Oooh we like horsey folk.

I am not spending another penny on my horse. Unless its REALLY necessary.

That's what I have to keep telling myself - esp as the lovely new shiny Derby House catalogue landed at home this morning.

We have a herd!!!! Welcome clip clop - details please on your four legged debt!

Waving at Penguin (still no emoticons)38! that is an amazing age, hopefully the Captain goes on to that and beyond, he's only 24, going on 3....

Hello to the rest of the herd too, especially to our little horsey hamster!

I have to admit to being a bit fed up about giving up some Easter leave, I'll get a couple of days, but apparently no-one hosts a conference like me....Lazy git is afraid he'll make a fool of himself in public. I'm going to take the week of the May bank holiday instead.

Hamster, think your idea of clearing a bit of patio is a good one. I won't be able to hold my head up on Fay's thread unless I have at least one tomato!

Have worked out what's happening with signature blocks and emoticons, it's a security update to Firefox! Haven't done the update at home and it all works fine. I just need to wait for the fix to the update....

I'm telling myself the same thing, but lucielle's made me want a new turnout rug for the Captain. I have to keep reminding myself about the bit of house that's fallen down and needs mending....

Yep another horsey debt ridden person here! Who has just succumbed to another rug! Tell us more about your hairy beast, I'm sure Piq won't mind.

Hi all,

new rug, now that sounds like a good idea well we do need one, maybe i will just have a look. my neddy is 16.2, grey irish sports lovely in too many ways to part with, sightly scatty tendencies but that makes it all more fun...

Have so far managed not tp spend any money today on track for my first really NSD...

How does everyone else cope with the excitement of seeing all the lovely new things in the horsey catalogues????

Perhaps the new rug for Captain can be used to temporarily "cover" the bit of house that is self demolishing (you know to keep it clean, warm and dry as its important as the house feels loved and well cared for) and then once fixed the turnout rug can be then used in its proper right?

My nsd has been scuppered. There's a sweepstake for the Grand National and I felt obliged to join in. Unfortunately, it seems to be a death sentence for any horse I back, so I'll feel guilty tomorrow evening...

I keep telling myself that the Captain had 14 rugs at the last count and my house is falling down!!

I have a quick look through - usually whilst in the bath, and then it gets put straight in the bin.

Quick look at my credit card debt is normally enough to make me NOT spend. Amazing how quickly a reality check can INSTANTLY KILL the longing for more horsey bits and bobs.

Good idea!!! Wish the cost of the repair was as cheap as a rug, somehow I suspect it's going to be the price of many rugs! I really must phone up and get someone out to do an estimate. Why do these things happen just as you think you've got your spending under control??
