What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10

[Yorkshire Andy]

When you get to your destination there's a boyes store on kings street they have a offer on the gas cartridges if you need to restock

Something like 10x for £15 and they are the "better" ones containing a butane/ propane mix which work better in cooler weather in the hardware/ car section

Hope you manage to have a good Christmas and boxing day swim in the north sea

Consider getting your plumber to install one of these once you start the kitchen then no need to empty the cupboard under the sink get on your hands and knees trying to turn the stop cock you can bring it up above the worktop so no bending down to shut the water off just flick the switch...

I would say call in for a brew as you pass but me, the wife (who's started popping paracetamol) and little man are full of cold / snot and you , especially your hubby doesn't want it .. might go paint a big red cross on the front door

Got a delivery of Clinel hand sanitizer wipes and Imodium. Updated the wipes in bugout bags. It's a shame they only come with about18 months, but it was only £6 for 100 and they are useful for all sorts of things like travelling or eating out anywhere. I keep the box next to the home first aid kit.

Checked the dates on my first aid spreadsheets, all in order.

New folding solar panel

For my ecoflow since I used the panel I had on my shed .... Got it for £80 by stacking a few vouchers / nectar points on eBay it's coming from from renology themselves

We have a eco-flow folding panel initially bought for camping which has been very useful,
it’s now backup to our small fixed eco-flow 240w system.

I looked at the ecoflow saw the price of the 110w panel and err went "how much! " In my head £80 vs £200+

Eco-worthy are selling a system like mine (my permanent system), 2 x 120w panels, mounting brackets,
30A charge controller and leads for £189.99 ATM, I think this is a bargain. BTW I paid £120 for my folder.
