Re: What Preps are you doing this week

I'm tidying, and finishing projects, and starting projects to up my income (so I can buy more preps :mrgreen: ) the place looks better, and I can store more, so its a win-win. Now to fetch some more foraged apples to make apple sauce - I'll b...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week

Thats so true! I have lots of quiet country footpaths near me, but one of them has gone - after being closed temporarily for building work, it now has houses on both sides of it :( For my own preps - I'm using lots of Sainsbo vouchers to up my food and hygiene stocks - they offered me four sets of £...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week

Mouse, one place I found was http://www.thesafetysupplycompany.co.uk/ Like you, I've really been stung at Boots for bandages, but safetysupply have crepe bandages 10cm x 4.5m 100% cotton for £0.79! Spiderwebb, glad you're feeling better - and yes, security and clearing things up sort of go hand in h...

Re: Plumbing - currently a blocked plughole

Having recently posted pix elsewhere, that *might* be because the pic itself was too big? Just a thought - decaff, I *so* want to see the mogsplosh :D

Re: Hedgerow harvests - what are you foraging atm?

Last year I was very good and didn't take very much to leave for others and the wildlife ( - good foraging etiquette,) but I noticed lots of blackberries were left to rot on the bushes, so this year I will take more as it is silly for food to go to waste.
