Yes we do. 36 tonne of sand is hard to imagin  for some. I use about 10 or more of mulch a year but it is much lighter than sand. A tonne  of water is not much. A tonne of feathers is a lot . Give us a pic please. A tonne is a tonne it all weighs the same. A cubic metre of sand is a few shovel fulls . How many shovel fulls is a tonne of sand?

Spotty Horse is probably happy too. He is a very funny equine. I would love to shake hooves.

Nikkit, you have spoiled spotty horses fun.
I'm glad you are having the sand spread. It would be a lot to do yourself.

After seeing one of the girls with one of these at the forumfest, CC bought us both one today at the airport before she left.  Very handy gadget.

Domed cake pop stand



X 2

ARGHHH!!!  Email from fishpond to say they can't get it from the supplier  >:(  this has happened 3 times now, purchasing through them, then they cancel the order....won't bother again....(I did purchase one from eBay, but was more expensive :-X).....not holding much hope for getting the cupcake courier now  :-\.  The Aussie sellers whom I originally purchased it from, have disappeared...and it looks like it has been sold to the U.S. now  :(...it's almost double the price as well  >:(

Gert - it is a heck of a lot of shovel fulls! I paid the guy to spread it with his bobcat. Much easier - for me  ;D

This morning was utter bliss, no smelly slop to skid in, none up my legs and in my wellies and 2 happy horses playing over the fence.

Here's my spunky spotty horse in one yard. He'd been in and rolled in his very expensive sand pit, had a good sniff and walked out.

Thought I was going to be able to walk out of the bookshop without a purchase, but alas I saw Sally Wise's book "The Small Kitchen" (recipes for cooking for one or two).

I have that book CP, Chookie gave it to me when I was over there recently.  Been too busy to read my new books and magazines since the forumfest - they are piling up on my bedside table so I need to have some early nights soon.

Have been having fun making pizzas with my Pizza Oven.  Obviously HAD to buy Pete Evans Pizza book to go with it!  Thanks girls for pointing out how wonderful this appliance is.

Great news Kezza...I think it would be the 2nd most used appliance I have.  I would replace it tomorrow if it died on me.
I too have the Pete Evans book....still haven't really looked at yet  :-[
