to unblock the toilet (lots of paper went down, just don't ask) Only took a few plunges, all working, don't know what I would do with out them.

So what have you got?

 

Petrol generator,2 petrol chainsaws,10 gallon drum of anti-freeze ,pitchfork,

 

Set of jumpleads, generator, high viz jacket, lumphammer, bilhook & an emergency survival pack with a magnesium block.

30 years of knowlege on edible wild foods and a Swiss bank account.

 

I can't think of anything right now, so I'll go contemplate and return later.

 

What about that short tailed cat? Don't want to be using that any time soon.

 

Submersible pump..........

 

Yep, got that too

 

I have a big sledge hammer and a short handle one 6" ? I used for knocking the goats pegs into the ground ,also a bill hook,

 

It wouldn't make it past the threshold Zigs........now moving swiftly on!

An overlocking machine, when it goes wrong, it goes wrong big style!

 

drain rods
Jump leads
fire blankets
high viz jackets
fire extinguisher
packet soups
too much medical knowledge
one heck of a first aid kit
far too many hammers for one Lady to own
one husband

and thats all i can think of off the top of my head

 

Two tins of kidney beans

 

Emergency fire escape ladder (which, the writing on the box, helpfully tells me is ... 'Fire/flame resistent'. A not unexpected feature!)
Envelope containing a 'reasonable amount' of cash, together with a list of bank account and card Nos., and the telephone numbers of banks, insurance company etc. (just in case I need to use the above and my handbag doesn't make it out!)
Small suitcase packed with a few 'essentials' (a throw-back from when my parents were alive and needed to be whisked into hospital at all hours of the day and night, leaving someone to try and round up nightclothes, toiletries etc.)
A snow shovel
Heavy-duty Scissor jack
Tube of 'Plastic Padding'
Innumerable wind-up torches
Oh, and Hair dye!!
