This Time I'm Really Going To Do It

Watty1

The running isn't exactly enjoyable - but - sense of achievement is so keeping going. Also, think it might do my mental health a lot of good.
Busy day ahead. Plan is for horse dentist this morning, hair cut this afternoon, answer emails for work, check designs for two work leaflets and routine work. All a bit of a squeeze ...also need to send apology to friend. Didn't make her birthday party at the weekend. Plan to fib a bit. Real reason was Mr Watty had to work and I couldn't face going on own. Don't really want to admit that though.

You're telling the truth to yourself, and protecting yourself in RL with a little white lie. It's okay :kisses3:

aww thanks KC x

not got a lot done. Had hair cut and journey home took an hour and a half ...eeek!! Don't children walk home from school anymore? Traffic was awful. Now all behind self
am back to decluttering but with a slightly new emphasis. Have dusted off the vision board I made a while ago and am now focusing on that. It seems to me I have a lot of the elements of my vision board in place but they just need refining. A decluttered house is one part (OK so it might not look like the place on the vision board but lets see).
The spare room bed was covered in stuff that had been on ebay but not sold, so, rather than relist it, I popped it all in a carrier bag and donated it. Along with a shirt I had been going to wear and decided was particularly unflattering. Rather than wear clothes out and chunk they can go out now......

All the parents giving lifts to their precious Year 7s. By November they'll be walking.

Still trying to pull self back up and into the world. The fields had got into a very messy state with no poo picking (for non horsey readers the poo does need to be cleared off fields!) so £45 spent today having someone help do that. Money well spent. Place looks so much more cared for......

Is 'professional poo picker' a job title?!

I hope the poo goes somewhere to break down a little bit so it can be put on the garden

Good to hear that you're taking care of yourself as much as you can, even though things are still tricky.

It does rot down on our muck heap but we can't give it away at the speed the horses produce it so at once or twice a year I pay a local farmer to take it away .....


Can't believe another day has flown by. Had plans which amounted to nothing and here I am at nearly half past ten ...having said good night to ponies and dog and kitten is pottering about somewhere. Good day, collected a saddle from a pal that was on loan to her but she never used, so, am going to try on Most Handsome, lunch with a pal and then back for a couple of hours work then out for an Indian, not MSE but by then was too frayed to think of anything. Managed to arrange a wedding present for the couple whose wedding we are going to tomorrow. Am having a plate painted to represent them and their wedding so should have a few pics of their dogs and their careers and then one of them in front of church with names and dates.... hopefully they will love it. And it was a very reasonable (for a unique gift) £85.
Now off to bed ....need to sleep as early start tomorrow.

The plate sounds lovely. And £45 sounds like money well spent on a professional poo picker, especially once it's built up.
