- bought a cast iron firepit - it can double as a bbq, with a clean surface to lay the food on, and its current use will be to burn branches from the garden I need to prune, rather than throwing them away - then the cold ashes can go on my soil, which is in desperate need of organic matter. But if TSHTF in any way, it'll get brought into the house and used as a source of heating and cooking.
- sold a bookcase I've always loathed but had needed to keep, and got £80 cash for it from a gumtree purchaser. I'd decluttered so many books, I didn't need it any more
- got an Approved Foods order, and as well as the usual bulk purchases, there was something on there I'd not normally have put at the top of the list, but they were 3 for 99p - nit combs! I've decided to specialise in medical and associated stuff.
- speaking of which, after some personal experiences recently with wounds, I looked for some iodine on sale cheaply in the UK - Lloyds Pharmacy do some, for less than £2, so I went to buy it - they had to order it, and then I collected it. Its only a little bottle, but I'm happy I've got something. And then I noticed it said "iodine and potassium iodide" - which is the stuff that safeguards the thyroid, isn't it? Which I also have
- I've finally accepted I can get rid of the very-nice-but-useless yoga ball thats been cluttering up my shelving for the past don't know how long. Its fated for gumtree or ebay, depending on how much it'll cost to post, when I come to check it.
Thats over the last 2-3 weeks - I don't do that amount of stuff in a week usually! Though I know I'm behind the curve.
