    Am clearly losing the plot...thought home brew was some huge bargin pot of shower gel :rotfl:

    Love the tea towels!
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    One of the barrels didnt start fermenting. Not having a fish tank heater i got it going with a cunning stonehenge of coffee mugs filled with boiling water. Ha!

    Today i am grateful for
    * the end of dry January tomorrow
    * I managed to get 150 books marked this week
    * I am not having a workplace meltdown like so many of us
    * tomorrow is Friiiidaaaayyyy. Probably.
    *Breaking bad

    Well DH took DD1 out on ponyplops with no disasters. Made cookies did a thousand loads of washing and the grocery shopping. Impressed people in the vets with puppylove and her ability to take worming pills as though they are dog treats.
    Oh and £6 on the magic mould spray.

    just caught up on your week. Hope the end of dry january was celebrated in suitable style. :eek: to the oil emergency. Hope you don't have too long a wait for new supplies and that there's no damage done.
    know thyself
    Nid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus...
  • Hi Alchemilla - i also really hope that the oil is sorted out quickly and hasn't impacted on anything else x
