Re: Preparing for Winter 2023/24

Undersealling's a bloody advisory on your MOT now! Apparently because it can potentially hide rust or other defects so they can't check properly. At least that's wot my mot tester told me last time round.

Re: How long can you sustain your family on your stored food? And tips how to rotate

As an aside but related to topic - I was rearranging my long term foods and came across some plain flour and real coffee (not instant) that expiry date was 2020. Had been stored in original packaging in plastic crates with lids in the shed at old house then indoors in new house. Neither appeared to ...

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

Had been planning to cut and process more firewood but pulled a muscle in my back at wrestling training yesterday so lighter jobs around the house today I think. Maybe build a couple more raised beds or may just retire to the shed and Potter about, bliss 😊

Re: N.H.S. views and experiences

After 6 weeks, I'm still waiting for an "urgent" cardiology appointment........... I'm not one for telling people what to do but as an "insider" I do know that the squeaky wheel gets the oil, I'd suggest phoning them up on a weekly basis and upping the frequency if no joy in bei...

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

I always keep water 5 litres of water in the car and just rotate it. Either drink it or top up screen wash and refill. Canned water seems an expense when it's practicably free out of the tap.
