    Ed your prayers are exactly what I need - thank you.

    Stunning and unexpected spring day today. Children all well exercised. We are all watching Scooby Doo together. Now that has stood the test of time.
    From me too, another softie veggie ...

    The hunt is equally disliked here, terribly lacking in horsemanship ironically. If you want to go Watty, cubbing in the autumn is probably the best place to start, but personally I wouldn't put my own horse through hunting with our big local one at least.

  • Good luck with it all. At least the house stuff takes your mind off the work stuff.
    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

    Thanks Earthie and KC and Squirrel.

    I feel awful this afternoon. DD 2 has just had a three hour screaming fit (age 7) and I have sent her to bed.

    please tell me its normal ish to be still doing that at seven!

    Even the dog didn't want to play with her.

    Seven things sold on ebay. Ugh. I have an obs tomorrow which I hate hate hate as I get stressed out.

    I will ship my complainypants out of here!

    Oldly our local hunt reasonably well respected. Like the idea of just going to the meet first and building up Al. good thinking :)


    Mind you horse needs to be able to be ridden for that. Currently still field ornament whilst feet have expensive pedicures.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
