even if you have, that 25 litre drum will only ever hold 25 litre's, you need more than one-don't want to rain on your parade- but 25 litres will last you and "her indoors" what....3 days maximum probably.
We have plenty more than just the new 25litre bottle mate. This is another 25 litres on top of our current storage and capabilities. Also we have MANY places we can use to get extra water.

well good for you, only the way you worded it it sounded like this was the first ever delivery of any water storage.

Come on mate, you should know me well enough to know I've got a lot of water. This bottle is just something I've been waiting for. Now that it's here, I'm pleased. That's all.

I once put an offer on 4- 25litre water containers in the auction here, heard nothing so I thought I hadn't got them, bought 2 more from somewhere else, then blow me down the next WEEK I got a phone call from the auction saying I had won them!!!

It's all about that Mojo mate! When there's a train heading straight at you, the best thing to do is move out it's way. Prepping like a beast!!!
Okay, on to my less impressive preps, I've built 2 little candle heaters, you know the plant pot and metal washer ones? EPIC FAIL!!! Wife said they didn't work at all (I was out at work). Back to the drawing board.
Should probably mention, they only take a few minutes to make.
RE: What have done towards your prep? - Lightspeed - 10 October 2013
This week we have:
Fitted second skylight/ access hatch/ observation window to the rear aspect of the house. Excellent vantage point, and far improved surveillance of the hillside behind us.
Main chimney re-pointed and re-flashed.
Built a new soak away for grey water.
Fitted a CO detector in room containing the wood fired cooking range
Purchased bee-keeping manual
Purchased sundry connectors for this autumn's Photo-electric project
Purchased two more paraffin lamps, and more paraffin ( thanks for reminder SS)
