Are you strong enough to be my man?

la la la, don't you just love a little bit of Sheryl Crow...me a little too much since it has been on repeat since I came home at 5pm...
haha oh my.

today was dreaful! I was expecting to finish work around 2pm, I got given 4 houses to do, beds in two..7 beds, horrible!

then I didn't finish until 4 or so due to some waiting around and things in between properties. Oh well.

I have also done my back in again, sure hope it gets better, Chiropractor is expensiveeee :o last time it did help though. I am laying on my bed at the moment, trying to watch some clips on youtube but my internet is going terribly slow.

ALSO, hello joints like a 60 year old..!!

Ree was laughing at me recently when I knelt down and my attempt to get back on my feet was horrific, haha. I made the 'uhhmmmmhghh' noise you make when something is hard to do/hurts, I had to grab a hold of something and pull myself up! I have been like this since I stopped horse riding, Im thinking some vegetarian cod liver oil stuff to help me... yes

I am going to go now, Ree told me i should update this, so wahey, there you do :D

neigh

Yes I do, my friend mentioned yesterday 'how are you going to find the time to have a horse, work and have a social life' and I have figured it out.

7am - wake up, straight to field, feed, water etc.
8am - get ready for work
9am - work
5pm - finish work, cup of tea, go field
5.30pm - groom, ride/school, quick tidy up, cool down, feed
7pm - home, dinner, research (equine short course/general stuff) own time, see a friend or go out
11pm - sleep

If we didn't have to sleep it would be okay :D

I want sundays off to which would be used to have a proper clean at home + field, nice long ride, see family and have the whole evening doing nothing. haha, oh I want this life style now, not in a few months / in 8 months time! - depending whether I get into second year or not.

See this is why I am keeping back up plans, i write things down for everything.

Oh and I also realized working 9-5 six days a week is 48 hours which is quite alot...so maybe have another day off...that would be better, haha.

Ideally I am looking for a youngster that I can train...yes I can easily buy a horse for a grand that is around 10 years old and done a bit of everything, but I would love to be able to train my horse to be able to jump, do dressage and be a good all rounder. I have trained my 4 year old TB, she was backed but that was it, it took months to get her used to traffic, people, and being ridden but after a while she could happily hack out alone, walk over and around 'spooky' objects & jump quite nice. I only had her for about a year before she was put down due to a very broken leg :( she was skinny and crazy when I bought her home, then the last time I saw her she was a nice size, shiny coat, and calm...even when she was in so much pain, bless her.

BUT as I was saying...ideally a mare, just incase I want to breed her at any time. So if I manage to find myself a lovely filly/young mare that will reach 16-17hh would be perfect :D I have seen a few, one I saved to my bookmarks, absolutly gorgeous colt, han x shire for 850 :o
Ohhh I can dream (:

I am listening to some french music ( again ) and I am in a proper country mood, probably down to me watching horse movies today and last night, haw haw.

TIME FOR MORE BROWSING!

Learning spread sheets

Yes I am!

I have spent 5 hours now working on them, I have figured out how much it will cost me to have the initial start up of the horse (bridle, saddle, kit etc) but majority of it second hand/I have already :)

And I worked out how much it will cost per week, month and year!

Now I will await the 8 months until I can come home and get myself a horse, a new flat with Ree hopefully and a full time job :)

Time for Hollyoaks and coffeeeeee!

This week has been amazing

It really has, very good fun :) Been helping out with Nat and Leslie's wedding/ceremony week. Wednesday was the ceremony (legal part) where we all went to this nice little place, and took quite alot of photos (which i shall post below)

Once we came back there was a buffet and some drinks which was nice, we all ate a little too much though.
The rest of the week was helping put things together and such, tent went up on friday and it took 2 hours!! EFFORT. This was a more chilled night, Ree felt ill so she stayed at home whilst the younger people got drunk, but was quite entertaining watching them...apart from when Megan was sick outside and on the doorway of the tent. (horrible)

The next day we got up at 8am and walked to the house in the rain through the wet grass, showered and got ready, which felt amazing after camping! Louise and I walked upto the steeple slightly earlier to decorate the rails up there, and waited for the whole family and everyone walk up whilst Marcus (shetland) pulled the cart along with Nat and Leslie in.
All of us had to then sing some chants, sheema sheema, sheeemmmmaaa, sheemaaa....etc, and it was quite spirit felt.
Once back at the fields the music went on, the drinks poured and once again ate too much food.

When the sun went down, and after the band played a fight went on between two grown men, shouting words I wouldn't want to repeat, this had put a downer on the rest of the night.
After a good nights sleep (at the house) we had a bbq fry up of veggie sausages, eggs, pepper and bread which was quite nice, and took down everything and packed it all away.

Now I awake on the Monday, 9 hours sleep, most I have had all weekend, and it feels too much :)
