Ogre - I keep meaning to print out vital information myself. So important for when the internet goes down the plughole... My next project will be to get the info itself, then make a printing plan. I reckon some sturdy folders or ring binders would be good.

Paper is still the best format. That's why I'll get home with my map books and compass in my GHB, while iPhone users will be buggered when the network goes down. :roll:

Because I can't use the cellar, I've decided to sacrifice the majority of my crafting area for my preps. I can always use the dining table for my quilting. I'm now in the process of organizing and decluttering.

My husband and son have agreed for a trip to the Peak district in a few weeks to give me a refresher map reading lesson and walking day.

Have enquired at work as to the possibility of locating tinned butter in the UK. They are looking into it as it isn't bought in like this any more.

I don't know if anyone on here does patchwork quilting or is wishing to buy fabric for any time in the future, but just thought I'd mention that the price of hundred percent cotton is getting more expensive. Some has gone up buy two to three pounds over the last year, and even the American quilters are complaining about the cost of cotton!

Thanks for the link. I'm just waiting until this weekend to see if it can be got through works deliveries before ordering online.

If it's coming from the same place as the other stock, they don't mind it coming in the truck so long as I get my receipt checked... Thought it would save me a bit of money on the postage.

That's great - you have to get the butter/cheese online (I've never seen it in any shops) so you will defo save on postage :)

Today, I bought myself a new torch (I'm a sucker for torches. I carry four on me...)

Then I took a friend Stock shopping. We bought so much tinned goods, my back wheels were inside the arches. Luckily, was only a short drive to his place. Also bought a 18-pack of cleanex tissue packets...

Planning to change the back garden layout for more growing space and debating about a second greenhouse!

A new shed is definitely on the horizon, just need to factor in the cost of moving the oil tank first! :lol:
