    The lovely weather seems to mean I don't post as much as I do when it's miserable. Between the horse and the garden there's not enough time in the day to play on the computer.

    I need to update my signature, will do that in a minute. Other than that I've paid £150 to natwest and £100 to egg. I'm going to pay off egg first, I think as it frees up more money a month once it's cleared. It's a loan at £322 a month whereas natwest is a credit card and is £84 a month minimum payment. They're both at a similar total and only a couple of interest points apart. I'm starting it off come payday.

    The Captain has destroyed three fence posts, his hay bar and rug rack. He has a large scratch on his bottom and insists on rubbing it on anything and everything. What was a large scratch is now an enormous bald patch - very attractive.....

    Good plan Piq - clear the biggies first and the rest will get easier, and how in the world has your Captain manage to demolish so much :eek:

    :rotfl::rotfl:Seem to be doing quite a lot of hanging off his nose recently! Had to lead him past a lot of youths revving their motor bikes on Sunday. The Captain did a great impression of a giraffe... I'm not surprised he was scared, so was I! Strange how menacing a group of youths can be, makes you feel very vunerable. Especially with a huge prancing horse dancing along side you.

    I'm hoping it's cleared up now, the itching that is:rotfl: He's been bathed (another hang off his nose experience) and covered in wound cream. The fence is still up, so hopefully the itching has stopped.

    Unfortunately, the Captain just jumps the electric fence if he sees something more interesting elsewhere. A long time ago he jumped the fence, swam across a small lake, wearing his New Zealand rug! All for some interesting grass on the other side....

    Just paid out another £60 for a new set of shoes.
