Advice On Just Incase Bag...
Notifications OFF
Could someone please advise on what should be packed in a just in case bag? Ive read so many conflicting lists im just not sure. Also my OH is on daily medication can we pack unopened prescribed medications or is that a big No? My worry is him not getting the medications he needs in a timely manor.
Obviously praying we dont need it but want to be prepared.
Thank you x

Hi Bub,
I remember only too well how it felt watching my son prepare his 'just is case bag'. I really feel for you both during these anxious times. I'm not 100% sure about the medication as I've read mixed answers on this but we were told that the medication had to be in the original unopened packaging with a prescription label on it. The other items my son packed were;
Boxer shorts (up to 6 pairs)
Socks (up to 6 pairs)
T-shirts, including 1–2 gym tops (up to 6 in total; no slogans, offensive language or football shirts)
A warm jumper or sweatshirt (plain, no logo, and not dark colours like black or navy)
Flip-flops/sliders
Trainers (not expensive, but suitable for the gym and daily wear)
A towel, ideally a large or beach-style towel
1–2 pairs of tracksuit bottoms or leisure trousers
1 pair of gym shorts
A cheap digital watch (no smart features or Wi-Fi)
Cash — around £100
A paper list of contact telephone numbers

I truly hope its not needed but as the saying goes, 'prepare for the worst and hope for the best'.

Hi Bub,
We've had a few challenges to work through, mainly caused by social media, but on the whole life has settled into a routine and we're all doing okay. My son lost his job at the start of the summer so is applying for anything and everything. But being unemployed meant he got to spend a lot of time over the summer holidays with his childen which was a bonus.
I'll be keeping you in my thoughts as you head towards your court date. It's a horrible time but once its done you can start to move forward with life.

Hi Ocean,
I hope your son manages to find a job soon and im so pleased he has spent lots of time with his children over the summer. Thank you for the positive update to say life does eventually settle, im looking forward to that. Im petrified of the media as we have managed to keep it quiet for 3 years.
I will come back and let you know how we get on in court next month. Luckily the judge allowed my husband to move back home with us until sentencing after 3 years of him sleeping at his mums. Its been so nice being a proper family again, I just hope its not snatched away from us again.
Take care x

Is a just in case bag necessary and at what stage is this needed for?
