    Hi BB!

    How are you, keeping busy with hoss I imagine.

    I really want to go and see the dressage to music, I think it's next week, I might have a look and see if there are tickets available. The Captain and I have never done it, I'm not sure he's a dancing horse, although he'll think he can do it better than any other horse!

    Well done for getting the cc down to zero, a good feeling. The figures are going steadily down, it's not easy but you're getting there.

    The Freestyle is a week today, but no tickets available currently :( I have a friend who's got tickets and she's qualified at Elementary for her regional finals which are the same day - she's going to Greenwich!

    I'd love to see the dressage to music too, but have to work :( Going to the equestrian events though at the paralympic games which will be in Sept so looking forward to that :D

    Good news this afternoon, my aunts dad has recently died, 98 so fab age, but had quite an inheritance, so she has gifted me £250 :D So fab. Going to use that to knock at least another month of the loan £150 and then the rest to holiday savings. Now have enough for holiday spends in few weeks time :D

    The equestrian paralympics are amazing, I always feels so humbled. I'd love to go. I hope you enjoy it, make sure you report back.

    That loan is coming down slowly but surely.

    She's growing up now! She is soooo beautiful and very shiny too! What height do you expect her to grow to?

    Hello, thank you :) Not too shiny hasnt had a brush for a few days! Must take a picture when she is proper shiny! She is about 14hh at the moment, her mum and dad are both 15.1, hoping she is about that, dont want too much bigger, Baldrick was only 13.2 so be weird riding a proper size horse after all these years!

    Moneywise £10 received from survey site, but had to pay some ebay fees, so working around bits of what has gone in and out think £3.69 in credit, but confused so going to keep this money in current account to reduce overdraft, will do more proper budgeting next month!

    Morning world, one more week at work then off on holiday, cant wait :D Short week as well as off on Thursday as horse trainer down.

    Slight change of plan moneywise from the gift received from auntie, it is in current account and has reduced my overdraft, currently only £5 overdrawn with a limit of £850 so thats fab, really keep trying to reduce this so will leave loan overpayment for now. Need to go shopping on thursday afternoon to get some new trainers and towels for holiday so will use the money for this and also the money for the horse trainer. I have some money in for horse funds but will leave this in there then will have enough in there for next trainer session and vets fees in October, this means I dont have to find anymore out of the budget. :D

    Sofa payment out today so another £31 of the total.:)

    Had a good weekend, had a fab tidy up downstairs of the house, its looks half habitable now!! Going to organise a housewarming in September now have room for people to be, only been there over a year :o Could have done more over the weekend but was watching the olympics, really fab, go team gb, makes you all patriotic :j
