RE: What have done towards your prep?
I bought myself another calor gas heater the other day. Got 2 full sized ones aswell as some smaller camping ones that take the gas cartridges. Used sparingly, we should be able to stay warm for a little while. Plus the bottles can be used on my cooker aswell.
I also bought 2 2nd hand greenhouses off gumtree. £60 for the pair. 1 going in the garden & 1 going at the allotment.

More garden clearing, and have banned the wife from eating anything in my cache that's still to be finished and buried.
