    Thanks Watty.

    I have decided I would like a border terrier when im an old lady.

    £102 diesel. £28 mr s. More uniform for DD2, new lunchbox for same, loo paper, pull ups, birthday card for Pa, superglue to mend DD1's jodhpur boots.

    DH has cleaned out the water collecting system at stables and retrieved some firewood.

    Failed to find ANY size 13 trainers for DD 2 in either Mr s or Mr t superstores.

    Trainers found, bay of E £9 incl postage.

    Listed two items you know where and decluttered three large bin bags of stuff from the playroom of doom.

    Puppylove is keeping a very low profile in case she is next to be decluttered.

    Yesterday was another first with ponyplops since we loaded her with DDs friend's pony who she had met once. She was very good, if strong in defence of her haynet, and we ended up giving the girls a mummy-led lesson with a jumping course.

    Today we have
    * DH haircut, collect scrips, charity shop run.
    * Pony seeing the back lady
    * Pony and DD being trailered to a lesson
    * DH doing a job app/marking.

    Lesson postponed on back lady's advice. Instead we all pottered in the garden for two hours.
