This might sound a bit OTT, but I have a couple of home made sheewees - a 2 litre laundry liquid container with a funnel I can hold. I was thinking about situations where I might be driving with my sister and get stuck on a motorway - that's happened to me before now - and as a woman, you can't get...

What do you carry in your vehicle? We have a pickup truck and have the basic spare wheel and jack etc. The back seat has a couple of wool blankets over the top. Storage under the back seats has large umbrella, my walking staff and the emergency car battery starter. Side pockets in the truck hold tis...

Fitted a new door lock to the front door. The door is timber and the old lock was insufficient but we had already fitted dead locks. We did consider replacing the door for a composite one but refuse to pay £2k when we are looking to move (arched frame so the price goes up). Our much reduced growing ...

I have written before about EDF hounding me about getting a smart meter which I refused and asked them to stop harassing me. It also appears that we cannot have the best tarif unless we have smart meter. We have noticed of late that we can hear it "ticking". A reliable sparky friend sugges...

It's this one ALLPOWERS Portable Generator 288Wh Power Station Emergency Power Supply with DC/AC. It has been really good on holiday, but I would like to buy another similar one which is bigger, but have no idea how to work out what they will run and need someone to explain it to me in simple terms...

I could just have lit the wood stove and boiled the stove kettle...

I am still seeing people wearing masks in the town where I work, mostly older people but some younger ones too. A client with an appointment came to work the other day (not a medical facility) and I asked if she was unwell, she wasnt and it was just her preference which is fine. I was actually more ...

We had a couple of powercuts on Wednesday. When I went to report first of all it said it was planned but we had no warning and then it was unplanned. The major works going on in the vicinity with traffic lights on the main road and a dozen vehicles for the last two weeks told it's own story. I had a...

In the event of nuclear war I would likely just resign myself to fate. I have no interest in attempting to survive the initial blast, the nuclear winter, the radiation sickness , the blindness and cancers which would follow or watching my loved ones have a painful and terrible end. I doubt that we w...

Take care Jansman, organising my Mum's funeral was the worst thing I had to do. Luckily we had many a conversation and knew exactly what her wishes were. Family only at the funeral at the crem and no alcohol afterwards. She had chosen a particular song she wanted, my Dad chose one and my sister too....
