...would you have to take to a desert island with you.

Imagine Tesla's system worked and electricity was no problem and that there is plenty of food and water.

You can't take a lappy, phone or any other way of contacting people or more importantly Amazon.

My painkillers

Oopsadaisy3 Mon 16-Mar-20 06:48:43

Books

Paper

Pencils

I’m assuming that my medication won’t count, as I take more than 3 things each day!

My immediate thought was paper, pencil and paints but then I saw*Fatgran*’s list and realised I should be sensible, so:

A big sharp knife - but not a Swiss army one as I can never get the damn things open,

Matches

Medicine box with first aid stuff, painkillers and happy pills.

There is electricity so matches aren’t really needed?

Ooh can opener

Yes a knife to carve a cup , spoon

Sorry I need a trolley or I can’t stay on the island , I’ll sail on thanks.....

I’ll have to write/draw in the blank pages of the books. Keeping it very small. smile
