    Good morning :)

    Caz your 2 are gorgeous, especially love the colour on Merlin :)

    Another survey payment has landed of £25, bank wont co-operate and wont let me pay so will try again later, but another wee bit knocked off.

    Hossie is 2 and a quarter, was 2 in April so still young so taking her training nice and slow, just enjoying it and not rushing her.

    Had trainer last night, decided to sit on her, so trainer leaned over, she was fine and then she sat on her, just for few mins didnt walk unless she wanted to, hoss took a few steps back but that was it, just stood there chilling out, was very relaxed, then trainer got off and we took her out for a walk. Trainer again next week and do similar, so slowly slowly. Once she is happy I will get on so prob a few weeks :)

    Picture of last night

    Loveley photos - I'm a sucker for Duns !! And your lady is growing up fast Baldybear, she looks very happy with all the odd things that happened that night, long may she stay the same - she obviously trusts you very much.

    Who'd have thought all us horsey girls would be broke eigh??!! ;)

    I'll pop one up of Grape when I come back on a computer - cant guarantee what size it will end up tho, I'm not very good with photo bucket !!!! The horse in my avatar is Red (petrovna) I lost her last October and can't quite bring myself to change the picture yet!!

    I've just started doing a survey site (well, I'm trawling through the "about you" type questions at the mo) it's called viewsbank - have you tried them? are they any good or should I not worry? :)

    Keep up the good work, you still completely inspire me :)

    Good morning :)

    Trudij I am the same as you, my avatar pic is Baldrick hence my user name and I cant change it either, got to have him still around somewhere :D

    Yep it is a wonder why we are all broke with these hossies :rotfl: Wouldnt change it for the world though.

    Never heard of viewsbank sorry so cant comment, maybe another one worth looking into, incase I dont have enough, they are booring but the payout is good and is all helping :)

    Min payment for CC today of £60 so another bit knocked of the debt.

    Lots of money spent last night, £68 on fuel, £30 out for hairdresser next week and £97 spent on food :eek: But got lots of lovely food for weekend as OH is coming up to see me for a change so treating him a bit, also got lots for the freezer and fresh bits so they are all well stocked again so will last a while :)

    This is the link (well - its my referral link, I'll love you forever if you do decide to join up and do it via that, equally - I wont hate you if you dont ;) !) http://www.viewsbank.com/referral/777a0912 for viewsbank - they have a minimum payout of £6, but thats ok with me - so far Ive earnt £2 just by telling them a bit about me and the household and what car breakdown I have.... :D

    every little helps as they say !!

    oh - and here is Grape ( hopefully not too huge!)

    grapejune22112_zps68c0510a.jpg
