Just got my July bill. Electricity is £79, but that include two heatwaves (bill runs from 20 June to 20 July) and I used a colder setting in the June one, which used a lot more electricity. Normally it would be about £40. I used 270kWh, and 150 was the A/C. I won't be using the colder setting in fut...

Been giving the heat issue some thought. As per others, we keep curtains / blinds closed, open/close windows as appropriate. During the winter, we let the house cool down, as its not economical to heat the whole place. As such, we heat just enough to prevent damp / mould etc. However, we try to kee...

Regarding heat, I basically do very little during the summer. I did go to a gig in London a couple of years ago, and Brixton was like an oven when I went outside. I don't plan any trips or anything normally. I do cut the lawn etc, but not during a heatwave. Spent much of yesterday keeping an eye on ...

Got a bit fed up of Amazon (and others) deliveries. The whole point of Amazon's Subscribe and Save is to get one delivery a month. But now one of the two items scheduled for Thursday is suddenly coming today. Another day wasted. I found out about pickup locations, and there is a counter near me. But...

Big long post coming here - sorry. Will try and work out how to capture things into a single doc.. What I've done is taken the National Risk Register (NRR) and stuffed it into my AI Prepper model. This is a model I have created based on lots of prep relevant documents. For the NRR, I asked the mode...

Turn on side and leave another 15. 5. You can loosen top, let a bit dribble out. Sterilises the threads. 6. Refill, add 1 Oasis. 7. L...

A financial prep/gamble. My energy price fix comes to an end at the End of August, coinciding with the end of my part time job. :( :shock: So, I've selected and applied my price fix to start from the day after. Opted for a two year fix at £20 or about 11% more per month than I was paying for the la...

We could do with 10 threads, one for each. This is the list off the download. Pandemic .............................................................................................................. 13 Flooding .............................................................................................

Check out your local Resilience Forum, and download their Risk Register. Cheshire seem to have abandoned the matrix method, and simply have ten categories - flooding, severe weather, pandemic, industrial incident, malicious attack, loss of service, cyber threats, animal diseases, transport incidents...

Yes we need to translate the biggest risks into the most important preps. I might run it back through GPT. https://prepare.campaign.gov.uk/ Government advice on individual preparedness But as well as actual preps, we need to use the risks themselves, as specific indicators to look out for. Water is ...
