Haven't really been able to do much more on the winter prep front but I am lurking. The only things happening are stocking up the storecupboard with extra tins of things that don't take much heating and some extra sachets/tubs of hot chocolate. I think I'll get a couple of tubs of instant Horlicks too.

Love the grippers, although I know if I get any we'll never get heavy weather That's just how it works for me.

Love reading this thread, and last year it really helped given that we had severe weather for a long period of time here. Well today the store cupboard has just taken a step further. Have just made 19 full 1lb jars of Jam and 18 half pound jars of jam from Rasps and strawbs I bought. total cost not including jars was just under £19, as SIL works on a farm and I got the fruit half price, plus the sugar on special from Tesco. Tomorrow will be the rhubarb and ginger jam, and marmalade. Next week will use the money I got back from quidco to buy tins, also using the £5 voucher from the paper tomorrow for Morrisons.

Thanks oldtractor - I am quite sad, have gone back and forward having a wee look in the cupboard, all the jars look great - bit like when you have a lovely white washing blowing in the wind - you cant help but admire it!!!!

I got my Morrisons voucher from the petrol station & used it to stock up on soup.
Morrisons have got Heinz soups on offer at the moment.

Rainy-Days

CH27 how much are they on offer for if you don't mind me asking? If they are good deals I stack them up in the garage - at this rate I'll be opening a corner shop.
