Decaff-my cupboard smells the same!
A couple of times a year our local co op has a half price washing powder deal so we stock up- it doesn't go out of date,is always going to be used and saves the pennies!

It's great isn't it! Friends always remark on how my home always smells of fresh washing good job they don't open the cupboard

Love a good deal, bought huge bags from Groupon and always add a 10 wash box to a shop when I can, I have lots of cleaning stuff stashed away

This weekend...its probably more gardening than pepping but i'm fixing up some drainage guttering to the geenhouse and setting up the 2 waterbutts to collect water.

Been looking at my gutters as a means of collecting water SHTF
I live in a mid terrace and the drainpipe is in next doors garden. They would let me tap into it if need be,but you can't beat having your own. So bought a down spout piece and just waiting for some drain pipe from a friend,so if need be I can fit downspout and my own supply.

Brilliant! Such a simple, yet effective thing to do. Filter through a tea towel and boil, job done.

OH and I went camping this week for the first time in years.

Just confirmed to myself that bugging in would be our preference lol

or I need to take up yoga or get a bigger tent!

Hit two different car boot sales as its coming to the end of the season, then hit a few outdoor shops as the sales are starting to begin as the weather gets worse.

Picked up a Primus Eta Express and a few cans of gas from Cotswolds Outdoors as it was on sale, and got a non working Casio Gshock (now working after I put in a new battery) for £2, from a car boot.



I was expecting more camping stuff and tools this time of year as it's the right time for people to get shot of summer hol's bits and tools from failed projects.
