    True KC :)
    Didn't get very far with financial goals but on the plus side didn't spend any money either. The new saddle bought a couple of months ago (well new to me, was a secondhand saddle) may not fit Most Handsome (even though saddler says it does Mr Watty and a couple of pals think it doesn't and I am beyond confused). Either that or Most Handsome still has problems.
    Not sure which so got out another saddler. Possibly the most incompetent saddler of the lot. I very clearly said I wanted her to bring the treeless saddle she sells and she turned up without it saying it wouldn't fit :mad: Bought another one which didn't fit and Most Handsome had a huge strop. She then said Most Handsome was clearly in pain and shouldn't be working :mad:
    Now whilst I am considering there may be something wrong with Most Handsome having a saddle that doesn't fit would be like wearing a very uncomfortable pair of shoes. Silly cow then wanted £50 call out :mad: :mad: :mad:
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    Sorry to hear you didn't get on the course, hopefully another opportunity will come up - are they likely to run it again?

    :( with MH, really hope it can be sorted.

    Well done on the dog show wins, sounded like a fab day out and great weather too. Crumbs, Springy will be 7 next year...thought they were meant to slow down a bit by then...no signs so far :rotfl:

    Here's to work being back on track :beer: I'm just about back to normal after my too long break (as much as it did me good). :)

    Fab couple of days out of office. Today was a particularly lovely day as it was the 30th Birthday of a charity I am trustee for and they held a party/celebration alongside a graduation event. So lovely and lots of really motivational speakers. Came away full of enthusiasm - but - tired now :)
    Will catch up with all later.

    Busy couple of days. I have found the joys of pruning the garden with a small saw. (Well it was overgrown).
    Day at work, head still planning new ideas but need to focus on some routine stuff first.
    Caught up with a few threads here but now need to think about own financials so off to check online accounts.
