Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9

I've been feeling a little overwhelmed of late with news and somewhat shite health (still bloody coughing and have pulled a muscle in my back as a result :evil: ), so I'm making the effort to get things done that I can, and not think too much about what I cannot control. So this evening a few of tho...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9

On the run upto winter if your piling on the miles go for all season tyres they offer more grip in bad weather... Not as good as full on winter tyres but rarely do we get biblical snow unless you live in the hills... .they cost no more usually than the equivalent standard tyres... I'll look into th...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9

Bought another set of fleecy pjs while Lidl still has my size so I now have two pairs to keep in rotation over the winter. Lidl also has thermos flasks in so I picked up one of those too. It looks like I have tyre issues so a visit to the garage is on the horizon. I considered booking it online ton...

In terms of actual preps, I've picked up two hot water bottles, a big fleecy blanket, and some cosy pyjamas in this week's Lidl offers. Plus even more batteries.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9

This coming week is about getting fitter for me. I have had a dose of COVID on top of everything else this Summer! No sense of taste or smell for that time, and beyond for the time being. That messes with the head for sure. So much so, I have not eaten properly for a week , and lost weight. I am no...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9

Picked up (yet another) head torch that came with an LED flashing armband from Tesco. Plus they have packs of 100 tea lights reduced to clear down to £2, so I picked up a couple of packs. I need to make a kit list to go in the car over winter ASAP if the weather forecasting rumblings are for a very ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9

Finally bought a winter coat. Not the one I had planned (M&S), but a cheaper one from TK Maxx. It's like a puffer jacket coat, but water resistant and not as puffy. I think I'll be warm :D I picked up some pickling onions so I'll be doing those soon. I wonder if the onion harvest was poor this y...
