popped some more paracetamol and ibuprofen in my basket when picking out tonight's dinner

Packing. Packing. Makkng lists. Packing, bit more packing.
house moves suck.
did i mention i have packing to do?

on a positive note, our new home has far more land for growing food, plus shed and greenhouse space, making me a happy little prepper.

Waiting on a British Army Issue Sleeping Bag Liner. Used my eBay Nectar points to cover the cost so it's essentially a freebie


I picked up a lightweight packable liner from Trespass but it doesn't seem to be too big. I'm 5' 5" and barely fit into it so hopefully an ex-army one will be a bit better.


My sleep system now consists of:

Belgian Army Bivvy Bag
Blacks Quad 2 Sleeping Bag
British Army Issue sleeping bag liner
StormShield self-inflating mat



Definitely no more spending now until after Christmas.

Popped into sainsburys and picked up 4 jars of duck fat, expires 2016, only popped in for cheese and chives though

I did have chives growing in a pot in the kitchen, the mogsplosh took a liking to them unfortunately so when he wasn't eating them he was trying to make a bed in them, who knew cats loved chives...

I grew catnip for my cats ... they never touched it, headed immediately for the curly-leafed parsley!

Please be careful with chives around your cat. All members of the onion family, including chives, are dangerous to cats. If eaten they can cause a condition called Heinz body anaemia. The leaves are usually less toxic than the bulbs but still contain the substance that can cause the anaemia.

Since getting my 2 cats I always check before I get any new plants, a surprising number of human-safe plants are toxic to them!

Thanks for letting me know this, I had no idea it was binned last week after he destroyed it, in fact he's destroyed every plant we've ever had... we got him a special cat grass growing kit that took ages to grow and he ignored it!

[pitchshifter]

No problem Decaff. Something else I've learned since having cats... It is the cats prerogative to ignore any item bought specifically for them .
