    An acupuncture session at 9 am. Feel vaguely sick as a result and havent done much in the way of work. Hand no better from acupuncture.
    Mr Watty asleep on sofa.
    Feel day not going to plan.
    Really must work.
    Havent been on the declutter total but back to it. Sent saddle (48/365) used bag of foam chippings (49) and box (50) that were in spare room. Removed 2 cardboard boxes from barn and put out for recycling (51) another bag of foam chippings (52) and another 2 bags of rubbish (53/365) found they way to bin.
    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 !!

    Are you able to do the horses ok?

    Thankfully the horses are quite polite and so doing them is managable. And ...we dont drink so thats not to blame :rotfl:

    Am self employed and behind. No chance of time off. Am working away in office catching up :A whilst Mr Watty grills sausages with one hand.

    Things will get better and could be worse. Bankrupt friend has bought more stuff for barn storage. Barn needs re-organising o/wise will fall over clutter and do yet more injuries. But, thankful Mr Watty and I are working on financial soundness.

    The gardener has been for a day. :j Am so happy. Whilst I have been working he has mowed the lawns, strimmed the back drive and all the banks around the arena, weeded the garden, planted the 8 plants that were in pots waiting to go in and is just finishing off by giving everything a good feed with some manure.
    The garden looks lovely :j

    He has done way more than I could have done. Just the strimming would have taken me a couple of days. Yes I could have done it myself but he has made a fantastic job and in less time than me and the sense of peace I get from going out there and seeing a tidy garden has made it all worthwhile. He was a recommendation and a fantastic one. Very happy
