    Ok from other thread...

    Does Pigpen let her blood alcohol levels drop enough to get a hangover? YES!!.. lol.. SOMETIMES!!

    I have done today... uhm.... not very much, but I have an excuse! My internet was down and I was lost without Pigpens Fluffy Feather Duster of Bum-kicks! Nice to see you back.. *KICK!!!!*

    Went to see my Mum and Dad. Dad wasn't in, he was moving Connie the horse to a new stables (actually her old one). Poor mare is skinny and has been locked in a stable for god knows how long, hence the move. She was 'out on laon', my Dad will never do that again she is a state, skinny depressed and very unfit. She is now in a big field with two boys and stuffing her skinny butt :D Boy horses wanted to play but Connie was like 'yeah right, naff off till i stuff my face, THEN I might play!'. Bless her.. I'd go give those who were supposed to be caring for her a kicking as well.. poor neddy.. hope she is better soon.. and I hate horses.. they terrify me.. but I'd hate to see one not being cared for

    My Mum has the new wii fit, and OMG!!! I am so getting it!!!! My wii fit age is the same as my real age, 27, but it says I am obese... but on the plus side, it says I am 93kg! So I can bin those useless scales upstairs and buy the new wii fit and go woohoo I have totally lost 2kg in the past 2 weeks! :j I may have to invest!

    Spose I had better go do something before Pigoen sees me sitting here gabbing about horses....

    SEEN YOU!!!!
