    Well the boys (horses) have got 2 shiny new pairs of shoes each so £63 paid out. Hopefully next time it will be slightly cheaper as 1 will have a complete new set instead of just 2. The other only has 2 anyway. £324.60 paid off the load today so only another million, zillion payments to go!!! Worked for an hour today but I had already got the cash for it. Working tomorrow which is good as I owe my Avon account £40 from paying for the boys shoes. Absolutely poured it down today, got soaked just putting the horses back in the field.
    Got tonnes of washing to do as the new kitten keeps peeing on the chair cushions and in 1 of the children's drawers. Any tips on how to stop it greatly appreciated, because telling the children to keep their bedroom doors shut seems to be beyond them!!!!!!

    Well did a couple of hours work. Money earned will pay for the big ones school dinners next week. Paid £205 in total off a couple of cc. We have 1 card that has £800 I am desperate to pay this off before Christmas, every time I think of a cunning plan something comes along and scuppers it. The trouble is this card is due for payment with another one which has a really high min payt and that takes most of that weeks wages. Well got a couple of hours work in the morning which will hopefully pay for the little ones school dinners then any more earnings will go towards the horses keep. Off to a school family fun night. Yippee!

    Well not really going to play with it until next year. Family fun night was ok our team managed to score 45/100 on the pop quiz slightly worse than last year. The fish and chip supper was very greasy and I think that was why dd2 woke us up at half past midnight to tell us she had been sick! So lots of washing today.
    Been to work and now able to pay for the littles ones dinner money next week. Hopefully going to a bbq tonight, not sure how good the weather is going to be.

    BBQ was postponed for another day. Worked Sunday and this morning. Not done very much. Made a several batches of scones some raisin and some fruit ones, the plan was to freeze some but I don't think they are going to make it that far. Made Jambalya for tea using up some left over roast lamb and a chicken breast. DD1 and dd2 have been to football training which they enjoyed. Hoping to go and ride tomorrow after work if weather is nice.

    Been to work. Just got a new quote for horse ins for the young one and saved £60. Now I have booked 4 rugs to be washed, re-proofed and 2 need repairing!!!! Hear a joke today which I thought I would share with you. School teacher to small boy "what do you call a group of cows?"
    "oh that would be a herd miss"
    "well done, what do you call a group of sea gulls?"
    "errrm a flock Miss"
    "Brilliant. What do you call a collection of crabs?"
    "Ah Miss that would be a dose!"

    Made a total payment of £100.17 to 2 credit cards. Looks like this months shopping budget is not going to last as I had a massive Asda order delivered total spend so far is £332.35 leaving me with the grand sum of £3.65 until the 31st. Lets hope it will be the middle of August before I have to order again and then preferably after we get back from London.
    Done 6.5 hours at work today and in for a couple of hours tomorrow and probably on Sunday. Will have to take the children with me which is not good, for me or for them. Had promised a friend that she and her son could go riding on Sunday so that might have to be cancelled. Managed to change ohs jeans so got 2 pairs for £8. Hope you all have a good weekend.

    Worked 9 hours on Sunday, 6 yesterday and 3 today and hopefully working Thursday night. Got to go and deliver Avon tonight then I have got that out of the way. The children break up tomorrow, oh is taking the day off work so he can go to ds1 service and I will be going to ds2 service. We are thinking about having lunch together. Rode my horse yesterday and today, had a good couple of canters and it felt soooo good. Not rode for a couple of weeks my butt is going to kill me tomorrow!! Should be going again on Thursday and my friend and her son will be coming. Thats all for now.
