    From me too.

    When I haven't been productive, I realise I need to make a list - sometimes I just flap around and look helpless, even when there's no one there to take up the slack!

    Aw I love your diary. I too dream of a small holding and pony. DD1 is 2 and DD2 isnt born yet but I have been demonstrating to OH that a pony of our own would work out much cheaper than 3 sets of riding lessons.

    Hope your daughter is ok xx
