Good luck for tomorrow's move, Lyn. Wishing you well, and mind your backs! Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

Safe and happy travels, Mrs LW!
Says she who happened to be a bit close by in the city when the Belfast Primark went up (glorious building & I was in a classroom teaching 12 witnesses - yet seems all my family are Convinced I dunnit) but prepared for Christmas in the Duty Free with some thoroughness...0 -
Mrs LW, hope its going well today for you!
DfV, I don't follow what you mean about Christmas
2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
As I understand it, prepping is being ready for TEOTW, within reason the unexpected & also for the inevitable.
Christmas lands on me with a distinct pinch of all three, so while I had the chance to shop unnoticed, I acquired all sorts of treats that (a) I can only source through a Duty Free & (b) my beloved family do not realise exist.
Which will make concealing them much easier. With a side bonus of helping me cope with the unexpected entirely possibly fatal Christmas.
Does that make better sense? (I spent a lot of time with my brain & my metabolism in the different time zones yesterday & I'm not sure I'm fully back in synch!)0 -
Oh! I think its *my* brain that was out of synch, sorry DfV, I came back online and read your original post, and that made complete sense too, as well as your explanation! Dear me prepping for Christmas, yes.
Not started that yet - but I just had my supermarket delivery, and I may have doubled my olive stash
and added to stashes of toilet paper, pesto, and washing machine liquid. I'm experimenting with which pickled onions are best, the own brand seem to change all the time at every supermarket. 2023: the year I get to buy a car0
