Re: Unexpected but useful gift
What Jenny said ... I'd love to see a photo, Medusa, if you can manage it. And yes, I post photos directly onto here.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
Just realised this is the "what preps" thread - sorry folks :lol: my last supermarket shop did include more water, actually, I have another 12 litres. And I'm *still* tidying so I can get a double glazer in - I was going to go to one who'd previously done work for me, but it looks like the...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
I’m 82 if I was 20 years younger we would have a roof covered with solar panels and battery backup and probably a heat pump the complete works.....but i’m not 20 years younger. 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 ...

Re: About growing lettuce 🥬😄
Years ago, I found a little plant called salad burnet. It's naturalised in my garden now, I literally don't do anything for it, and it grows like weeds https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/wildflowers/salad-burnet. The leaves are actually quite pretty, you could certainly let it into the...

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...

Well done, Frnc, anything you can do can help.
I'm lurgified, hardly helping myself, let alone anyone else
But Lil's post about buying a copy of Day of the Triffids went down well with me

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
Car looked as if it had driven through the Sahara - covered in dust and grime. As such, decided to give it a wash down with a bucket of shower water. (What a conscientious citizen I am...) Anyway, mid window clean, the neighbourhood busybody decided he needed a walk, happened to walk past the end o...

Re: Hi all; new member
Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you're doing really well, and stocking up what's right for you. That's the most important thing, of course - and since you've got kids, it will be changing a bit over time.
Since you're looking at mesh whatnots - you're definitely ahead of me

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
I'm catching up on things that I more or less abandoned when the worst of the heatwaves were on (I've just heard we're due another next week, but at least I've more or less caught up) - regular driving, repairs to wifi and mobile connections, a bit of cleaning in the house, that sort of thing. It's ...
