I found some Spaas brand tealights at B&Q today, packs of 200 for £6 which I think is pretty good.

Asda have tealights @ £2 for 100.

On the subject of lighting, £land are again selling the 11 LED, collapsible camping Lantern.

Oh and I am a Jim Butcher fan, I can't help with making fruit last, I buy mine weekly along with bread & milk, sorry.
I also know nothing about politics, not much use on here am I.

Having just said I wouldn't mention fiction for a while, do you know the first of his new steampunk series is out - The Aeronaut's Windlass, probably my next but one to be read.

I can think of lots of reasons you'd be useful if TSHTF (and not just boosting morale) you've a knack of finding a way through troubles and finding the resolve to implement it and generally manage to find a positive in doing so.

Funnily enough, I have that on loan from Kid Bruv as a DVD set and watched an episode last night.

My son loaned me the boxed set and suggested I'd enjoy them and the books.
Thank you Nuatha, what a kind thing to say about me.

There's no way I'd wander into a library during the night - not after Ghostbusters. Or a museum either, after the Xfiles..:eek:
ALIBOBSY I think The Keep was one of the scariest books I've read - and I've read seriously scary books lol. Also Fear Nothing by Dean Koonz, Odd but def gives you shivers!

Hello, could I please, possibly join this thread? It's not just the preparedness, though that's something I'm very interested in. It's that I've NEVER met anyone with the same taste as me in books!!! Especially TP who I was lucky enough to meet three times at conventions before the embuggarance- such a gentleman - but ALL authors I've read.
Realise this isn't the bookworms thread though so won't be offended if you say no.
On the SHTF side of things we have had two allotments for over 40 years (I'm old I'm afraid), have kept bees for 20+ years and although we live in a city we are mostly self sufficient in seasonal UK soft fruits and veg. Plus I have the pickle mountain of the north west in the understairs cupboard so that might be handy in an emergency

Great image! Yes, your linkies were what I was thinking of - I wouldn't leave the oven on all that time either, I bought a dehydrator last year, running costs as low as a slow cooker.

I love the Dresden Files - must, must, must read the books too :eek:

Hester - I always make sure to read your posts, I agree with Nuatha

Prep-wise, having a slight rethink on stocking levels - especially cleaning stuff, I think I bought way too much to see me through the winter, the shelf is still full, and I believe ordinary bleach goes "off", i.e. less effective, after a while? Do people remember talking about "pool shock", something like that, a bleach that lasts years, if necessary? Does anybody buy that instead of buying ordinary bottles of bleach?

Hi Cappella!
