Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9
Renewed daughter’s passport, topped up petrol, did loads of laundry so we have weeks of clean clothes and bedding. More cat food and meds. Charged batteries. More wine. Lots of first aid items. I’d recommend a first aid course to anybody, absolutely essential. I remember when a First Aider at the sc...

Re: How is everyone dealing with rising prices?
Clothes, some meat and fruit/veg from jumble sales and the big car boot sale across town. Halved my car insurance by switching to another insurance. If I’m cold I’ll run up and down the stairs.

Re: Prepping Disasters & Epic Failures?

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 8.
Thanks for reminding me! Need to put blankets, spare food , clothes and drinks in. Pump tyres up and check oil. I want to get one of those little heating elements you plug into the lighter so I can have a nice hot drink if I’m stuck. Any recommendations?

Re: Mental Health.
A few years ago I was burned out and had complex PTSD from work. I took a year out, enjoyed more time with my family, joined a choir, started pet-sitting and just chilled. I learned to stop feeling guilty that I wasn’t running around after everybody else and deserve time for MY stuff. Now I’ve got a...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 8.
Charged up the rechargeable batteries for emergency lights and torches. We’ve got a wind-up torch and lantern, too. Pumped the tyres up and checked oil. Stocked up on pantry stash. Need to stock up on First Aid supplies! Off to the shops tomorrow...
