    Bet he looks great.
    Friend round today with seemingly intransigent problems.

    Not sure how to spell that.

    Today i am grateful for
    * lift shared with DH saved £12
    * puppylove is lying on the floor singing to me. Properly comical.
    *hump day tomorrow already
    * we are going to start off some homebrew tonight
    * Robinsons actually sent the right stuff. And my replacement boots arrived.

    The evening's work


  • Hi Alchemilla,

    Well done on the lift share :) Petrol spends are a necessity i think as travel expenses to work / supermarket when buying stuff it would be impractical to carry home so unavoidable really.

    Glad to hear you got the right items from your order :T

    Hmm home brew :D i'm still clearing to space for mine :cool:

    If I can clear a pound from the sale of the sachet of oak chips which I have been doing then £1.30 a bottle.

    Confessing £62 PC membership.
  • Looks like a lot of home brew. Dry January will soon seem like a distant memory.....

    Haha hope so! New teatowels.

    Lift shared again. £12 saved. Ponyplops in at nights now because of the mud. I put food in a bowl, open the gate and she puts herself in the stable.

    Jolly day at work.

    Today I am grateful for
    *cheap teatowels!
    * a job I mostly enjoy
    * a roaring fire
    * mum taking DD2 to Rainbows
    * my favorite timetable day tomorrow.

    Where did the teatowels come from Alchemilla? Ours are decidedly on the 'eww - that smells cheesy!' leg of their life :rotfl:
