Stocking up

[Joan]

Seed potatoes are apparently in short stock this year, I haven't yet looked in the garden centre.

Just to make sure I do stay somewhat paranoid I'm listening to 1984.

After my week without hot water, I've stocked up on baby wipes, so useful when you can't have a shower.

I also need to go through my first aid kit still if anything is close to being out of date. Its the one I keep in the car. I did restock the car sweet bag though! I don't tend to keep food in the car, but do like to keep some mints or sweets there as a just in case.

I need to sort out my first aid kit too as I found out last night with a bloody mess!!

 

[Joan]

Ordered a new at home first aid kit.

Decided that by next winter I want to get a few more things sorted.

Car:
An automatic type pump, one that you plug it and it pumps them up.

A battery starter kit, bit more expensive but jump starting a car relies on someone else being around and with this I could do it myself.

De-icer/washer fluid/oil, get extras of the essentials.

Home:

More base layer type of tops, more thermals

New hot water bottles, I'd like a new long one and a neck one.

Blankets sorted out, and if possible to get wool/natural fibres ones.

 

[Joan]

Had a look through, and I also need to stock up on, cold and flu meds, antihistamines and antacids

 

[Joan]

My surveys paid out so I'm all stocked up on fans! I know it's freezing now, but they're always cheaper to get in the winter. Got 2 usb ones, a neck one and a desk one that also has lights on it. So extra lights if we do have a power cut too.

 

[Joan]

Had an email from national grid about preparing for power cuts, and then all the talk about 72 hour preparedness. So yeah, I'm back thinking about all that.

 

[Joan]

The news is not making me less anxious, and I barely read or listen to it.

So I've got my power bank on charge, and bought another candle! Well I also bought more cans of tuna and other stuff, so at least I can have some odd sandwiches if the power does go out.

Water is an issue though, I do have water bottles in the fridge, but it's storing water that's the problem.

I know it's quite scary whats going on in the world.

 

[Joan]

Can someone remind me not to buy more tuna, because I had forgotten that I had already bought a 4 pack, so bought another 4 pack!

I know my biggest issue is keeping on top of the cleaning. If we had a severe power cut then I've got to navigate the floordrobe and kitchen in the dark!
