What have I done....

LauraJo

Another day at home today - I love not having to pay Mr BP twice a week!! In other news OH has been told he's defo off to the war zone in a couple of weeks which is not good
Also managed to borrow some dressage boots for the competition on Sun so that saves me worrying about what to wear! They are mens boots and 2 sizes too big so I'll probably look like a clown!!

Alchemilla

Hopefully they will all be looking at the horse's legs...

Bad news about the war zone. Hope you can put it in a box for a while but I know how hard it is. All the best,

Thanks sss. I'm hoping that the mutts and horsey will keep me so busy in that time that I won't think about it too much

Will have to get him to make me some meals and freeze them before he goes otherwise I will end up spending a fortune on ready meals! Lodger and I already have plans to go out one nite ... Another benefit of a lodger - drinking buddy :beer:

Another day of working at home (I really could get use to this!!)
For anyone else who works at home - how do you stay motivated. I do sometimes find myself doing anything but actual work!!

It takes me around 3.5 hours round trip and £15 in diesel if I need to go into office so quite easy really :rotfl: (currently having late brekkie....)

I'm just thinking about putting my washing out... I haven't done any work yet today... will prob have to catch up on weekend!

Well came 5th in my walk trot dressage test today and got 66.52% which I'm told ain't bad for my first one! The boy did good! On the down side I need to move out of my yard so now need to look for new horse digs that doesn't cost a fortune

Well done on the competition Laura! Hope hubby will stay safe in war zone and you won't starve while he is away.
I've got a new lodger too who so far fed me, went out drinking with me, has offered me a lift to Liverpool (saving 90 £ on the train tickets) and has been rather entertaining so far. Only downside is that he appears to be deaf judging by the volume he watches TV at.... hmmmm they just can't be perfect.

LauraJo

Morning, thanks Resilie!!
I think there is always a little downside with lodgers but like you say they do have their upsides too! That's a good money saving trip to Liverpool!! Just having their rent to pay off the mortgage is just such a massive help! I would recommend it to anyone with a spare room on here!
