[jansman]

This week I am banking some overtime(killin' meself doing the work of three)ready for layoff.I'll stick it out as I am owed 3/4 of a yrs pay in redundancy.More tinned food/rice/pasta and coal for the Winter.That will give me enough fuel until Christmas 2012.

My solar shower arrived today so I can have a nice warm wash if the power goes off ( mind you think I will need to boil a kettle as the sun does not come out much up here in Scotland lol )

I've been snowed in for a week once. And cut off from shops for 5. Its fine, just sit at the fire and eat cos there's bugger all else to do !

we were cut off for 3 weeks last winter, nearly ran out of milk-was down to the last 2 litres, have increased stocks to compensate, apart from that got a new calor gas stove and 2 cylinders in case leccy goes off, got enough food for 3 months.

I'm moving house in 1 month time to a slightly bigger one with a garden, so more space for preps and will actually start on some veg - woohoo!
The archery course kicks off this Saturday for 5 weeks.

Got an A-Z concertina file and started to fill it with hard copy prep info. It's briefcase size with a handle ready to grab. Also started to print off some flowcharts to add to it. Eg. The Electricity Goes Off. Covering how to tell if anything from a faulty appliance fuse to an EMP is to blame and the actions to take in each event.

good idea Ogre, i use a hardbacked file with those polythene pockets in it.

Thanks. I'm laminating the sheets for durability.

Laminating is a great idea!
