Preparedness for when

thriftwizard

Leave you lot & concentrate on work for a week & look what happens - TEOTWAWKI draws nigh!

Erm - 4 loo rolls? That'd see us through - oh, a whole day, provided no-one had a hangover & a curry the night before. 24 might do a week and a bit. But that's probably because I buy the cheap ones from L!dls; no A!di within easy reach, I'm afraid!

hi all just de-lurking for a mo.
i sent my hubby to grab a couple of loaves from tesco. our local tesco is the largest in the country and he phoned me to say they only had warburtons or hovis @ £1.30 a loaf. the whole of the bread ailse was virtually empty!!

:eek: See! See!! It's a conspiracy! Never mind who stole all the pies, where is all the bread? Hopefully Vanoonoo will find out and be able to nip back later with a report.

for gods sake this is a thread on an old style board, a board dedicated to old style things ie cooking, baking, cleaning and how to do this in an old style way while fitting into the world as it is today. it has no place for conspiracy theories, I really do not understand why you are all looking for hidden messages in everyday life.

I know you say, if you don't like it don't read it, but for goodness sake can we not hold our hands up and say this has all gone too far, it is nothing to do with the ethics of old style, it is just doom and gloom and scaremongering.

Ok, so I will get flamed for this, I will probably get reported but I don't care, I think this thread has been taken over by loonies, god help the rest of us

My advice would be to read the Commonsense Thread.

All this talk on the.... SHFT thread may be tongue in cheek stuff, but some people are actually getting worried by reading this type of thing.

Plenty of bread at my Tesco's but they have a sign up claiming they are getting extra bread in from other manufacturer's because they are having problems sourcing Kingsmill bread...

I like Inventory Manager. My DDs are always mocking my storeroom.

Lavandula I don't want to send anyone into a panic but could anyone, honestly, say there is no need to worry , the shops will always have bread and there will never be a power cut lasting more than an hour? And there is no better way to put worries into perspective than to have a giggle about them.

And then maybe put extra loo rolls and tea on next week's shopping list

Am off to A*di to buy lots of their onions while they are on the super Six for 39p. I have a hankering to make Onion Marmalade. Will check out the bread supplies when I am there.
I have decided having a lot of heavy jars of preserves will make a good Ammo supply to fend off Zombies :eek:....cant carry them in a BOB bag because of the weight.
Meanwhile, whilst waiting for afore mentioned Zombies it would be rude not to sample the growing pile of scrumptious stuff I have been making,....just in case it goes off!:p

I've been amusing myself this morning trying to fit the recent AF order into the storecupboard. These zombies had better watch out, I could brew up some serious chemical warfare with the amount of chilli sauce (OH's #1 favourite) and mango chutney (his #2 favourite) I have now. Lobbed from behind the ramparts of tinned tomato puree and coconut milk, of course.

Actually I'm going to need to lay in a few more rolls of loo paper given the amount of curry I seem to be intending to make during the ZA. Maybe some more cat litter too? :eek:

vanoonoo have just noticed you put me at No 1 gosh am honoured, just shows what an old bore I am on the subject, I think Mar and a few others could pip me to that post - preparing that is not being a bore.

Didn't get to Aldi yesterday so waiting to see if hubby is working this afternoon, if not will go later.

I feel left out........ I can do all that stuff, honest. I just can't be bothered cutting and pasting.

So can I volunteer to be Textile Coordinator (specialising in sheep spinning and sock knitting) please? I can grow veg too...I'm especially good at kale.

I vote for Val as Chief Kale Knitter.





I noticed Tesco didn't have much bread products either. And Asda didn't look much better. And there's no prepacked branded bread at the corner shop, either.

I wonder if this is a commercial bargaining issue?




In any case, my rather adorable visitor (the fella ) is in love with the pumpernickel bread I cooked at the weekend.

It's still cheaper to buy flour and do it ourselves.

Having real trouble getting on here today thought I had been banned:eek: will be back later if it sorts itself out XX
