Today I tested a homemade wonder bag. Potatoes: Brought chopped up potatoes (for mash)to the boil with lid on for 6 mins. Put straight in wonder bag, although I did line with an emergency foil blanket in case of spills. I left it about 7 hours as I started it too early. The potatoes are cooked, stil...

I have put silver bubble wrap insulation on both sides of my loft hatch, this has already help retain heat. Not a bad idea. But I hate going up there because of all the fibreglass, plus I don't feel very good on ladders these days. I could maybe do the outside. One room is not under the attic, has ...

Having read a post about hay boxes, there is also the wonder oven. Gas for camp stoves on offer at a well known outdoor shop.I have topped up my supply. For when the electric is working, rice heat bags for warming the beds before getting into them. I have put silver bubble wrap insulation on both si...

We have a motion usb light in the hall and getting some more. Multiple battery, wind up and chargeable...

My close friends know and we have been chatting, my eldest is autistic, and tends to react differently which ...

Thank you, We have experienced loss before and long term illness that wasnt long in the end. That was so hard (still is at times) but I fear this will be different. We tend to come together as a family, obviously that's not possible at the moment. My mum has asked me to hold off telling the kids unt...

Hi, Where bugging in we are ok (always room for improvements), but how do we prepare ourselves for loss? The basic ideas of having things to distract, but is there a way to prepare for this? I'm waiting on news about my mum, I don't think it's good but still hoping for a positive outcome. I have 2 g...

I'm a huge fan of zombie fiction, but ones with a story, not just gore. I also like crime, fantasy (vampire, witch, fae etc) and have recently read a selection of Margaret Atwood, although found these quite disturbing. I do like apocalyptic but feel safer reading zombies as it is fiction and not wit...
