    There is maybe hope I may one day own a horse of my own then? 😂 I swore I would own one by 25. Nearly 20yrs on still haven't managed it. Not ridden properly since I was pg with the girl 17yrs ago either. One day, maybe.

    Those horses are gorgeous. 
    I like your plan to get one again. It is never too late!
    I hope your mum can make it. I think itll be lovely for you both to get out.
    Sorry you're not feeling so good. Hope you're feeling better soon xoxo

    Just popping in before bed. I've not got much to report to be honest. I'm still not feeling too good😟I had to leave work early yesterday and go to bed, I was in so much pain I didn't know what to do apart from curl up under my duvet. I haven't done much today apart from some washing. I'm working a long day tomorrow so I'm hoping when I wake up things will have improved🤞🤞🤞I have two days off after tomorrow so I'm looking forward to that
