    I suppose if there had to be two threads then one could be about prepping in relation to politics, and the other could be prepping only, no politics allowed?

    Alternatively just amalgamate the two under a genetic prepping heading....and hopefully both new and old posters will run with it.

    I too think we should be sending out tracker dogs laden with jelly babies after mardatha....

    Is that why you're perplexed? ;):rotfl:

    Plenty of reasons to be more than a little perplexed at the moment - some very odd stuff going on at the moment, including some very odd thanking.

    Add that the new thread is obviously the continuation of this thread and obviously has given a link-back in the first post to the previous thread (ie this one).

    I think there's about half a dozen things going on to be perplexed by at the moment...:rotfl:

    Hope everyone is ok.
    Minor prepping, getting application sorted for course I want to start. Have been given full time work for the next couple of weeks then it's summer hols. after hols I'll go back to vastly reduced hours so money will take a cut from what I've got used to for the last year. But the course I want to do will take up a lot of time so I'll need to be really organised and more careful with money.

    Re chilcott read today would be the perfect day to bury a news story as there is so much going on you could slip sonething out under the radar.


    I have serious fire place envy, as a child our family homes all had fireplaces but our marital home just has radiators with no lounge focal point except the 'tv'

    Oh, I think I was being thanked sarcastically by my troll, so I repaid the compliment. :)

    What on earth is "odd thanking"?!
    Life is too short to waste a minute of it complaining about bad luck. Find joy in the simple things, show your love for those around you and be grateful for all that you have. :)

  • Seriously? ^^^ This is how you welcome new posters?!?

    I read it, and it appears to me, that it's only addressed to trolls.

    Not a troll. A poster jesting because talk of politics is not wanted on this thread apparently as it is not considered related to prepping.
    Not dim ;) .....just living in soft focus :p

    I'm confused, you thanked my last post does that mean you think I'm a troll:(
    I usually thank posts once I've read them so I know where I am on a thread but I've not thanked many on here as I've not been keeping up properly with what going on and it feels like some ae criticising other posters so I've not thanks as many as usual as I don't want to look like I'm agreeing with any criticism --I'm even more confused now:(

    Have I upset anyone?
