    Morning :)

    An amazing night with pony and DD - so proud of them both, they are coming on with their confidence together and it's lovely to see. There were 3 falls last night, thankfully none of them us for a change, I think there was something in the air. No injuries as such and all horses ok.

    My dog is fine too which I'm over the moon about as I felt sick with worry yesterday.

    Financially I've totally overspent preparing for this holiday! I'm hoping for a lottery win whilst I am away!

    All the bills are still being paid of course and nothing is wrong there, just spending more than I should!

    Morning :)

    Thanks Livvy.

    Well the holiday is flying round now and with only the coming weekend to pack I am starting to worry what I haven't done!

    I've been working on the website and hoping to have it in better shape (content wise) pre the holidays. I've ran a facebook advert to finish just before I go so that it's quiet whilst I am away.

    I've also decided to get back into writing, I'd love to produce a little novel and get it published. I started this before and bever continued with it but holidays are perfect times to gather thoughts on this.

    meant to say also, the vet's coming tomorrow for the big girl however now I am pretty sure I know what it is and there may be a hard decision to retire her coming up. I can't put her through another op.

    Afternoon :)

    Well I've been working hard on the website's content and it's slowly getting there. I've managed to add a FB like icon as I'm trying to get to 100 likes and I'm going to do a give away.

    I've had more interest in the sample reports I'm doing for people in the hope they like them and return for the paid version and I'm also going to include their samples on the website with their permission.

    I've also been researching for my book writing and Caz, seems you've done something similar in the past? I stumbled on a thread of yours re Mills and Boon. I've bought J1lly C00pers R1d£rs to get inspiration from ;) eeesh! I shall be reading that on holiday :D

    Vet's out tonight for the big girl so will update tomorrow and the pony is simply as gorgeous as ever.

    Let's not do the money thing until I get back at the end of Oct!

  • Hope all's gone well with the vet x
  • Er, yup, published short story writer here - everything from People's Friend to erotica for Xcite books! I haven't written anything for yonks though, I seem have lost the fun factor :( R1ders is fab - apparently her current work in progress is an RC-B book about flat racing with a provisional title of Leading Sire, can't wait! Have you read Fiona Walker as well? Her first two books were set in the eventing world; French Connection and Well Groomed and one of the later ones revisits those characters, though the name of it escapes me at the moment.

    Morning :)

    Thanks fo this caz - I will have to look her up as no I haven't read any so something for the holidays !

    Well the vet came out last night and the big girl pretended to be ok. Typical of what she has and this is how it happened on the other leg - intermittent pain from navicular. Anyway we've now been asked about having the same op on other leg (this is after a few months of rest and so on) so we will have to think about it.
