Thanks Lois and Tilly.

It is rarely the kids that try one's patience, but the adults!

Goodish day but someone at work is behaving very oddly around me, sort of passive aggressive.

I'll be worried the day my lovely colleagues *stop* being passive aggressive!

Rest and relax time, you've earned it

'Callow yoof' - you have a way with words missus.

Ps. I've started tweaking HB recipes, like you without the oak chips.

Boo to the ultrasound, but I guess they're a necessary evil ... hope all turns out well.

Congrats on getting to the end of term ... hope you enjoy plenty of sleep, sunshine and Ponyplops moments!

Thanks chaps.
E I read about your twerking. I mean tweaking. I have gone the other way and added extra water since I think our wine was too srong to start with.

Habi ponyplops excelled herself yesterday by licking the wing mirror of a car as it went past on one of our tiny lanes. Guess she is not scared of cars.

Name and shame time.

Tesco van tried to thunder past us at a ridiculous speed. Eleven year old girl on a pony. Both wearing hi vis in daylight. Tiny country lane. Pony was unsettled by his speed and instead of slowing down he tried to squeeze past. Only when I stood in the road and blocked his path did he slow down at all.

Shame on Tesco for not training their drivers better and for (as I understand it) setting them amazonesque time targets. Could have been a grave injury or fatality.

In other news...free listing weekend. Just relisted 19 items.

If you have time, do look at a youtube video called "That's not my teacher'

Alchemilla

I have 21 items listed now. I cannot be accused of letting free listing pass me by.

DH spent £11 with Mr S.

Hope all turns out well after your ultrasound x

What a horrid delivery driver Very glad he didn't manage to cause something terrible to happen. Have you complained to Tesco?

P.S. Thanks for your diary, I've been lurking around for a while and it's diaries like yours that have really inspired me to knuckle down with my own MFW-ness xx

Alchemilla

Thanks Jasmine.
I havent complained. Mainly because I think it is the company's systems that are the root of the problem.

You are very kind. I am afraid I am a rank amateur compared with most here.

Confessing £79 on wine kits. Before anyone tells me off, we haven't finished the last lot yet!!

And £15 on an overtheshoulderboulderholder.

That is quite a pricey one, hope it holds well!

Alchemilla

It should do with the engineering that has gone into it!

Sounds like a pedigree sheepdog version to me!

Glad all turned out well despite efforts of Tosco boy racer. Love the idea of Ponyplops licking mirrors on outings, sounds more like that cartoon pony every day!
