    I love that programme too, the music is soooo relaxing I find. I didn't think there was anyone else out there who like it lol. Nice, easy watching. I didn't know it was on last night though and no doubt it won't be on catch up.

    Few! I'm going to take it, for now, one day at a time. So far this week I have earned £80 and hopefully another £80 over the weekend. I'm still waiting for my pay to come through for mid feb, but at least I know there is something in the packet.

    Our electricity went off in 3 rooms this morning just out of the blue. Late this afternoon an electrician called and found water in one of the downstairs sockets! Nightmare really, one I can't do much about, the walls are so old and they need sealing or rendering or something! Either way it's dry for now and the wires have been replaced, electricity back on.

    The wall I painted with yacht varnish is showing signs of damp again...tamping actually!

    Never mind, two cakes cooked today and almost one eaten lol :)

    I'm just about to have words with DH I have come up to bed to find a large photo of a mustang car on my bedroom wall, I know what he will say, "well there is a horse on there as well! I thought you'd like it!" Errr NO! Wt*!!

    I've had a really busy week. Have worked almost everyday and am booked up for the next few days as well.
    Had a rebate from hmrc so that was great £408 gratefully received.
    As it stands today my overdraft is £127.43, I hope that with my feb wages and DH takings from this business it might still look like that at the end of the month. Fingers crossed :)
    Ordered more hay today should be here Monday.
    The bigger one is feeling a bit better today I think, he was actually teasing all the others and cantering round the yard! I covered him in olbasoil yesterday and that might have done the trick :)
    Have a lovely weekend x

    The new fence is up. Stock fence instead of large picket fence but looks good. DH worked hard this afternoon to remove the old one and put up the new one, we then had two very happy doggies running round, it's such a relief to let them out without worrying.

    Horses ok today, all out on the yard and enjoying the sunshine.

    Spent £28 at Aldi, £41 at the horse shop on fencing and feed so pleased with that.

    Hello Scottishmummy! Nice to meet you :)
    Well hay arrived today, opened first one and ...yuk! Rotten, not impressed :) rung him up and nicely complained, ok he said I'll swop it, phew!
    Younger one has been ridden again today and for the second day running has stretched through and low in canter, DD ecstatic. Might manage to get some nice extended trot in the near future.
    Beautiful weather here again today, brilliant sunshine and slightly warmer temperatures.
    Worked booked until Friday, could be more so keeping my fingers tightly crossed.
    Really annoyed with ebay today though! We sent a large parcel and they automatically put it through their global shipping programme, they updated tracking numbers with their own reference and promptly lost the parcel. They have refunded our customer for his loss with our money! They say our tracking number is wrong....ITs their tracking number, idiots! I'm going to fight this one all the way £100 we've lost. Our tracking numbers show it was signed for at ebays global shipping programme depot, fuming!
    Anyway, I'm going for a quick shower, then some nice meditation music :)

    Yes I do, I also work for DH and DS in my "spare time" and the ebay issue is to do with their business.

    Mucked out, fed etc this morning, cleaned bathroom, decluttered and hoovered through, on 3rd load of washing. Just had dinner and I'm afraid to say had two chocolate biscuits, yummy :)
    Picking up a friends bike this afternoon which has no tax insurance etc so have to take my loll poll (horse box), at least the cd selection is far superior to the car lol :)
    I'm feeling very tired this week, usually I have a few days working then a few days off but I've worked since Saturday last week with one day off, money's good though! Hope it continues.
