		We'll have to hope that the Chinese takeaway has plenty of veggies - or maybe we can invent something with Peaches. 
Anyone tried Peach chips?

What exactly is a lifetime's supply? A bottle of perfume every week and I could set up my own online shop, a pint of milk a week and I'd be desperate in three days

You know those sci-fi disaster movies where a group of people are suddenly isolated from civilisation (as they know it) and have to survive on whatever they have to hand. 
Here's the twist in the tale - we are that group and we have to survive on the last items we bought!! 
 
Seeds 
Chinese Takeaway 
Almond Magnums 
Concrete 
Coffee 
Corn plasters 
Coach screws 
Tray of peaches 
Sour cream and chive crisps 
TV Magazine 
Box of Red wine 
Opium perfume 
Dry vermouth 
 
Could you get by with those items for a lifetime?   
 
PS Nobody said I was sane!! 
A lot depends on the selection of seeds, also how quick we could get our clothes off, and before you start building your hopes up, it's to use the clothes as a filter to remove the water from the left over concrete after making 2 small holding ponds, one for the filtered water  another for holding the water that we would have stored inside ourselves   13 folk so someone is sure to be able to make some dishes out of the TV mag, so that the magnums and the  takeaway could be shared out, of course Veggie being the oldest we would all be looking to her for guidance, so what would you suggest

		I thought the TV magazines would be useful for starting fires and in the dunny.

		No one has specified where we are isolated. I elect an island. We can use the TV mags to boil sea water to distill it for potable water, coffee and growing seeds. I don't fancy a diet of crisps and magnums though

Anyone tried Peach chips?   I’m hoping peach chips taste better than the kale crisps I made the other day.
