Was going to worm both ponies this morning....but... I can't get the top off the wormer :rotfl: It is a very small screw cap.
Any ideas ???

A pair of these.


I've heard it called overkill before, but they've always worked for me.

I was going to say pliers. Or teeth.

Teeth were my first thought too. But I'm not sure you want to even get a taste of the contents...

Hope you managed to open the small screw cap.

If so, how did you manage. If not, was thinking of jamming in door and turning the tube/tin you were trying to open instead of the cap.

Running under hot water?

Very nice but expensive weekend. Started with a pals night out on Friday to celebrate a birthday, followed by a lovely concert on Saturday night where to my great joy I heard an instrument I'd never heard of before. For the musically minded it was a theorbe. Delightful contempory sound yet it and the music was from the 1600s. Followed by a day at the local point to point yesterday where in a very non MSE style I gambled on the horses and lost.
As my syndicate horse failed to complete his race it was a gloriously non MSE way to spend the day. I errr might have forgotten to mention in a rash moment I signed up to a racing syndicate :rotfl: This is so non MSE I am both laughing and hanging my head. I would try and justify it ....but ... I can't other than to say I always said if I won the lottery I would buy a jump race horse and as I don't do the lottery that was never going to happen. Then one day a friend said he was setting up a syndicate to cover the training costs of his horse and ....well .... I found myself agreeing. I got to stand in the paddock and chat at least although it being a point to point the posh frock and kitten heels and hat were left at home :rotfl:

I love that, Watty! The point of moneysaving ways is to enhance our life - if there's never anything to enhance, why bother? You were around friends and lovely horses for a day

I love this forum.... I fess up to a completely daft spend and am encouraged and now it seems a totally sensible thing to be a part owner of a racehorse

It *can* go too far, but *you* didn't. Horses are a long term love for you, you were with friends. I think I'm quite affected by the Kon Marie thread on here, in Old Style - "does it bring you joy", all of that. And the racehorse did, and you didn't bankrupt yourself or go on a binge ... I still like it
