I thought of a similar thing, you PAY me to store your preps at mine, saves me a FORTUNE

All gas bottles are full, plenty of canisters for bistro stoves, and camping gaz stoves (the old C206).

Local Morrison’s has just had delivery of smokeless coal, cheaper than our coal merchant.

May get another jerrycan for diesel.

Winter preps....where do you start ?, first you have to find time to finish the summer jobs you left.... you say “ i’ll do it next week”.... but you never did.
