Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13

IF I HAD IT WOULD BE FINISHED NOW ANYWAY :lol: :lol: Andy he chucked it all in a basket and put the basket in...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13

Lot of health probs here holding me back from prepping, but got Sainsbugs this morning with a big-for-us order of £130. Sadly then I found I have nowhere at all to put the bloody stuff.

Was ME in my 50s that did for me too arzosah. Stops you dead in the water. I'm 76 and won't ever get any better now. After reading the Guardian article I added another £25 onto the Sainsbugs order for the weekend. Might get some coffee on amazz too while am at it.

We're the same Peter, if we were younger then we'd have stayed in the house out in the wilds and gone over to solar in a big way. But not now. Getting old is the pits :evil:

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13

The Day of the Triffids. My favourite book ever. Read it at school when I was about 14. I've read it several times since and still get scared with those plants. My family are used to me saying I don't like certain plants because they look like triffids. They think I'm strange anyway. I read it when...

Looks like a dodgy winter ahead, with one thing and another. I wish I still had a coal fire and a garden. :evil:
