Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

This week, starting today, it's into bug-in mode: I've got the bl006y covid. Isolating from OH, for what it's worth, feeling sorry for myself. Sorry to be a wuss :( :( Dreading OH coming down with it. Get some lemsip down your neck and woman up :twisted: :twisted: I mean get well soon Jenny :) Than...

Re: Prepping when ill or infirm

Thank you Gilly! That's really useful - I'm a bit active during the day, but by 5pm I'm more or less useless physically, so this will be good to do later in the evening.

Re: N.H.S. views and experiences

Well the ins and outs of political doings aren't the big thing for us here- our job is to find ways round them. Any ideas and "fixes" welcome - we've already had some good ones. I've got two fixes in relation to dental work: - brother had a hygiene appointment set up, and the dentist call...

Re: N.H.S. views and experiences

I should also say that I took no pleasure in writing my posts. I’m genuinely concerned for both the NHS and my side of the trench that is social care. Indeed. I just watched the first Putin v The West and it specifically references the 2012 opening event of the Olympics, and how proud we are of the...

Re: N.H.S. views and experiences

As preppers what can we do? Absolutely nothing. Try and take care of our health as best we can I suppose and prepare for the end of the NHS which is free at the point of delivery. That's becoming more and more important. I follow what's happening in my local NHS trust, and honestly, between infecti...

Re: N.H.S. views and experiences

I work as a community MH worker and deal with the NHS on a daily basis at work, I’m also on the bank for an alcohol rehabilitation unit as well. There’s a hell of a lot of things that could be done to save money in the day to day running of the NHS, to give you an example, often patients get discha...

Re: Buying a new(to me) car

Hi Forgecorvus, I'm not a car person but I *have* just bought a new-to-me car. I don't know if even the carmaker would be relevant to you, as you want an estate car. I bought a Toyota Aygo, one of the smallest cars available, but it's computerised like the dickens, I can't believe it's easy for old ...

Re: returning member

Hello unsure, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss of your wife. I'm not at all surprised you lost your way for a while, I think it's inevitable to be honest: it's as much as you can do to keep going. I'm glad to see you back here! Remember that you haven't *finished* grieving, it's just moved on to an...

Re: Ffp3 masks cheap

Home Bargains website has gone doolally (technical term, dontcha know). It's showing a store only just over a mile away from me, that doesn't exist - that area's all mock tudor commuter homes built in the 1930s. After a bit more jiggery pokery, it started showing another one, and hunting around ther...
