Preparedness for when

danih

Just after testing my cheapie soap from prep stash. Have been using a shower gel the past few days - never feel as clean with gel. The soap is te5co's cheapest, value soap, 15p per bar i think. After working in the garden, a good scrub in the shower was much needed.

Full marks for the soap - great job.

I find that with simple products like a bar of soap or porridge oats you can get just as good a product with value items than with branded. Okay you might not get the biggest oats in unbranded porridge but you are also not paying premium prices.

Thanks for the feedback danih. I bought some of that for the food bank; they get people who have been thrown out with nothing on occasion.

Using up all the pressies so did not want to add another bar to the stock pile. One thing I will not need if SHTF and I bug-in.

Apologies, haven't checked thread out for a while, so if this has all been said before, please ignore.

I've been doing a few courses with Coursera which have been really excellent and thought provoking. However I've just seen this one, and had to come over here as I thought there may be quite a few interested people:

We could even have a study group...

does anyone know a natural remedy for cystitis ? and what cause it? I have only had it once or twice in the pass!, and have got it again, so just nipped into supermarket to get something for it, but I was thinking.. do I buy a pack or two to put with my preps? and it will prob go out of date before I have it again lol, or if SHTF is there a natural way of curing it? I know it is an imbalance of good/bad bacteria??


sorry if it sounds trivial, but things like this, and other minor niggles could crop up in any situation lol..

I'm sure I read somewhere about using natural yoghurt (the mind boggles, frankly) but there's probably something on the interwebs.

Niggly health problems aren't trivial, anything which could distract or discomfort or cause lack of sleep at a time of great stress is something best avoided.

I know natural yoghurt you can use for Thrush...

Aaah, that's probably what I was half-remembering then. Am a bit of a dozy one today, full of headcold and running on empty.

I may have to head out for a chazzer-browse and chocolate run, just to get things moving.
