well done on ebay, i hope there is a bidding war for you!

The parcel arrived yesterday, DD was very excited and had a good rummage through. Thank you so much, the clothes are excellent. I was also a true MFW as I had bought DD a wetsuit from 3 for 2 offer in Boots so was able to return that and exchange it for some lovely white trousers for her.

The children would love a pony! I always wanted one when growing up - doesn't every little girl? Do you have land or will you keep it close by?

A pony! I'm so jealous, DD would love one.

its a pleasure Cath. would you like the 4-5s when they become "available"?

we have land, bought on a whim 5 or so years ago. its givng us £200 worth of firewood this year but we have mowed it and notalot else. we would need a field shelter.

i had a pony as a kid it was ace.

thinking of getting my year 11s a flash drive with a motto on as a leaving present...what does anyone think?

i was going for WORK HARD AND BE NICE TO PEOPLE with a symbolic picture of "the road ahead"

the pony is not the expensive bit...its all the other stuff. :eek:

baby is grumpy today. mad day today with too many things to do. got a lovely parcel with some used baby clothes from a friend in the U.S.

Waiting on an approved foods delivery but I can't tell when they are coming as the screen on my mobile has decided to go blank. Last time I lend it to DH.

Mad day yesterday, babe would not let me do a thing, but managed to declutter an AF order, a wine delivery and a Mr S delivery. Also 2 parents evenings and an easter egg hunt. Phew!

Good news, DH got some pay backdated, so an extra £127 in the coffers.


Quiet day planned today. Saw a job I would really really like, but it starts when I am on mat leave. Boo hiss.

That would be extremely kind, thank you.

Sounds like you're almost set to go with the pony. The girls already ride don't they?
