Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

Arzosah, the Amazon ones are rechargeable BTW. Not the ones I've seen, hobo - I went online just before I posted to check, there's actually a warning about them being single use only. If you can get rechargeables, more power to your elbow :) Try these https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-High-Capa...

Frnc, eneloop batteries are supposed to be the best.
I’ve switched from Eneloop to Amazon Basics AAs. They are of equal (or higher?) capacity and cheaper by half.

That's a good use of an inheritance, hobo, but sorry you've lost someone.

Re: Thinking about winter 24-25....

Dug out most of the rest of my winter clobber. But the forecast is a lot warmer from tomorrow. I did use a bit of heating last October, but non the one before. I never use heating in Sept. Today was just a test. I don't have much in the way of curtains etc. The lodgers now just have venetian blinds...
