Adjusting my mindset

[vassili]

I was a bit silly and let myself get sucked in by the whole 2012 gig! Don't know why, I'm usually pretty level headed but there you go, I am now back on track and prepping in a sensible frame of mind. Think logically and plan accordingly, don't let yourself be distracted.

Good points about planning for the most likely problems - a burst water pipe (stored water at home - even 5 litres will see you through immediate emergency use) and house fire (take photos of your belongings, keep phone numbers and bank account details somewhere safe - I copied that stuff onto a dvd, and gave the dvd to my sister, as well as a copy for me).
