GeeGee, that's great news, I hope it goes really well. And it's a detached house? I am *so* jealous (not horribly so! just in a good way). I hope all your preps stay nicely hidden - there's something to be said for black binbags within plastic crates, and plain cardboard boxes. And as your good frie...

Driving practice, after a fortnight off because of the weather - had my first pedestrian trying to throw himself under my wheels. Successfully avoided.

I've spent a couple of hours this weekend working on the EDC for the car, including a better first aid kit, and more clothes than I've had in there previously, as well as an old pure wool blanket. The other part of my prep work this weekend has been to re-pack my airing cupboard, emptied out when my...

I’ve used CBD oil for pain relief and while it doesn’t cure it, it lowers it to a 2/10 if that makes sense. I then went onto the gummies which are expensive but if you shop around, you can find a BOGOF deal somewhere. I found the gummies weren’t as good but that’s a personal preference. Admission t...

Ah no staying put isn't a viable option, although where we are now was fine when we bought it more than 20 years ago but as the years roll by niether health nor lifestyle is what it was. The gardens too small to allow a decent size extension, then add into that that we absoluely hate it where we ar...

Are you sure a bungalow is the way forward? I've seen a lot recently about lifts in a domestic setting - I suppose without the national grid, or a massive supply of electricity from a petrol generator, a lift is irrelevant to a prepper :oops: but they look so much more secure than the stairlifts my...

I'm due to retire in a couple of years ( if things work out). As such, can't put it off any longer - have started on The Plan.. What i need to do on the run up to retirement and, more importantly, what the hell I'm going to do with myself once I do retire. Have a reasonable idea on the run up to re...

I have two daughters but we don't live in each others pockets, (I wanted them to be independent and able to cope, unfortunately they are a bit too good at it) the wife's family aren't interested in her unless they want something, we have a friend who has been incredibly helpful, so it really does m...

Just as a bit of background as to how we got here four years ago we had a car accident that has left my wife with multiple health problems, not long after I had to leave work from ill health. We coped for a while when then wife also had to stop working she had taken a job at vastly reduced rates of...

It would seem that Toplicht are still in business so you could see if they have anything on their website and if not you could email them some photos and ask for advice. That can work surprisingly well. I did that for an old model (1980s) sewing machine by Elna, and I got a personal reply 15 minute...
