    Hi P, not been very well so have not been on computer for a couple of days. Sorry to hear things are still bad. I hope something good happens so you can keep captain. What about the young girl that often rides him - could she not part loan him?

    Morning Piq, I really wish I could wave a wand and give you some comfort at this time. Best I can do is hugs and the offer of a shoulder if you need.

    Hello my dear, dear Piq.

    I am so sorry to hear about your latest worries and am sorry that I was not around to offer some comfort if not a way out of this situation.

    When I am stressed I sing the song "I wanna be a billionaire" loudly to myself. I find myself right now singing it thinking of what I'd love to be able to do to help you in your hours of need.

    I have nothing much else to add, funny smileys don't really seem appropriate right now.

    I am fairly certain you will find a way out of this and have everything that is possible crossed in hope for you.

    I hope you had a better day today and that the good news you so deserve is around the corner.

    Lots of love and support, (I know how much you hate hugs).

    I'm here and okay!

    Such a busy day yesterday. Someone left the keys to the asylum on the hall table.... and some of the inmates visited me at work.

    The following folk arrived:

    The lady who stood on a chair and loudly berated the shop with some remarkable language :eek: When offered a free coffee she spat on my colleague :eek:

    The man who when told he couldn't have breast milk in his coffee p*ssed up the door:eek:

    The two people who locked themselves in the toilet and wouldn't come out until the police were called :eek:

    The poor colleague who dropped a box of 50 mugs, not one survived!

    Long day....

    However, I have interesting news. My blood test results are back from Tuesday. I had a call from the doctor to say my dose needs to upped straight away, far too low. This may account for tiredness, coldness and feeling so down. I'll need another test in three months.

    I have an interview :j It's come through from the agency that contacted me last week. The interview is probably next Thursday, just waiting for date confirmation.

    I have drafted my 'willing to do anything from gardening to shopping' card for the Post Office. Will drop it in later on my way to the stables.

    Banana and brown sugar porridge for breakfast and butternut squash and chilli soup for lunch, not sure about dinner yet, will have to route round the fridge and freezer later.

    Hey Piq, sorry I've been absent for so long. I've just read back the last few pages until I can fit in a full catch-up. Sorry you're a bit down, sending you happy thoughts x
