    What about Pinks? She isn't an ID but she is lovely. Not sure if her owner has sold her yet though????

    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 !!

    Went out to feed the ponies today and thought "what a lovely life". How things change from a few weeks ago :)
    Now at work and whilst I may not like it I'm focusing on the 'bigger picture' i.e. FIRE !!
    Off to make a cup of tea and tackle the inbox of emails. I'm sure they breed in there.

    Hi Watty I'm so pleased you are feeling brighter. The mild weather and bright sun really helps doesn't it. I've been up since 5 with poorly DS :o but on the plus side I've almost got my days work done - one of the many perks of working at home! Treat yourself to a custard cream with your cuppa :):)xx

    ETA I've just read back. I totally agree with Mr Watty. Smash this mortgage to smithereens in 2015 and build your fund back up in 2016. Sounds like a tall order but if anyone can do it ion ca. Whaddya think?! Feel free to set me some ridiculous challenge in return too :) xx

    Not sure about setting anyone else a daft challenge. My own is daft enough.
    In spirit of challenge a couple of items listed on ebay - and - :j - sold the bits bought for 80s themed party on Saturday night already so that is a result.
    The one time plan to use ebay sales to buy some shares is now off the table as I need all the cash I can get my hands on for the last 6 months of this year.

    Pinks really is pink, gorgeous. A bit too heavy for DD though.

    Thanks Apple Muncher. But that 9k was a bit of a cheat as I did use some of the emergency fund to do that. The plan is now to hammer it down by the end of the year so there will be a bit of 'cheating' in the final push :)

    A friend of mine knows Pinks and says she is gorgeous! And very reliable.

    That one you have found is rather handsome. I do like a nice grey. That's a possibility yes!

    Well Greent cost is on credit card due to be cleared next month - but - yes - feeling like living again was worth every penny!


    Most handsome finally has another saddle which should help out with his back pain issues. £300 spent.
    New saddle needs a pad underneath it but quick chat with saddler and I worked out I could make one that did the job and we chatted through that and she agreed. I already have the bits to do this :j
    Also she promised to buy the saddle back when Most Handsome has muscled back up enough to go into his original saddle so hopefully I won't lose to much on the deal.
    Rode for all of 15 mins. Most Handsome not happy. Think will investigate getting a professional to help with the return to work.
