    As Calvin and Hobbes would say, it's not denial, you're just selective about the reality you accept! :rotfl:

  • Not much point having a pony with no tack... A necessary spend, I would say.:D
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Quite a busy day of pony and chores. She was super good today.
    Very annoyed with self as burnt half a pack of chips to cinders.
    On the upside, the bucket of broken dishwasher tabs off the bay of fleas is still half full and think we have had a year already.

    Today I am grateful for
    * pony love
    * puppy love
    * wm big enough to get a horse rug in
    * two sunny days
    * tea.

    Ouch! It doesn't depreciate too badly tho so could maybe see it as an investment? Am I grasping at straws? :p

    The silly twit has cut herself and she did not like having her wound washed.

    They are second only to sheep in the imaginative ways they can hurt themselves.

    Parents' eve this week. Got half way out with pony and remembered DH was supposed to be at a meeting. Legged it home leaving DB to go yomping.

    Phew.
