2012 - Year of the survival plan.

Firstly I wish you all a Happy New Year and all the best for 2012, it looks like it will be a bumpy ride.
I'm not going to make any predictions for the coming year, you all know my success rate in that department, just offer a piece of advice.
Ensure you have stockpiled enough supplies to keep you and family going for about a fortnight. As if things do go breasts up it may take those "left in charge" about that long to get a rescue operation in place.
Also don't rely on the utilities being there during that period. So stock up on water, portable lighting; root that old camping stove out from under the stairs and get it working again. Keep the car filled up with a couple spare cans of fuel stashed away.
Have a survival plan and ensure the whole family knows what to do.
Your key to putting it into operation is when our political elite start telling us there is nothing to worry about.
Well maybe there will be some fun in 2012 for us to look forward to. We may even see the Buffty frae Kirkcaldy in a US court trying to explain his part in the HBOS scandal. I don't think an American judge will be impressed with his "... it all started in America ..." excuse!
Anyway enjoy the first day of the New Year.

Stef Zucconi (famous for 15 megapixels) has a wish list of things to collect for the impending doom-a-thon.
Worth checking out.
