    OMG I totally love MSE forum. I needed to know how much the endowment paid out at and I faced a huge sift through bank stuff and papers and goodness knows what and then I had a thought to come on hear and search and using the search facility I found the date and the amount even down to the last 17 pence. How fabulous is that.


    Convinced to start posting again now. And I probably need to. I'm not a frugal Watty these days :)

    Yay! Watty's around!


    Have been thinking about you, as my mum grew up down your way, sort of. And as she regresses into her childhood, we are hearing some new names and places. I hope to travel and find and explore them one day.

    Aww you lot are so lovely :) Gradually I'll catch up with all your news and diaries I'm sure.
    Today I'm thinking I should make some effort to review finances as I'm here so that is on the to do list although the to do list has not exactly been useful today. Electric fence used in paddock came down and inexplicably seems to be about 20 metres longer than when it went in? No idea how that happened? So had to swap horses around so that they can't get out and then make some half hearted attempts to wind electric fence around a fence post to restore it so that one horse could graze that paddock without getting out.



    Now ... anyone who remembers me might wonder why 2 horses need 2 paddocks ... so Most Handsome shares a paddock with Fell Pony and Charming Cob had a paddock to himself. 2 + 1 = 3. Even the least ardent MSE MFW will work that out :) And yes... I have a third horse a charming gentleman cob. (See I said I had not been money saving in my absence)

    I read your diary from the start a few months ago and you were a great inspiration. Lovely to see you are back and congrats on the new GG! Not very MSE at all though....!
