Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 12

Just ordered another power bank (small usb one) £19.99 in Argos paid £40 for the same one a few years ago ... Screenshot_20250116_220745_Chrome.jpg I've lost an Anker powerbank I paid £90 for not six months ago. I took it to a market and it must have got lost in the pack down somewhere. Gutted. It'...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 12

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.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 12

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...

Re: Cannabis for pain relief

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...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 12

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...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 12

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...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 12

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...
