Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 7.
I've been replacing things that may be or are going on the fritz. The shredder was making a weird grinding noise and the vac had gone and we were using a borrowed one, have got new now. Our phones are old and have not received updates for a while and mine keeps forgetting it has battery and going to...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 7.
I'm making new masks this weekend. I haven't had my sewing machine out, as work is closed, since the last lockdown. Hoping my enthusiasm builds some by then.
