Remember to rotate your rat poison as the swines get "immune" change vtye active ingredient type every so often
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

I got a 500kg delivery of grade A coal yesterday that will see me through the winter easily. Just need to get some more logs in as well.

Yes I believe they do develop immunity Arzosah - then it just makes them grow BIGGER :shock: :twisted:
I've been hammering in the tins & packets from Sainsbugs online; half dozen boxes of candles; dozen bottles of water - and got my 3 coal bunkers all full, plus 2x 47kg cylinders of Propane for the cooker. All set for winter :mrgreen:

In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Thanks for the info on rat poison - I just *hate* having rats above my head, living in the attic :( though at least I know they're not in the house.

I was able to leave the existing stock of bicarb untouched - had a couple of kilos of dishwasher salt, but I use tabs that have it built in, so to speak, so I'm using that up, as I'm sure it has fewer alternate uses than bicarb does :mrgreen: The sink that previously drained **very badly** now drains beautifully.

Well, I have been away for a couple of weeks.

My mum passed away the other week at home without any reason (aged 60). My sister and I are now pretty much alone to deal with everything.

Even with prepping I never expected this and it hit hard. Staying strong as my mum would have wanted!
