I thought I'd try milk with the drip machine tonight and bought a pint of regular instead of my semi-skimmed. Quite frankly my efforts were rubbish and I think a day or two away from the machine won't hurt and next time I play I'll try to do it when I've plenty of time instead of my usual rushing.
I might have the weekend free although if the weather is nice I shall wander off on Saturday and have baby pics to do on Sunday. Who knows, maybe I'll find a slot to play with the drips sometime.......
