Another small victory for my argument with the wife of advantages of prepping.

I think I'm slowly starting to talk her round.

That hurricane in New York helped a lot. I showed her the news articles of the shelves stripped bare in stores & of people scavenging in bins for food. This convinced her to let me buy a few extra bits to store.

Then our bit of cold weather meant I could get our calor gas heater & camping gaz heaters out to keep the mains gas usage down (we are on prepaid meters).

Then the carton of milk has helped a bit more. She has agreed to let me build a small storage area in the loft, obviously it's going to be larger than she agreed

Sadly it's the 1st thing she would check. But I like your way of thinking.
