Want a tip? Never go to stables! Instead ask around for anyone with a pony or child friendly horse near you. They are ALWAYS skint and usually more than happy to give a wee lesson or a pony trek once a week for a few quid. Especially look for those with little ponies and older kids, chances are they bought the pony for the kids who outgrew it but tehy keep the pony cos it's cheap to feed and they loves it.

*tia, who is being talked into getting a wee welshie for the kids by her Dad who allready has a horse of his own and is skint*:rotfl:

missed the original quote but has your LO ever sat in a horse?, DDasked for ages and took her to a school fete that had pony rides......., as soon as she sat on small horse she cried to get off........deleted stables no. from phone........she wanted to do it but didnt realise how high it was i wanted to cry as she looked so scared!!!!!

Should be easy enough to do yourself. The problem comes when you try to manoeuvre it into position as they can weigh a ton so be careful if you do try it alone.

I plumbed MY washer in myself...and I feel awful because I didn't think to put my washer tip on - when moving a washer - on vinyl or tiles squirt washing up liquid under the feet - it will glide into position much more easily and without tearing the vinyl if you are careful. Unlike oil it is water soluble and will mop up...

Sarah - bored by any chance? Or just impressed by Soappie - Action Flylady :rotfl:

I must be the only one who sits up until early hours Christmas eve, well actually Christmas morning, wrapping stuff up :rotfl:

You're not alone Lil-me - that's my usual occupation late on Christmas Eve - wrapping...

Just put the washing machine on a quick cycle with nothing it - the drum just doesn't want to go round at all. Hey ho. Think I might just nip down the nearby retail park and see what deals they have on.

at the risk of getting it wrong again...:p... have you looked at the belt? I presume you have soappie, coz you're not as dumb as me, but just thought I'd ask - if not, it could be the bearings as that's what went on mine...

Hi

I have wrapped about half of what i have so far. Ds1 and SDs helped me. All wrapped ones are now in one cupboard and the unwrapped ones are in another. I just need to find a home for all the stuff i slung on the bed:rolleyes: and update my list.

Lil-me i usually wait until christmas eve to wrap but it always stresses me out too much:o . Last year i wrapped everything a couple of days before christmas and found it a lot less stressful. This year i want it all done before December.

That's me - church, kids to bed, wine out start the wrapping and place under the tree as you go. I really am last minute lil.

I spent one Christmas eve..after I'd been to the pub - icing the cake...you could tell, too :rotfl:

I have now had TWO presents given to me - one by the recipient, one by wife of the recipient to wrap and give back. All I have to do is shell out the moola. Now what does THAT tell you?

Mind you one year MIL gave me the money to get the kids presents. I did...and I wrapped them and put them with our gifts (as if from FC). I told OH I was happy to do the shopping BUT I would put the gift with the rest of the stash. She never asked me to do it again. There was (and is) NO REASON why she cannot do her own shopping...just fluffing idle!
