    I've been Money Tipped!
    edited 2 January 2012 at 9:54PM
    Have to say, with so many nice horses needing homes with no money changing hands atm it would have to be a very serious proposition for me to buy. I have been looking for a couple of years now for one/two of a particular type of mare to buy, no rush for me. in the next couple of years if I haven't found one and we are ok with money I will do exactly as alfe has done, now both our girls have retired its a bit bleak. Dh and my dad would like to find a ride and drive to share, but we all want different things from them. dh and dad would quite like a fresian though....

    We had a terrific thunder & lightening storm - so Alfie wizarded that up talking about it.

    rhiwfield do you know that auctions are more addictive than crack cocaine? I'm glad that I moved well away from them - not, I do miss an auction. I've been snooping about thinking of alternatives to ebay, but I haven't found owt that looks as busy so therefore as successful. I tried to take photos but the cameras flat again. I have so much stuff in the shed I really can't buy anything until I can move about without tripping over something. Must get listing.

    I joined a social network site coz someone nagged me to but it's not my thing - loads of Nigerians want to be my friend for some reason...............

    I've been disconnecting the router all day when the violent hail showers hit, expecting that thunderclap :(

    Yes, auctions are addictive, but as we end up ahead financially its a pretty easy addiction to afford :)

    Alfie, seriously impressive cars! Hope you get a fortune for them!

    I would like a mother daughters share. Plus living in ther middle of nowhere I would prefer the hoss to be on my own territory. Having had grazing problems in the past, hence why I had to get rid of my riding horse. Luckily kind farmer let my old horse (God bless him) have another summer before he went over the bridge.

    I would love to own a horse again but I just don't have the disposable cash atm. After a hideous loan experience in the past I would never go down that route again but I know lots of people find this an ideal way to have a horse.

    We do seem to hit this thunder hail stone snow thing - did last year too - good to hear it's not just here that it's happening in a way.

    Those cars are worth a fortune according to Mr Choille who likes those things.

    I do envy you being able to do the auctions. We do have one that doubles as a cattlle mart & although it's across country we could go & I probably will start doing now my appetites been re-whetted - so your fault rhiwfield for leading me off the straight & narrow.
