    But, if you had booked early and saved 10%, it would have tipped it down with rain, and you would have either cancelled the day but been cross because you had spent money on tickets you weren't going to use, or you would have felt that you HAVE to go because you had paid already, so you would go, get wet, get grumpy, come home and wish you hadn't been!

    So 10% is nothing in that situation really!! Enjoy your day x

    Had a great time Beanie, thanks. Watched the neddies doing their show jumping, saw a friend win his class with his Suffolk and had a plod round. Finishing off the last of the holiday booze at the mo before I head back to work tomorrow. Think tea will be whatever you can find to eat affair. I have found the peanuts not good for the waistline but ah well!

    Done my stint at work and just scoffed some lunch. OH has taken the chaps for their school shoes. On the last phone call he had forgotten the trainers so was on his way back in. Honestly, do men ever listen properly?-and can they think about more than 2 things at once?

    I am thinking about trying to make a rota for keeping on top of the cleaning. Noe I have managed to get it bottomed beofre going on holiday it would be great to maintain it. Trouble is I'm such a lazy git, that it sounds good in theory, practice could well be very different.
