All housework done and washing - just finishing off the tumble drying! So should have all day tomorrow for the allotment

Car has now got a full MOT on it. but when I tried to drive it today the rear brakes stuck on ! I got them to release eventually but will have take it back to the garage on Monday as it looks like they have over adjusted something. Cars seem such a money pit am still considering selling it and joining the car club..might look on here and see if anyone has experience of them.

Bah! to naughty cars. What sort of things do you do in your riding lesson?

Thank you L & L-H

Riding lessons prior to yesterday were concentrating on getting my confidence back as I was actually petrified of even getting on! So just walk trot and canter with gradually sitting up and letting go of the saddle/neck strap/horse!!! With Angus yelling at me to stop wasting his time and marching after me with a lunge whip! We have practised some dressage tests to keep me focused on what I am doing too. Still it has worked really well and I can say as long as I am riding one of his horses I don't think of what disasters may happen to me anymore!

This week we have started to look at what is at the root of me losing my confidence. Basically I'm relying on my hands - probably as a means to balance myself. So today i had to ride with just the outside rein and let go of the other one. Quite an eye opener! Could do it in one direction and not the other!

To be honest I don't think my riding will really improve until I a)lose some weight b) get alot fitter c) ride more frequently. But that will have to wait for the time being!

Can hear the students are up so better show my face to the world

I think I fall into your a,b,c category. I have a real mental block with my weight, I know I need to lose it, I know what I have to do yet I cannot seem to implment it.

I know where you are coming from L. But i think we can only concentrate on so many things at once and weight loss is a job in itself! you have Family, work, studying and your new business not to mention the debt busting! one day the time will be right and we both will be able to concentrate on weight loss and we will succeed!

Lovely day at the allotment - it seems to have been a good year for runner beans LOL!

Popped up to the stables and watched DD have a lesson - she has really improved over the last few months and rides my horse much better than me or not sure which!

We are now having a thunder storm - so the allotment is getting a free watering

another day another dollar ...Almost got my 7th nsd but student told me it was his 18th birthday tomorrow so rushed out and bought a card and cake for him to take to class. Nothing much else to report..work,dog walk,dinner,shower, TV, bed

TizerCat

Have just popped home to walk the doglet! Work is soooo frustrating today i feel like selling my flat and moving to a far corner of the country where I can live with little contact with people! Just me and doglet

Oh well I had better go back ......

Spent a lovely evening at the allotment with doglet - am slowly getting it cleared Lots of midges about and foxes! IT feels more like autumn already as there is a chill in the evening air. Its a fabulous way to unwind after work

Colleague brought hr 4 week old baby into work for us to see - baby is gorgeous :) - it is amazing how small they are at that age! As I knew she was coming I picked her card and prezzie up when I went home at lunchtime, then promptly dropped the card in the dogs water! so sacrificed another NSD to buy another one - but worth it:).

Watching CSI and off to bed

TizerCat

Am watching CSI again, am an addict!

Have updated GC with this weeks shopping. Felt a bit depressed in $sda yesterday - don't know why - it just hit me how much everything is going up in price! didn't help this morning getting a letter from Ebico saying their gas and electric is going up too- :eek: I think I should make a conservative effort to winter proof the flat or the meters will be eating all my cash again this winter.

Walked into town to get my driving licence photo updated -and paid £24.50 for the priviledge :cool: Atleast i saved the bus fare!

Sun was out by the time I got home so I walked to the allotment with doglet and did some more clearing.

Have done all the house work and washing including the students'.

Spag bol for inner whilst watching Harry P

Fingers crossed for sunshine tomorrow and will get to the allotment again.
