THE Prepping thread - a new beginning :)

DigForVictory

If this is the beginning of the end, one son has made the most of it - out on a climbing wall with his girl whilst I & his little brother sit & wait in the carpark.

We may all yet survive but someone had better be making copious apologies. He's writing cheques backed by my good word, so his girl will be got home safe before I Have Words with the intrepid blighter.

Next time Nibbie's due, I'll have fizz.

Always look on the bright side of life (whistle)
Always look on the light side of life (whistle).....

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine :cool:

I didn't much care for the world as it was will the new one be any better???

The Kelly kettle cook set and support now has (or will on Monday when I post it) a new mum and a new home who I hope it will be most useful to, nice to re home spare things to someone who needs them!

Well the end of the world as we know it hasn't happened so far and it is tomorrow now.

Ho Hum.

I could be wrong but I think it is the day after tomorrow in Australia.

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

The time-before-last that the world was ending, I was getting ready for work. I debating doing the dishes before heading out; after all, if the world was gonna end by midday, was it worth it?!

So I left them, and had to wash them later on............

Pal of mine just got quoted £78 quid to resole & heel a pair of work boots.
Some days, I want to weep at the driven insanity that makes extending the life of trusted old friends cost more than buying new acquaintance.

I'm with you, there.

My previous fridge was functional but ailing. It was going to be £80 just to get a repair person to darken my door for a fault which might (or might not) have been fixable but probably would have required a part.

I went around and around the houses trying to get a better solution than paying nearly 70% of the price of a new appliance just to get an old one looked at. In the end, I gave up and bought a new fridge but I wasn't happy.

Ridiculous about the boots.

Join the clan re trying to keep existing items working:(.

Went into a jewellers to try and keep basically perfectly decent watch going and was quoted £80/£90 as likely charge to service it. After which I went and bought a new watch for £115:( instead.
