Made it until 9 pm last night.

All go at work and the saddle hunt continues apace.
Pony being rested as saddle bothering her. She has gone walkies with the dog.

Today I am grateful for
* my children
* prayer group
* teachers with a real commitment to the job
* bbc bitesize!
* fermentation...

Home brewing is really very little faff. I have tried doing it properly but I see no difference between that and shoving it in a fermenter and then syphoning it straight off the yeast when done.

I have to say you are giving me ideas The main problem for me is getting regular sized bottles - it's probably cheapest to buy empty ones? I had told myself that I could just drink my way to a decent stash, but that's probably negative behaviour :rotfl:

You could raid the recycling boxes on recycle day?

Some labels soak off better than others or you can buy new empty ones quite cheaply.

I live in a built up area near the city centre - we just get giant communal wheeled bins about 6' high - not risking my neck raiding those! I think I'll go for new empty for the sake of uniformity, not a high priority at this point tho (says he with an almost straight face)

Alchemilla

I see the problem. Think we got new ones for about 50p each. We have a mix of new and reused ones.

Alchemilla

oof! Stuffing knocked out of self by screaming brats at home and truculent idle yoof at work.

Guy is leaving our department after 8 months. Not cool.

Roll on Friday.

Today I am grateful for
* I havent had any tantrums today
* bbc bitesize
* i got to study "an inspector calls" while revising with my tutor group
* I still haven't had a tantrum
* I have nappies so I can de stink the baby.

Yikes :eek:

No idea how much pony stuff costs... is that really bad?

Alchemilla

We are planning to have her a looonnnnggg time so cost per wear should be ok.

Am I in denial!?
