I buy my wine from a wine club,  Our wine rack holds 16 bottles and there is usually a carton in the spare room, I start to panic when the last carton gets opened  :D :D :D
Um.... My wine racks hold over 100 bottles and it's more than half full, but I still keep buying wine! I think I might have a problem....
Mind you, a lot of the wine is quite old & I'm too scared to open it in case it's turned into vinegar!

You haven't stabbed yourself again have you :o
I could do with a wine tonight  too, as everything has taken a lot longer than it should have and we have only just eaten  >:(
Can't have wine though as I'm doing dry July (only one week to go!) ;D
On a positive note, I've used up a tin of coconut milk and a packet of pork from the freezer, and there are fresh rolls for lunches tomorrow

We will buy wine from anyone who will deliver  it up here for nothing!

Glad to hear it. It's almost 9.30 and I've just finished the dishes and have collapsed on the couch. Aaah

Haha that is exactly us with the cartons in the spare room! Under the bed when I'm being tidy.
We are practically on first name terms and chatty with the wine delivery people here haha!  Love Dan as well!!  Hate nuisance sales calls on the phone EXCEPT those lovely people at the wine clubs ....

Just ordered another case - the cellarmasters people keep sending me discount vouchers, and I can't resist a bargain! Will have to have a few dinner parties I think....

It's very disturbing to have an empty space in the wine rack or the wine fridge for that matter :)

The grass fed I've bought is a bit more expensive than Hally's price per kg isnt it.  Was yours prepacked and delivered to your door too Hally? and how many kilos did you buy???  Now to find some free range chicken bulk buy places. 

Sorry Jude missed this.
My side of beef was about 110kg! It is Amelia Park Beef from the south west of WA. It is packed, weighed & labelled. I pick it up, no delivery.
I share the beef with a friend :)
I also bought a side of pork & chicken breasts.

H :)

So far I have spent $77.12 all from aussie farmers as have not been to the shops. Over $50 on fruit & veg this week. I will need to go to the shops today or tomorrow, we are out of english breakfast tea.
