  • I started. Team mate Puppylove went in the orchard to eat rotten apples and roll in badger poo.
    Team mate Ponyplops whinnied me, had a buckaroo, trotted alongside for ten seconds then said s o d this and ate the hedge.

    Podcast a bit glitch, does it need internet. Pitiful 195 cal burned.

    :rotfl: okay, that wasn't quite what I had in mind for your teammate, but you gotta take what you can :rotfl:

    Bit better. Did the hedge need pruning? :D

    Thousand miles, single step, blah blah. You know the drill. Do the same walk the next day and pump your arms, I bet you get to 225 :)

    Friend of mine used to go running with her pony - his trot was just the right speed to push her out of a comfortable dwadle.

    That's cool. Thanks for the moral support KC.

    Today I have clipped 62 claws (probably) 3 guinea pigs and one dog. DS came over all queasy and had to sit down.

    I must have said "It's OK" and "I am not letting go" 100 times.

    Reminds me of when we first got Plops and she used to try to do riverdance when I picked her feet up.

    eta also showered Puppylove and washed her collar. Cue more "It's OK" "I'm not letting go".

    Decs are down. Shelf thingy sold for £35. Tutee coming this evening £25.

    This will not dent the overspend.

    My dear husband suggested I buy yesterday's horse for myself (remind me next time I complain what a cool guy he is).
  • He sounds a sweetie. But maybe, like mine, a tad extravagant!
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D
  • Not much concept of money.

    Mine is permanently trying to de-rail any frugal plans of mine! :D

    Which c25k app are you using, shs? - I tried several but probably preferred the NHS one which has a choice of coaches (inc Sarah Millican(?) - the comedienne) x

  • That one. I chose Sarah Milligan as my "coach". The timer doesn't work.
  • Puppylove is having an op today. Cue great confusion when not the standard one but FIVE flying leaps onto our bed failed to produce breakfast.

    She was happy enough in the vet's waiting room but had to be carried (by two of us) into the consulting room where she went flat as a pancake on the floor. No amount of "what stunning amber eyes you've got" would win her over.

    Poor little thing! Looking forward to tales of petting and forgiveness :)
