What have I done....

oh laurajo, i am so sorry to hear about your land - how :mad:

But glad to hear everything else is going well - life really is full of ups and downs, isn't it? I believe in Karma and that lady will have to pay for that at some time.

Alchemilla

Horrible woman. How gutting.

LauraJo

Thanks both. I now need to make a decision what to do with horsey. I love where I am and it's cheap and easy going but there are no facilities at all and I'm only able to ride on the weekends as there is no school etc.
on the plus side, I get all my money back on Monday (yes we'd got as far as transferring all the money!) so I can probably just put it all in my mortgage which means it'll all be paid in March. I would still like to look for something else to buy but there isn't much round here
Anyway the sun is shinning, it's Saturday so going to make the most of it

Aw LauraJo, that's pants!

Guess it just wasn't meant to be and there'll be somewhere better for your horse on the market very soon. I'm a big believer in karma so it'll be interesting to see what happens to your vendor!

Alchemilla

Might you move house again? Would a house with land be a possible?

LauraJo

Thanks gillybean
Alchemilla... I wish it was an option. Houses with land round here are just so expensive. I would probably have to find approx £300k extra just for a house with an acre I do keep looking tho

Just caught up. What a bummer re land. But, on the plus side maybe something else will turn up. I always thought we couldnt afford a house with land - but - then our little rennovation project turned up about 8 years ago and yay we could!!

At the weekend I looked at a house for auction - just reseaching an idea someone posted in my diary, not for actual purchase - and found that a person opposite little house was selling 4 acres - sooo - whilst not an *equine property* that little house had the potential to be just that - yet without the initally high tag. You might just find somewhere next year...dont give up on the idea just yet

If it's meant yo be laurajo something will come up x

LauraJo

Thanks Watty
I am speaking to a lady later about a yard to rent. Its *very* expensvie but maybe I could get a couple more horses in to help out - anyway worth a discussion! That place sounds lovely - Would suit me down to the ground

Hi MC - long time no hear, how you doing?

moneycurious

Doing well thanks LJ, perhaps it may be worth looking at somewhere as a co operative, buying everything as a group???
just an idea from a farmer view lol x
