Preparedness for when

Whitehall would need to do very little other than order the supermarkets and the likes of Amazon to hand over the data. Spiteful neighbours is still likely to be an issue.

All the more reason to use cash for everything

Frankly, short of a rationing situation (which includes maximum purchase numbers on special offers) it makes no sense to impose order limits. Not something I've come across before.

Nuatha, I think it's still limited to 10 of quite a number of things. So I can order 10 cases of champagne, but only 10 loaves of bread, or tins of beans.

Mind you, with all that champagne inside me, I wouldn't care if I ran out of baked beans...

I've just cut out my wonderbag! I had a remnant of 100% cotton furnishing grade material in my store and it's made a circle 40 inches across and enough to make the lid too. I'll have to get up to Dunelm Mill as they do a beanbag top up of polystyrene beds for £7.99 which should be big enough to stuff the sections with. I have a smaller Chasseur casserole which will definately fit and a larger le creuset one which I hope will fit, certainly the round middle section is cut to the size of that. I've looked at a few you tube videos on making and using a wonderbag and am so looking forward to having a go when it's finished.

I have been looking and not been able to find instructions for making a wonderbag, plenty of chargable download instructions or wonderbox instructions, but not the wonderbag?

I was thinking an old leaky beanbag might be good for conversion?

I have only read one chapter so far, but it seems revelatory.

I think Mrs LW probably got her instructions from here... (and yep, you're right about the beanbag being useful...)

I've just had a thought ( have wet hair, shampoo has prolly seeped into my brain) - has anyone 'seen' pineapple lately? I mean the one who isn't Perplexed Pineapple? Who has been 'seen' recently on-thread.

pineapple, hope you're OK, up there in the teagardens of Yorkshire.

I have added another pie from another store and made out like a bandit on YS bargains at Tosspots. I even treated myself to a 5p bunch of daffs, I was feeling that flush. They're rather wilted but I have trimmed them and jamjarred them and we shall see if they perk up.

I have a chocolate cake, too.

He has found some of it heavy going, but extremely interesting and informative. He reads and then shares with me. Brilliant in understanding how we are all being manipulated by tptb.

Has been a strange week for me and a very thought provoking one too. I've tried to keep up here and send hugs to those with poorly family and hope things continue to improve.

The hoarding/storing discussion has raised some interesting points and I am having a rethink on my shopping habits. I tend to buy flour and sugar frequently and in large amounts when on offer, but much of it is used in baking and bread making. As others have said jam making uses a lot of sugar and so how would it be possible to accurately calculate who has what. Indeed how much constitutes hoarding. OH uses white vinegar for cleaning the distiller so I buy it from sainsbobs, up to 10 bottles a time so I wonder what that says about me on the nectar card.

Last week OH finally got some support and now I get time out a couple of times a week to do my thing and have some me time:j I finally had a chance to read Last Light (got it over a year ago). Well I couldn't put it down. It was compelling reading and has haunted me since. It described exactly how I imagined things would be and has made me sort a few things. This week I'm going to finally order a Kelly kettle:j Not sure whether to get it through @mazon or go direct. Wondered how others purchased theirs. I don't really like the idea of having to carry gas or meths in the car and so a kk would be idea for picnic trips. I recently had a nightmare with a large company who have since sent a compo chq so that is being spent on useful stuff:) as soon as it clears.

I've ordered Afterlight and can't wait, but I need some more book suggestions that are based in the uk. I've had a look on @mazon, but can only find titles based across the pond. I don't do sci fi or fantasy or zombies if anyone has recommendations I'd be grateful. To have undisturbed time and space to myself to read is such a luxury and I;m looking forward to making the most of it.
I went through the first book in 2 days so now I have some me time I need to gather some books together. I hadn't read a book for years until last week. Although I have book cases full they tend to be reference, cookery, alternative, therapy and spiritual stuff and I dip in to them when needed.

I'm enjoying all the tales from the lottie and gardens and wish that I had the energy to do more, but it's unlikely to be this year. With that in mind and the worry of food costs and supplies along with restrictions on heritage seeds etc I'm thinking of ordering now so that I'm more prepared for next year. Can anyone suggest what to buy and how to store them. We visit FIL every 6 to 8 weeks and in the past this has caused problems with veggies not getting watered so all suggestions on what to grow in a very small garden that is mostly shaded and rather damp are welcomed. I've had various successes and failures in the past, but mainly failures in this garden. If a slug or snail farm were required however I would excel:rotfl:
