smallholdingsister's strivings

Did you post at 5.20 because you got up early, or because you have not yet gone to bed after all the celebrations...?

smallholdingsister

Up early! Miss Puppylove needed a wee at 5.

Hi Smallholding Sister, just popping by! Love the fast paced nature of your diary! Sorry to hear your house still hasn't sold. Hard to believe a 3-bed has been advertised at 55k more than your 4-bed. That's nuts! Beach day sounded blissful and congrats on your students results! Sounds like a lovely pony-filled summer xx

smallholdingsister

Hello castlelough lovely to see you here.

Very pleased still.

Today we have to tidy up and get the kids packed for their holiday.

Might just guard the sofa a bit first.

And didn't you only join the school in Jan? If so, then truly awesome work!
(If you didn't, then I shall slink away in shame at getting it wrong...)

I did, Apple.
Today I am going to drive a long way to take Plops to see a saddle fitter who is actually competent. I hope.
Somewhat worried about the spending that might be involved.

Fingers crossed for a bargain saddle x

smallholdingsister

Thanks Squirrel that worked!
2 1/2 hours to get there and she was AMAZING. She pretty much rebuilt the Plops' original saddle, was charming and interesting and DD says it is SO much better.
So total cost £48. The Plops was a total angel about the looonngg journey.

Added to that I have £200 worth of saddle to put on eBay so Yay!

DS has a mate coming to play this morning. Puppy love is "going away".
