    I am so sorry to read this, it must be absolutely gutting. Like you say I am sure she will realise the difference you make in the future.

    Do you think you can find something else to ride to get your equine fix? 

    Is a horse on the cards for when you are debt free? 

    Very impressed with you painting the bathroom, that’s great!

    thanks @EchoB, if I really want to ride I will go to a riding centre, I certainly don't want to get involved with someone else after this. Once debt free my own will be a possibility, at the moment just going to take a break and see what I feel like. 

    So opps! I missed my Friday update......not that there was much to report anyway  :joy: 10 days from pay day, have money to last me through and just waiting to get to survey pay out targets, them seem to be taking ages. Weight has remained stable even though I was super good in what I ate the first part of last week...….unfortunately I then saw the new fella thurs, fri and sat and whilst we didn't eat really poorly I wasn't exactly strict so its balanced out :neutral: plan to walk much much more this week to counter act any meals I may have with him :lol: 
    Other than that I have no other news to report, all is quiet (thankfully) in my world at the moment. 
    hope everyone has had a good weekend, looks like we have some nice weather coming through this week :smile:

    These men have a lot to answer for 😂
    at least it wasn’t a gain!
    It’s so nice having 10 days until payday without the feeling of dread!

    @EchoB these men do have a lot to answer for, although after being good this week I'm doing ok as I'm 2lbs down from Monday, he has been told I can't keep doing takeaways though :lol: 
    thanks @lucielle, as sad as I am that I'm going to be horseless for a bit I know I need the time to adjust and make the right decision about what I want to do. 
    So Friday update, a week till payday and have more monies than expected left, yay! Have cashed our £10 from a survey site but that has been trundled into my get stairway painted pot, all of upstairs has now been refreshed but I just can not reach the stair walls so I have a chap coming to quote for that today, I can't see it being much and its a bit annoying that I cant do it myself but these are the things that happen when you're on the short side :joy: 
    Other than that I don't have anything else to report …..sorry for being so boring :neutral: 
    Hope everyone has had a nice week, will read diaries to see, and that you have a fab weekend!

  • Well done on having money left. I had to pay someone £50 to paint the very top of our stairwell. I managed to do all but the last 10cm 😂 was sooooo frustrating, but while he was up the ladder I got him to do the ceiling too. Was £50 well spent for decent cutting in, I am not great at that. 

    Sad news about the horse, but something else will crop up I am sure.

    Good Morning all! Happy Friday! 
    Missed my Monday update, did come on to update and then got distracted and forgot all about it. Not really much to update on though haha 
    So my week has been a bit meh while I adjust to a new routine without the horse, this has lead me to eating a lot of stuff I shouldn't, oops! Next week I will have to give myself a kick up the backside and get out and do a bit more :neutral: 
    Payday today so 2 payments left on target loan and then it will be just the one left yay! Hopefully will be saving some petrol money as I have used the car once since Sunday so I can see my petrol now lasting longer :smiley: 
    Don't really have anything else to update on sorry, its all been very boring with me, shall scoot along and have a look at peoples diaries today and see what I've missed out on! 
    Have a lovely day and hopefully a good weekend!

    afternoon all 
    didn't get around to posting anything last week mainly as nothing exciting has happened.  where I am is in a local lockdown so can't really go anywhere (although I am making the most of the local estate park and canal for walks), money is where is should be but I can see savings being made on petrol as I put my normal £10 in 10 days ago and am nowhere near needing to add anymore. 
    seriously all very boring with me sorry, really don't have much else to report. 
    hope everyone is well can see with my regulars your things are all ticking along and no major issues (well from what I've seen in your diaries?)
    have a good week!
