    Indeed I was pooped out on the couch. I've been watching the Young Victoria film. I meant to come onto the diaries earlier but got caught up in the film instead!

    As bast suggested the kn*b couldn't have been nicer, paid me straight away and stayed out of the way - perfect!

    The girls were very sweet and said they didn't want me to leave, which was nice. Hard work as it was busy, but the atmosphere was so much nicer - shame it couldn't always have been like that. I'll do tomorrow then it's over.

    Ooh Piq, go you! I've got a good feeling about this new job. It's going to lead to great things.

    I love the theory of wearing your riding gear to feel confident. I shan't try it myself though. You can see cellulite through my jods, and when I breathe out the zip comes down. Also the soles of my riding boots are really slippery so I fall over a lot.

    Me too! but without the slippery soles. Riding gear definitely lifts the confidence a level or two. It's a pity we can't wear it for all occasions....
