Oh poor you; he doesn't know how lucky he is. I have looked at horses that need re-homing from Ireland (just looking mind you!;)). It is so sad, one of them came with a free donkey. Now that was tempting. Unlike you however, I still have my mortgage and two huge teenage boys; so funding this would not be possible.


How often are you working/riding him? Does working in London make this tricky?


Have a lovely springtime hack and he will be back in your good books.:D

Ooooh I can imagine teenage boys are quite expensive to keep
How about trading in one for a horse and one for a donkey :rotfl:
Yes it makes it really tricky! I am just soooo tired all the time now and pretty miserable I reckon that's not helping me and horsey either!
This job wont be a long term thing I can tell you!
Not sure there is such a thing as a lovely hack on my boy - eventful and interesting are more the words but it allows me to clear my mind of everything else!

Just popped to l!dl on my lunch break - wow that shop is great. Got a ton of stuff and 6 bottles of wine, 16x beer and everything for tonight for £60. Remembered to take bags too :A

OH dear, that sort of thing always makes me want to go and get them too...especially with a free donkey. I do have to harden my heart. Fortunately Mr Watty reminds me about the time I don't have too....

Am with LauraJo - any chance I suspect the horse + donkey would be cheaper to keep than a teenager :rotfl:

Don't tempt me.......:rotfl:

Uggghhh Monday morning... but....at least the sun is shinning!!
Hope everyone had a nice weekend.
Mine wasn't too bad - neighbours round but left over food has done us another 3 days and unbelieveably there is still a little bit of wine left (only because they all bought drink - we actually got through an awful lot!)
Spent £100 on horse stuff on Sat - really exciting things like new fence posts, hose pipe and a tap - rock and roll!!
The lady I'm sharing the field with is going to pay half.
We needed to buy extra fence posts coz the bu&&ers kept jumping over the electric tape!! The tall fence posts are soooo expensive so I bought the cheap ones and gaffer taped them together :D
They haven't wrecked it yet. Also in the long term it will save me money because they wont trash the field and I wont have to spend loads on hay which is stupidly expensive!!
Too tired sat night after doing the fencing so didn't go out.

A day at the yard yesterday so quite cheap.... seriously people on here wanting a horse - they seem quite expensive to keep but they do mean you have no time / too knackered / broken to actually go and do anything else :rotfl::rotfl:

Alchemilla

You are not kidding. Double if you walk alongside rather than ride!!

LauraJo

Very true Alchemilla! Esp when they !!!!!! off!!
Lovely visit to the field this morning. All in the right sections and the sun is shinning!
Got a riding lesson tonight - £35 for 30 hr which seems steep but I've never had a proper professional lesson so it will be interesting to see what happens!

Alchemilla

You are gonna be sore after 30 hrs. Sounds like a bargain to me!!

FloppyDisk

Hehehehe, well done Alchemilla. Enjoy LauraJo!!

LauraJo

Omg it felt like 30 hrs!! Ended up being an hr and a half which for £35 seems a bargain. Ache like anything and am knackered! Need to work on getting an independent seat apparently

LauraJo

Amazingly I don't ache today - even made it to the gym for 7 :A
Probably means I should work harder in my next lesson!

Not a very MSE day today because I haven't bought anything in for lunch. I was so knackered last night I literally couldn't be bothered to get anything ready and by that I mean I literally couldn't be bothered to put a tin of soup in my bag
Will be careful where I go though as you can easily clear £8 for lunch in the big smoke :eek:
One more day to go and then 4 days off :EasterBun
