One thing I have noticed about horsey folk *present company excepted* is they can be pretty casual about cash.0 -

I am cutting down on the wine because I just can't function the next day if I have more than a couple of glasses. Fortunately gin and tonic has no after effects.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:D0 -
Thanks Tilly.x
Helen and Squirrel you are both better at moderation than me...interestingly g n t is worse for me than wine. Must be the zonkers that DH mixes!
Glad to have stuck to my guns, I know what you mean though, Helen!
