This Time I'm Really Going To Do It

I've never been convinced by soap nuts Habibiboo!! I think they may work for folk who dont have grubby hobbies and pets but they were unequal to the challenge of the Watty household!

Now..I have a wonderful magic stick and I could maybe start making them and selling them on ebay!! You have to stir the washing clockwise and anticlockwise chanting a rhyme :rotfl:

OK :rotfl:Truthfully its lots of water and soap powder. I had to wash the white show jods 3 times to get rid of the smudges and so on :rotfl:. My dog brings so much gumph in from the garden that I'm not sure washing his bed makes any difference so I don't. He doesnt seem to mind in the slightest

Was all set to make an overpayment. Can't find bank card. Need that as have to phone bank and give them card details over phone. Finally give up looking and phone bank to canx card. Hang up. Find card. Arghhhhh !! Suspect more decluttering needed to end up with a tidy organised house:rotfl:

I have repaired my jeans! The waistband ripped and so, needing jeans, I bought a new pair online. I plan to take them back now (it was free delivery) as I have repaired my old ones. I am amazed and very happy. £40 saved! :T

Well done on the competition. Brilliant!

Another well done Watty, and well done to pony too! I'm really missing riding already

Oooh 5th place! Impressive. Who decided that white or cream jods were a good combo with horses - they must have just been mean mean people

I was desperate for a pair as a 13 yo. First competition, pony dumped me in the mud and the marks never came out.

Oh how cute! Well it probably wasn't at the time but it is one of those memories that just stick. Pony probably had a sense of humour too.

Floppy go back to riding! If you miss it, go back to it. You need a hobby

I've had a lovely day. Had lunge lesson this morning, then discussed with instructor her plans to get me jumping. Well discussed might not be the right word. I just mumbled. I mean 3 months ago I was in a right old state and thanks to the lovely folk around me I am now not only riding, but my confidence is growing, I've taken baby to a competition and now the woman wants me to jump !!!

Then came home and hacked baby round the block with lovely neighbour. It was a bit overcast so I put on his flourescent rug bought off ebay for just 99p. Lovely I thought till he jumped everytime he felt it on his back as he walked :rotfl:Bless him. Half way round he realised it wasnt chasing him and he settled.

Fab day. Now in office working. Has to be done. Corporation tax to be paid. Trying to summon the courage to investigate HMRC site as I see it has to be paid via their site and I cant just send a cheque
