On the plus side, it turns out if you put them through the washing machine then once they're dry again you'd never know

Unless I'm missing something, this should be the other way round - a substance is more dense when it's cold (i.e. expands when it gets warm), so there's more fuel in your litre when it's cold.

I really like the comment Jaffab made about waiting 5 days. Sometimes a delay lets things get into perspective too. I totally agree. Yesterday my husband (who is generally pretty good with money - he's responsible for us having finally switched our utility provider off a standard tariff) texted me ...

Thanks for the post, it may just prod me into action. That's what I was hoping for! :) Yes it is prepping. In a large scale event, we may need blood. I agree, it's a good prep for society as a whole, nice one :) Thanks guys, glad people share my point of view :) Interesting to see how many people a...

Okay, so this isn't something I imagine people would immediately think of as being "prepping", but it struck me that donating blood is quite a prepper thing to do, albeit prepping for society as a whole rather than the individual or family. So, with that in mind, I hope nobody minds me rai...

That said, if we do ever have a mouse problem, they'll be brilliant for hunting down the mice, mauling them, and then leaving body par...

Poundland in Birmingham are currently doing generic loratadine at £1 for 3 packs of 7 tablets i.e. 21 tablets altogether for £1. Superdrug next door, meanwhile, are charging £2.49 for 1 pack of 7...

Having an idea of how you'd get home if public transport was out is crucial, I think, for anybody that works away from home full time - though only if you've already worked out how to cope with staying for a day or two at the office if needs be, agreed. If you've got a flat route like a canal, or y...

Really helpful suggestions, I think I definately need to put more thought into it though. I commute into central Birmingham so it's very built up - luckily I do have a few friends who live in the city I could stay with overnight if all transport failed. Looks like we need a central Birmingham "...
