We have had a pretty rubbish start to 2025 in general. It has however given me a kick in the pants. Finally got our wills signed and witnessed, we wrote them in lockdown!! My advance statement and advance decision have been revised again. POAs have been written via GovUK and just need paying for now...

As I have mentioned (several) times before we get free pallets to burn, but we also need to buy some wood. Our usual supplier now supplies us with kiln dried, (dried on a drying floor) wood rather than the seasoned wood he used to supply and it just seems to burn way too fast. I know that it is supp...

Thanks for the link. I do have quite a lot of stubbs which I saved with the intention of melting and reusing, I just havent quite got round to it, perhaps I should.

I buy a couple of non scented pillar candles every month with my supermarket shop and realised a couple of months ago that my supplies have completely run out as I like to sit by candlelight of an evening. I found some from that Swedish shop beginning with I, which were cheaper so ordered a dozen an...

So I emailed the company and heard nada back, I guess that they get enquiries all the time and get fed up of them. Bit behind with stuff at the moment so havent had the chance to measure and order the wicks. I did find an identical lamp for sale for £60, we wouldnt have paid anywhere near that for o...

Congratulations GeeGee, be very happy in your new home

Thanks for the advice. In my defence I misread the name as Toplight and googled that, obviously without success. They have the same lamp but in copper so have emailed them for additional information. We tested it the other night and it works beautifully. Very happy to have it for emergency use and o...

Having a bit of a clear out in the house, got rid of lots of stuff and found a lot of stuff we had forgotten about including this old oil lamp which was in the attic. From what I can gather it is either an old railway lamp or from a boat. It is in good condition, the wick is still there and still mo...

My sister who is not a prepper (knows and has seen my store room because I trust her) and I have a competition to see who has the most in their handbag/rucksack aka EDC, although she wouldnt call hers that. She is apparently well known at work for having all of the things in her handbag, if you need...

Thanks Rik, I have been wanting to do this for some time so have now ordered the foundation course manual. I am feeling a little stagnant at the moment and need to expand my knowledge in general. I alaready have a handheld Baofeng which I have attempted to use to listen in with little success, I am ...
