Coping ideas during energy crisis this winter. Please follow sensible safety or legal guidelines when using gas cylinders in the home. These are very small cylinders and one person who used this heater told me it was cheap to use. I am not sure which lamp this is, I got it off Amazon. The heater can also be bought in Amazon. At least with these you control how much you use and won't get a big bill. Read your meters at intervals to make sure they not using up much energy.
Don't forget hot water bottles this winter in the UK. The uncovered one is from Boots at £8 and the two covered ones are in Superdrug. There is a mini one at £5 and normal size one for £8. I have got the boots one. It seems like something for granny but when the need is there then why not make use of one this winter?

How to make passata
Giovanni Pilu and Marilyn Annecchini make passata every summer - enough for two and a half families for a whole year. They share their tips and a recipe with Justine Costigan.
Get as much knowledge as you can NOW from food growing and self sufficiency channels, YouTube, Tick Tock, books and blogs. Ask for a book on self sufficiency, veg gardening or food preservation for Christmas. We can not always rely on the internet being there because we don't know what might happen next.
So you need to write stuff down, have paper books at home and memorize information on these topics. That is what the word "prepping" means....being prepared and not relying on energy or food from cities and towns or even the internet being always available! Will you be able to afford to recharge your devices? We do not know in the UK how much they are going to charge us yet for gas/electric.

How to Make a Homemade Weed Killer
Recommended by my mom. This works extremely well, is non-toxic and there is very little chance of killing anything other than that to which it is directly applied.
Pour 1 gallon of white vinegar into a bucket. 5-percent household white vinegar is fine. It may take two or three days longer to kill the weeds with the lower concentration, but it does work.
Add 1 cup of table salt. Stir the solution with a long-handled spoon until all the salt dissolves completely.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of liquid dishwashing soap. The soap helps the vinegar and salt solution coat and adhere to the weeds.
Blend all thoroughly and then funnel the weed killer into a plastic spray bottle.

Britain’s pawnbrokers are booming
People can no longer afford to be proud
William Hogarth was no fan of pawnbroking. In his 1751 print Gin Lane, he portrayed a Mr Gripe seizing a saw from a carpenter and cooking pots from a housewife in exchange for cash they would fritter on cheap gin. In front of Gripe’s door, a dog and a starving boy gnaw on the same bone. “Of all the numerous receptacles for misery and distress with which the streets of London unhappily abound,” Charles Dickens wrote 84 years later, “there are, perhaps, none which present such striking scenes as the pawnbrokers’ shops.”

We need to recycle furniture as times are hard...and get used to buying second hand furniture and some second hand kitchenware and other items and start going to car boot sales. We have to stay positive and find solutions and this is one solution.
This is a big second hand warehouse in Dublin so am posting the link, if you happen to be in the area. Places like this will do good business now and actually it's quite retro and trendy....to get second hand stuff.

Two camping stoves you can use indoors this winter from Argos. The single one is £30 and the double one is £60. You might find these cheaper elsewhere. Follow safety procedures when using gas cylinders in the home.
