What Preps are you doing this week? Part 8.

[Yorkshire Andy]

Well today the camping stove came out and my camping kettle. We had our school walk and it's poured down here. So colleagues gazebo went up and the camping stove came out so we all had several cups of tea to keep warm

Treated myself to this the other night

I have 2000 tea bags

I think I need more

There is no such thing as too many tea bags!

And some sort of milk product? I have a massive supply of Nido, but I reckon it wouldn't last long when I start to use it. Uses a lot of powder to make a litre.

I guess, I should crack a tin open to see how it's keeping.

As a forethought. Maybe get some Earl Grey tea and bottles of lemon juice, as a milk alternative?

Confession time: Another rotation failure:-

Tried some of my UHT stash, which didn't get rotated, expired March after a long life sat there. It was definitely degraded and barely usable Not so much sour, hard to describe how it tasted wrong. Just wrong) Slinging some dozen or so litres. Sorry Humanity

I bought some of those cheap dehumidifier tubs today. The old bit of this house (1856 according to the plate under the roof) seems to be a bit damp. I have asthma and damp affects it, so I need to see if these tubs will help now before the winter weather starts. If they don't, I might have to investigate buying a proper electric dehumidifier job. I bought a small hygrometer for my bedroom earlier in the week as that's the place where if there's damp, I'll be affected most. Even in sunny weather, it seems to be borderline damp in there - about 60-65% humidity.

Milk ain’t a problem here either. My wife is lactose intolerant, and I use a pint a week to colour my very strong tea. If we don’t have it in, I drink black like you. Makes it one thing less to be bothered about.

I too, have found that UHT milk doesn’t last long past it’s use by. Turns to a manky kind of yoghurt!

Tried my luck since there was NO ONE in the bus or queuing about an hour before they were due to leave...

We save margarine containers,and use this: https://www.screwfix.com/p/kontrol-crys ... -5kg/4896h. When they fill up,put the lid on that you stood the tub on,and remove. The toxic liquid it leaves behind makes an excellent weed killer too!

Good to know on both counts, thanks!
