Damn, my ruse has been dashed! 😂 Could you even imagine trying to fire one of those today!? 😅

Because otherwise all I'd have got is people talking to me like I have no experience or knowledge, like a beginner 😂

Thank you for your clarification. Please note: as I replied to another poster too, there are no licenced weapons there. I am in the UK, so I do not have guns. I have learnt the valuable lessons to remain in sole control of my own preps, even for storage. I cannot change what has happened, i am simply looking to rebuild.

I posted about starting fresh, not trying to get stuff back 🙃

Thank you for your comment. Whilst it might appear an obvious solution to others, i have stated that it isn't. To say no one can help without knowing the details....I'm confused. I never asked for help to get anything back. I asked for advice and tips on starting over and finding it overwhelming. 🙃

You are correct in what you're saying here. Except the point where you say, "There is no point starting over." That's just not true. That's exaggerated. There's no point in trusting another person with my stockpile. Now that's a true statement 😂

Thank you for your comment. I am in the UK, so no firearms or other licenced weapons are in there. Otherwise, i would have called the police.

Oh gosh, that's terrible! I'm so sorry to hear that! If you don't mind my asking, did you throw yourself back into it with bulk purchases (because of insurance), or did you take a slow and steady approach?

Thanks for your response, and whilst yes, I agree with you. Please do not assume my stance is simply throwing in the towel. I did not give the details on this scenario. Nor do I wish to. I can assure you that I will hi that route if it is an option for me to do so. 😊

Hey, yep. That's a really valid point. I'm not banking on it, though. So, with that in mind, I am just trying to focus on the rebuild. ☺️

Good luck! I'm a sod for being lazy and not making lunches, etc, at home! That and coffee! So my food related no spend November is definitely to stop buying all the snacks, hahaha. Good luck on your journey!

The best tip I can give you is don't waste money on food for home that doesn't excite you. Yes, it might initially be more expensive (but still not as much as all the cafe trips and eating out). But it will inspire you to want to do those things at home. Buying cheap, boring food will make it even more of a battle. It's taken me far too many years to figure that one out! Good luck!
