This tablet is pissing me rite off!

Auto-correct is great isn't it I might give the shed a miss, stick the storage boxes in the loft & put a roll of loft insulation over them. Just wish I could get the wife more onboard. Still, storing a months worth of food that she tolerates is better than when I 1st set out prepping.
