Re: Prepping when ill or infirm

It happens to us all - yes that's it in a nutshell. And we just have to get on with it, because the fairies aren't going to come in the night and wave a wee pink wand and fix everything. GeeGee I think the shed should be renamed for the duration - the "garden room" or "the annex"...

Re: Prepping when ill or infirm

I'll mention now that a denture tablet tube holds about £20 in 20p's, slips into a bag easily and doesn't look like a load of money if somebody 'tosses' your bag. 20p's are the one of densest small change (from a value to bulk perspective), are accepted by most vending machines and if its a "N...

Re: Prepping when ill or infirm

I was only once admitted in an emergency and was only in for 48 hours - but I found it very aggravating to be without stuff that I wanted. I had a phone but no charger. I had a £20 note but no change. I had no pen or paper and my shoes were in the house, I was in bare feet :evil: All those stupid we...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10

You got all of us with you pet, we all feel for you. And the thing to hang onto it - you're both ok. The cat is ok. (seriously, the cats family too so your wee family is all safe). You can make tea and sit on something to drink it. You had Andy's torches etc that helped.. It sounds like survival in ...

Re: Prepping when ill or infirm

Not on this scale but I've learned to do something similar. I've got Addisons Disease and recently it's got unstable so I've gone into near crisis a few times. It's very fast and very awful so now I've got steroids stashed all over the place :mrgreen: In every coat pocket, in every bag, in the car, ...

Re: Prepping when ill or infirm

We did that 3 years ago now GG , for the same reasons. Worn out with carrying coal in and clearing ashes out, and coping with 47k Propane cylinders for cooking and the severe winters up in the hills. I have to say it felt amazing being here, like being on holiday. Gentler weather, tiny cosy warm hou...
