Snugglepants thats the plan , Im just trying to figure how much I need to get a batch? I've a feeling DS and I are going to be in the woods quite a bit...I could double pick and freeze them until you come to bring me the strawberry wine, pack the dishwasher and meet the baby :DWhat an eventful week end it could be :beer:

Nooooo problemo I'll probably have at least a case of wine for you by then! Your strawberry wine bottle has been set aside, just waiting until nearer the time to do a special label! As for quantaties, "they" say up to 4lbs of (hulled) fruit. The two I've done so far (still fermenting) are the Berry Wine I sent you details about, and a second one that I did almost 4lbs of fruit for (strawberries, red grapes and plums, whizzed in blender). Both made TONS of "mush" as I call it which (for the first one so far) I've strained through a sieve after 7 days + (and it was SO CLEAR!! Like I's added finings!) then added just over 100g sugar to boiling water, cooled down, added, then put 1/3 tsp of Super Wine Yeast and 1/3 tsp of Yeast Nutrient to it - it's now bubbling away peacefully, will leave for a week and decide what to do then! Sorry a bit O/T, but it's stopping peeing on OV sticks, which is MSE when you come to think of it

Polka - definitely take a class - at the very least you'll have a new interest, and hopefully meet a whole lot of lovely people!
Twinkle - my vote's still for No. 80!

Thanks ladies -
Snuggles you'll have to email me a step by step of the sieving process your on about at what point does that happen. At any rate, Im absolutely shattered and I have a doctors appointment at 10am (have to go in and show Im still alive after a months worth of fluoxitine before they'll give me another month-despite taking it for two years...

Im off to bed-night everyone

Hello everyone, sorry I've not been around lately, I was away but even though I'm back I'm really busy. Not forgotten you all though, hope you're all well, hugs and sticky baby dust to everyone. xxx

*Tootles off to skim through thread...*

Ahh Emmzy, sorry to hear about the poor kitties, but glad you've got one that's doing so well! Are you going to keep him or find him another home when he's grown up?

Sorry I'm not voting Twinklie, only a flying visit for me tonight but I'm sure you'll get a lovely place and have a fantastic time. What a rubbish cycle buddy eh?!

snugglepants

Hi Gena, hows things with you? Where are you at in your cycle?

Oh my goodness, how many "celebrities" are announcing their pregnancies atm?! In the past DAY I've heard of - Tina Hobley (Holby City), Jennifer Ellison (Brookside?) and Celine Dion! (I know I'm missing at LEAST one happy announcement!) - and added to that, Real Life ones.......I'm not complaining though, really - we might one day be "one of those people"

twinklie

Tisk Gena you are rubbish! :rotfl:

Sorry for thread hogging but it is an important weekend for DH, so I want to get it right. On to day 2 of the wait for the cbfm...can't use it this cycle now though I don't think! Boo.... I'm gutted. I really wanted to play with it after what you were all saying. I feel like I'm missing out! Ha ha

Also, whomever said to take folic acid before bed is a genius. I've not felt sick once since I started doing that...and the horrible taste in my mouth has gone too! Thanks again!

We were going to keep her but I dont think we can afford it but OH is a bit upset by that I think my mum fell in love with her so maybe she will take her otherwise we'll find a way to keep her! Shes too cute!
