Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you have all had a fabulous day!

Hello everyone! So we had a fantastic Christmas this year, getting round to see all the family on both my side and my partners side, got some lovely prezzies and this year it's all useful stuff, lotions and potions that I will use, some perfume from the other half and some walking books of the local area, on and a money pit! This is our holiday savings pot and any cash we received went straight in there! Had a lazy pj day today watching films, just popped out this morning and this evening to sort the pony out, so all is well!
On that subject, I have come to the decision to sell my lovely pony (sob...), I love the pony to pieces and she really is perfect for me, but I have had enough of the horsey people I have to deal with, the local scene where u am is so b*tchy and nasty, I've had enough, been feeling like this for a while and just think, although I live seeing my horse everyday the drama surrounding going to the stables is dragging my mood down, there have been additional rules in forced at the yard recently and it's making things even more difficult for those of us who have full time jobs to ride our horses during the week. I would move her to a different stables but in all honesty, my heart tells me I need a break from horses, having had them for the past 15 years. It will break my heart to sell her, but I do think it's the best decision as long as I can find her a nice new home of course! Anyway, those are my thoughts today, I shall update you all again soon x

So, today has been a no spend day woo! But none of the items I had for sale on eBay sold, booooo! Will have to try again, I don't want to reduce the prices anymore as I don't want to give my stuff away! I started gathering other things to ebay so need to do pictures and get them on there tomorrow, although will have to work around going to the cinema with my OH, going to see star wars and luckily we will be spending a voucher he got for his birthday so should be free, yey!!! I have told a few of my friends about selling the pony and they all said they would ask around to see if anyone was looking, and I have drafted an advert to put online, just need some up to date pictures to go with it before I post, again, I am gutted but really do think it is for the best. Anyway, am off to change into my comfy pjs before putting a film on and eating some trifle that I brought home from my mum's house, she had us for tea so am pretty stuffed, but there must be room for trifle?!

Good luck on your journey and Merry Christmas, will be reading your diary updates.

Thanks Millions, hope you have had a good Christmas too?!
Made an extra payment to the credit card today, I will update my signature when it's arrived in my MBNA account.
Had a good clean of the house after a lie in this morning and managed to get the pony ridden in the daylight, live being off work and getting to see her in the day! In fact, better get going to give her some more food, that pony can tell the time I'm sure!
Didn't get round to going to the cinema but we are going in the morning instead, hoping that we will avoid too many people if we go for the 9.15 showing, we are so antisocial hahaha! Relished those items that didn't sell the other day as well today, need to put some more things on that would clear some space! Does anyone know of a good site for selling books? Got loads I would like to get rid of?!
hoping everyone else is having a good MSE day?!

Hi tradcob, such a shame to hear you're potentially selling your pony, it sounds like you love her! I'm hoping to find a horse share towards the end of next year with any luck myself. Happy mse'ing!

Morning all! So, I have updated my signature with my new total, I'm loving the numbers going down ��I think today is going to be an eBay day, as it's chucking it down outside, not really what we need but I'm thinking about those people, who have already had to deal with flooding a few times this month! Need to pop out and muck the pony out then a day of listing things on ebay whilst watching films I think, oh and taking the christmas decorations down, I usually wait until new years day, but I think I'm in a sorting out sort of mood! Hope you all are well and staying safe with the weather out there!

Happy New Year everyone! I know I'm a bit late but been so busy! Went out on new years eve with the family for a meal wich my dad decided to pay for which was great, I wasn't drinking as you know when you've just had enough over the Christmas period, well I was at that stage! So I used the cash I had taken out which was supposed to be for the meal and used it yesterday when mum, sister and I went to a show, which was a Christmas present from my brother, is drove us, I paid for our tea, and I did buy a tshirt and a programme, yes not really needed, but I used the cash from new years so I figured, it was planned money out anyway. M please to say that a couple if my things on ebay gave bids on them, so that will all go to the CC. Back to work on Monday, so will be able to get some overtime in. But right now, I'm going to go watch a film with the oh and kitties, see you later x

Oooo bonus, just got given £2 for filling 2 buckets full of horse muck for an old chap that wanted it for his garden, I was happy to do it anyway and didn't expect anything for it but he insisted, so that's gone straight into the christmas 2016 pot ��
