    Hi Piquant!

    Fab thread and am really with you on the whole horrid boss thing.

    I have just been made redundant and its a pig. Really worried about maybe having to sell the house or even my horse! Hope it won't come to that.

    Just wanted to let you know that your thread has brightened my day.

    Hello hello - waving very excitedly! another horse person or centaur as my youngest son so flatteringly calls us!

    Please come back, tell me about you and your horse, it's quite a wildlife sanctuary here. There's Fay with dogs and is a plantswoman, hamster, who is wildlife, lucielle, cook and centaur! Dragon....speaks for herself! and many other delightful folk!

    I think that a stone in a week seems perfectly reasonable - love the reference to the nimble advert - am tired and away to my bed as flying just tires me out - a whole 30 minutes on a plane, no stamina me.

    Lovely to walk around and see a river and trees today - we have no rivers no real big trees - but my word what a lot of litter there is in the world blowing about. Had a lovely walk through Marks and spencers as well - too much of everything to look at so no purchases made.

    Hope the idiot boss isn't being his usual idiot self today x

    Good to see you back, missed you! Glad you're all tree'd out! and not even tempted by M&S - obviously you have a willpower of solid steel!

    It would be a very [STRIKE]foolish[/STRIKE] brave hamster to take a dragon in hand!:rotfl: But I've noticed our hamster is very brave and this willingness to sponsor our diets is very endearing :D

    How are you dearest Dragon? apart from the minor weight hiccup of course. Is Doctor Dragon settling into his new job?

    Ah no I am afraid not I had no room in suitcase :D because it was full of samples for the other student in my office.

    Waves back - missed normal communication.

    Maybe we need to put £1 per lb into a sealed pot for our diet/weightloss challenge.
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
