Ready bag

Just in case bag

Just for fun on Saturday afternoon I ended up having to go to the children's hospital to get some emergency repairs done on one of the offspring.

Lucky for us, on a few occasions, there is a handy drop in center to take kids for a quick check over and fix up if needed, and fortunately if more work is required we have Alder Hey Children's Hospital
The staff and treatment at both are excellent but unfortunately you can end up with a both of a delay if your precious charges aren't bleeding out.

Yesterday I spent around two hours, maybe three, in a hospital waiting room.

Its kind of handy to have some basic supplies with you in such circumstances, also you may need to leave in a hurry so it would be handy to have them in one place, just to join the dots leave a small rucksac with the following lying near the door (or hung up neatly if you have that kind of spouse).

Baby wipes
Books adult and children.
Drinks (little cartons of fresh juice with straws, bottle water, coke,)
Food (oat bars, flap jacks,  sweets, chuck some fruit in on the way out the door)
Pen and paper
Pack of cards

For smaller children
Nappies,
Cartons of UHT milk
If you've got rugrats then you know what to add

Also  very useful to have to speed up going out for days out, trips to park whatever, just remember to refill the bag when you've used it

Anyway yesterdays end result: Kid ok, I didn't get some work on a little project done until later, but I did manage to get some of a book knocked off and play a few games of noughts and crosses
