Preparedness for when

westlothianlass

Hi all and a big welcome to our new peeps:T,
Its been a lovely day if a bit baltic, managed to get out in the garden for a bit which helped my "soul" feel a bit better if you know what i mean:o. I even managed to get some washing blowing outside.
Hugs Mar hope you manage to stretch your legs in a non-icy garden soon.
Got my knitting out last night instead of watching carp on tv, and finished a pair of easy peesy wrist warmers for DH.
D&DD hope your new neighbours turn out to be okay, but sad that people are having to move away.
Love the idea of a book group, only problem is i'm a big scaredy cat so will have to read the "janet and John" versions:rotfl:, do have a pile of self sufficiency books etc though, so happy to discuss any of them.
Take care all
WLL x

You'd probly all have the vapours if you knew what I read. It's not at all old ladylike .. Paranormal horror, ancient evil, awful curses, and demons.
I always say you canny beat a good demon for cheering you up on a bad day

Hi all,

:)Thanks for the pallet info Mumma have bookmarked some of the linkys and will have good nosey later.

I got Last Light from CS last week and started reading it in bed Sat eve, well I couldn't put it down, lol. Finished it on Sunday and thought it was v good. Will be on the lookout for After Light now and have noted other book recommendations from elsewhere, thanks everyone. I'm rubbish with the library and always forget to renew even tho you can do it online, so I end up with fines. Think I owe about £20 at the mo so no more books til it's paid (I have returned the books now BTW so not still growing!!)

Weather still strange here, lovely sunshine with occasional snow shower:eek: for past few days. Have done some more digging over of lottie and also been to my landshare garden where I gathered 8 bags of leaves to make leaf mold and collected some wood for kindling. Still not fit for planting really, tho I put a few onion sets in. I ordered some seed potatoes from T&G about 2-3 weeks ago now and they've not arrived yet, must chase them up. Hoping that this year will be a better growing season, hardly got anything last year, anything that actually germinated was gobbled by slugs before it got going:(

Keep safe everyone x

Pops the word 'plonker' comes to mind (that's me being polite).

Have a tooth infection, started yesterday managed to get some antibiotics which I'm glad of and pain killers.

Feeling a bit fed up to say the least.

I rarely take them antibiotics that is, but sometimes needs must. Worrying what would happen if the SHTF with health and things too.

That's a lot politer than what I'd call him, but then again poloutition's[sp?] have never lived in the real world.

We'll be ok it's not next door neighbours thankfully just gutted as the latest ones are going to be a big loss to the community as a whole.Good for them though as they're moving to lovely part of Kent with a huuuuge garden just what they always wanted *lucky devils!*

Mar have you ever read any James Herbert? Might be up your street for !!!!!ies and things Was very sad to hear of his passing I have always been a fan of his.

Nipped out to the garden centre earlier just to get out somewhere and it was ridiculously busy they had 8 young men doing the overflow carparking!

Only went for a few more pricking out pots and came back with fruit :rotfl: I got DS3's allgold rasps from there really cheap last year and he loves them so got another pack of 8 healthy canes for £8.99 quite a good price for these round here.

lol I wrote g h o u l i e s and it blanked it out..I didn't mean the dangly sort..

Rosemary Jane I blame you!! LOL Just downloaded Kindle reader to my PC and thought I would have a look on Ama*on for free books along the lines of prepping/apocalypse etc

WELL! for your info I now have Prepper Survival, The Survivalist's Cookbook, Bug Out Bag/Prepper Survival and WI's book on preserving etc

On the fiction side I have Apocalyptic oddities (short stories), Sub Zero, Joshua and Deadlocked.

I only looked for about 5 mins and there are loads of other books especially if you are into zombies, even a guide on how to be a good zombie!

Yeah, but could you get your demon avatar into focus, hen? I've mentioned it before but it messes with my ME-brain; keep having to check that my eyes are in focus.

Nice to see ya, craigy, shame about the book, I could have done you some exerpts on t'interweb, or tied it to a carrier pigeon and winged it across the sea to ya.

I've been fighting with the lurgy since last Weds, have been on doubled-doses of meds and sleeping about 11 hours in 24. Great fun for the family; last saw them at Crimble (was ill, slept all the time) next at Easter (rinse, and repeat).

Never mind, worse things happen at sea. Or so I've been told. I tend to concur with that old adage; Those who would go to sea for pleasure would go to hell for a pastime.

Funnily enough, I don't suffer from seasickness. Absolute terror of drowning in the briny deep, but that's just part and parcel of existential anxiety. Come from a long line of landlubbers.;)

I have had an early baff and am corresponding to you in a delicious brushed cotton ensemble of pink checked pj troosers and a grey pj jacket covered with cartoon penguins. I am technically a middle aged woman but to look at my nightwear drawer, you'd wonder. Better hope not to have to evacuate the Towers overnight. Although I have a mesh draw-string bag alongside the BOB with my trainers and a Goretex shell jacket in it. And sox.

Alrighty, enough idiocy. Gonna count some soup cans......
