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

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.0 -
DH sent off with a huge bin liner for charity shop and three ebay parcels.
