    PS gorgeous pic. Hopefully his crest won't harden and you can stay on top of it. Little pony is exactly the same tho thankfully our grass is down now, tho it does mean there has been a few scuffles in the field instead.
    Debt - CCV £3792
    CCB £1383 (took a hit for a holiday)

    Loan 1 £1787
    Loan 2 £1683
    Total £8601 Was £39302
  • Ouch, that neutral feedback I picked up a couple of weeks ago is really starting to bite - I banked a grand total of £20 from PayPal today :(:(:( Still, I'm in a better situation than I was when this happened earlier in the year - I have a second source of income and I'm not right up against my overdraft limit. Doesn't stop it sucking, but it does stop me worrying too much. I think I've got another 2 weeks before it drops off, so hopefully if I sit tight and make all my customers happy things will be back to normal in time for the peak period.

    Anyway, scores on the doors:

    Business
    Overdraft: -£-6,850.00 / -£6,750.00 +£100.00

    Business total: -£-6,850.00 / -£6,750.00 +£100.00

    Personal
    Halifax card: -£5,370.00 / -£5,370.00 no change

    Personal total: -£5,370.00 / -£5,370.00 no change

    Grand total:12,220.00 / -£12,120.00 +£100.00

    I've just had an unexpected horse spend as well. Merlin is getting thrush in his feet and since that's the second time this year, I've splashed out on an expensive forage balancer to try and put it right from the inside as well as out. My fault entirely, if I ever got the time to give his feet a good workout on the road three or four times a week he wouldn't have this problem, but when he's squelching around a wet field all the time it's very easy for bacteria to get in and start causing problems. It's not full-blown thrush yet, there's no black stinky stuff, but he's getting a split between his heel bulbs that I need to get on top of before it gets worse, so it'll be out with the hibiscrub later - I am not going to be popular. I was going to buy this balancer when he got it over the summer, but delayed it because I still had loads of my own home-made one left. Might have been a false economy.

    Hi Verbatim,

    My family found my posts on here so I deleted them and changed my username.
    My blog can be found here and is on my user profile.


    Thanks. :beer:

    Hi Caz finally caught up with your diary...sorry for the absence. What a busy month you have had, I don't know how you have fitted it all in!

    My boys are fattening up too having moved to their winter field earlier in the month. I'm sure they will lose it all over the winter months though if I can resist overfeeding as soon as it gets chilly!

    Hopefully the thrush will go quickly ....

    Boo to the poor rating and loss of sales.....seems really unfair

    Yay to the reduced debt....so close to £12K now :-)

    Have a good w/e

  • Remember I bought that domain name a couple of days ago? Well, three hours and a lot of head scratching later....

    For a near-total novice at WordPress (I've done a basic blog on their default template in the past!), I'm pretty chuffed with that :D Now I just have about fourteen tons of content to write to add to it...

    hi Caz, hope you don't mind me pointing this out but just had a look at your website and you have misspelled 'transcription'!


    Wouldn't normally be the spelling police but you are advertising a 'fast and accurate' service :rotfl: Good luck with the website.

    That's what happens when you think 'I'll just make one last change to the header' at quarter to one in the morning!!

    THANK YOU!!!
