Sorry to hear its so tough right now, junmist - but you're *living* your preps - supporting your niece while your sister starts up an income stream is a family prep that connects you all. And as for internet prepping - sorting out which project you're going to do next is always a good thing, and there's probably stuff you can practise from youtube. Knitting? Knots? I know I can still tie a reef knot (from brownies!) but nothing else. A slipknot? Something you can pick up and set down.junmist wrote:No preps for the whole monthand feeling a failer as a prepper everything is on hold until my niece goes to uni ( as my sisiter is trying to start a bussinse in another county and I am in charge of my niece) havent even got a garden that I can prep by growing my own food. So fed up want to prep but feel unable to prep properly at the moment, I'm reduced to internet prepping which is no fun. Really really fed up.
Sorry but down in the dumps at the mo
In any case, not long now!
For my own preps, I've been retired for a month now
emptied my house of most of the bulky equipment I had here for my work, and caught up on the immediate family visits I needed to make, so I'm just at the start of making my house and garden more relevant to my needs, especially my prepping needs. My little kale plants I potted up last Wednesday were the very beginning of that.Now - getting the kitchen useable. I realise I've just been coping by chucking everything in there and letting it sit there, but there's no space at all to do anything. It's big enough, but very badly laid out. I don't have the money to change the layout, but I can declutter it and make it more workable. That's the agenda today.
