  • Naughty ponies! They always test us the most when we're at our most exhausted! Mine decides that he must walk in from the field like a slug when he knows I'm in a rush! Drives me bonkers! :p

    How did you get started on the home brew? Did you just get a kit and get going? How much cheaper does it work out? Not tried it before but would like to have a go.

    I went to the home brew shop and the guy told me what i needed.

    Basically a fermenter, siphon tube, air lock, corks and a corker.

    I recommend Beaverdale kits and I am not on comission!!

    Works out at 1.50 a bottle. Cheaper if you use a cheaper kit.
    I use 30 bottle kits.

    Good luck

    Gosh thanks. Likewise...being in SMT and keeping sane!!

    On the topic of work, leading a team on a task with no brief. My colleague was so frustrated she gripped her arm so hard it bled.

    Please send positive vibes for DH and his job application he has just pinged.

    We broke down in the new to us car today but it was just the battery. £60.

    Did umbrella training with pony. Just so funny seeing the look on her face she is such a baby she was fascinated by the brolly DD held up, she couldnt believe that such a thing existed. Funny beast.

    Today I am grateful for

    * breaking down at the garage round the corner from school
    * we didn't get rained on
    * fudge
    * getting to bed by ten yesterday
    * lift sharing with DH.
