Preparing for winter III

Hehe! tugrin you may not actually be that far from me, though East Anglia is a rather large area hehe! He said he's actually drive along the byway, so that's a big help, then we can just pile the hay into the car 2 bales at a time and ferry it down the field.

Horses leave hoofprints on your heart as they say, I doubt anyone ever really 'recovers' from them

Meant to add earlier but forgot ..... folding snow shovel for car arrived and I'm pretty impressed as it does appear to be reasonably strong once it's all tightened up.

Do you mind sharing where you got your snow shovel from? I really need to get one for my car, got caught out last year

Thanks.

I got the folding one on e*bay - it's like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Emergency-Folding-Snow-Shovel-Camping-Digging-Spade-/130533931172?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e646db8a4 (:eek: that's a weird link, hope it works ..... there are some cheaper ones but thought this one looked reasonably sturdy).

The "proper" one for the house, I got on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-GT30-Square-Mouth-Shovel/dp/B000LFU08Q/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1317747641&sr=8-4 (:eek: they've nearly doubled in price in the few short weeks since I got mine)....



Thanks for the suggestions on milk...

Think I'm going to take Frugal's advice and try a few before I wade in any buy a load. Things seems to have moved on with choice (thank goodness) - I've heard of rice milk etc but can't get it around here.

A trip to the "big supermarket in town" will be needed as very little choice here but probably well worth it in the long run.:D I did try Soya a long time ago (and didn't like it) but I probably used it for coffee which may explain a lot!

Saw some of these in tesco for £1.50 this morning.

check the discount vouchers thread there was a £1.00 off Airwick voucher kicking about and some were down to £1.50 so i managed to get two candles for 50p each!!!

also it may be worth checking T's for 1hr battery charger with 4 batteries and also a handy incar charger with it too - selling for £2.00, got two today (there is a similar one at £13 so make sure you get the right one)

It is and yes most people who own horses are not the sloaney rich types just ordinary people who are a bit broke but have a unique affinity with these wonderful creatures. I wouldn't be without my two either and everytime I hear the biggest one call to me first thing in the morning when he hears my footsteps it just makes my day. If DH walks down not a shout, me big neighs and kicks on his door or gate!! I affectionately refer to them as my fag and beer money!!
