I have 350 to last me and dd (2) until 29th of august. This is for food and household essentials like washing tablets, dishwater tablets, shampoo etc only. I think this is incredibly difficult to do? Am I going wrong somewhere? I can’t understand how this is meant to last us until then.

Some woods absolutely DO have anti bacterial properties

Interesting, when was the last time you went for a walk in the woods? Woods that are famously not buried 10m deep in old fallen branches and trees, due to the biodegradable nature of wood, in other words, due to the way it is so easily broken down by bacteria and fungi....

Wood's resistance to bacteria is why woodlands need a huge suite of lichens and mycorrhiza and macrofungi and insects and other microfauna to break down the dead wood. And why in turn they are good habitats for birds.

I do the Microsoft rewards it takes a while to collect the points, but I have £30-£40 that I can use for ecards for money off amazon or supermarket shops.

You’ve probably been frittering your money away on treats and convenience food. Plan your meals for seven days making sure that three main meals are double/ triple quantities so that you can pop them in the freezer for those days when you don’t have time to cook.

This is an opportunity.

Buy white flour, plain flour, self raising flour, and a spice set. Then you can make lots of meals. I made a post with the recipes I want to make in my post about recipes.
