So glad your girl is ok, had she had a few days off before it happened? Sometimes one of ours will drop a hind leg if he has missed a few days Anyway good news there is nothing wrong.


Wishing you a all the best on the property front....go and have a sneaky look

No she hadn't but would make sense if so - I am putting it down to bad bl00dy luck lol. It'll stay in my mind now of course and my riding will no doubt reflect it but as long as I'm aware, hopefully we will be ok. She means the world to me.

Lol - I'll wait to see what DH says, if anything and go from there

So pleased your girly's ok and how lovely of your yard owner.

Exciting news on the property front - I'd definately go and have a look. If nothing else it'll make you even more determined

Phew Glad she's okay. I agree with ScattySkewbald, going to see it might well give you a massive inspirational boost.

Good Morning

How is everyone? I am feeling very blessed this morning to have happy healthy family, friends and animals.

The big girl has settled down overnight, have a truly lovely friend on watch of her.

I think we will have a sneaky drive past and enquire at the weekend. There are now 2 I like and one if vacant so we shall have a little look around the area and the land. I've tentatively enquired with the estate agents to see what the status is (everytime I've liked something in the past, it's just had an offer on it "that day").

Money wise, we're on the last day for damage limitation and starting Frugal February tomorrow (ie pay day). I won't go shopping until the weekend though.

A lovely lady in the office who knows my quest, has just brought me an Ald1 voucher from the Sun for £5 off until 29th Jan plus some coupons so I can get the washing powder for free and a couple of other small bits.

Let's pray for a really easy, no spendy month in February.

Ok I have allowed myself to work out what my pay will be with the pay rise we had last year and a "love to have" pay rise. The letters won't be out until March and are based on our merit reviews from 2014 which I don't know yet. Obviously the better the merit review from 2014, the more % rise we get.
Additionally we normally get a bonus in March's pay but that's a nice to have (obviously) opposed to being expected. Yes, I already have it allocated just in case we get one!

Right, plenty done so far for work. Ready for home now but have another hour here, then pick kids up, tea and yard. I forgot to get some blooming meat out today - not impressed with myself! That's being too busy thinking about moving for you!

And bring on frugal feb

Morning

Thank you! happy pay day and happy Friday!

I have a busy morning so will try and update this afty. Money is in but have to wait until next week before I can do anything as bills aren't produced etc but at least I can go shopping. It was no where near as bad of a week as I expected.

Farrier didn't cash cheque either after all that lol.

I've been told my boss is retiring, she rang me to say. She put me forward for her role but as I am in the UK they won't allow it. So annoying. They may come in and disband the team with the new boss so I am sitting tight now and hope to ride out a couple of years to get my DF date. After that, I won't worry quite as much. No change today though, and I can only live day by day.
