Good morning
Thanks all for dropping by and agree with you all that rightmove is the work of the devil, definitely one to ignore for now.
So a lovely few days again. Did hossie friday night then went to see OH, cooked me lovely dinner again and relaxed. Small spends on Saturday bought pair of scissors in Dunelm Mill, nope not for the house but for trimming the horse as reasonably priced sharp scissors :rotfl:Only I go into a homeware shop and buy items for the horseOH bought some new bedding and pillows for himself. Then to waitrose to get some dinner which OH paid for.
Got some cash out yesterday for hossie trainer this week otherwise a NSD. Spent day helping OH cutting down hedges, done a great job so very pleased
Came home this morning, traffic not too bad, considering its M20, M26 and M25 :cool: Laid in bed for wee while longer than should have so left 15 mins late which considering there was quite a bit of traffic was only 10 mins late to work after doing hossie and getting changed. Will stay over on a sunday again now done a test run. Was really nice not having to rush of and spending whole weekend relaxing and having fun
NSD today and lunch bought in from home. Feeling quite positive with money at the moment, situation at home still drags me down a lot, just frustrating living like this and house is always a mess, always down to me to clear up which it seems has always beenBut need to focus on the good and think this wont be forever.

Hi Baldy Bear!
The title of your diary caught my eye! I have a horse too, and I really haven't mentioned him much in my diary yet because it seems like a bit of an irony to be trying to become debt free and splashing cash on my horse at the same time!
However, I wouldn't be without him!
Anyway I've been reading your diary this morning and you sound super busy - life is changing fast! Am delighted for you that you've made the break with your old OH and that you have a new man in your life!
I also think that you should be cautious about taking over the mortgage - you may want something entirely different in a few months time (ahem, a home in Kent or somewhere...!) so it could be an idea to sell your house and rent for a little while before you commit to living where you are. I went from owning my own apartment for 7 years, to selling it, to renting while I build a house with DH. It's all a bit messy, but with time you will figure out what you want!
I love hearing all about your hoss!

Good morning
Thanks Castle for dropping by, agree with your sentiments about taking over the mortgage, who knows what may happen in a few months time. Carrying on with Plan A to pay of the debt and then need to start saving, so one way or the other will have some money behind me to either put towards mortgage or whatever happens next.

Morning
Wow lots of visitors, thanks all, not feeling that great today so doing a few bits at work then going to go home and sleep.
Good things today, £21 received from survey sites so thats been paid to the CC, also expenses have landed so a further £107 so new total on CC is £2119, getting there
As requested quick pic of hossie.....taken on monday after having fun rolling in poo and mud :cool: Got to do hossie twice a day every day, she is stabled overnight, so up before work go give brekkie, turn her out, start mucking out, home to work, home from work back to hossie and then finish of and put her to bed ready to do it all the next day. Yard she is on is great and owners are lovely so when go away just pay them to do the hossie, not too much but means am not restricted
Definitely agree with others that a lot more positive since OH came on the scene, have known him as a friend for 10 years previously and think this really helps as we are relaxed with each other. He has a great positive attitude and makes me feel really valued and treats me like a princess so cant complainHave to get a decent pic of me and OH to find to post.
