Title: Where did the weekend go!!!!
Post by: Kitchen Cottage on September 22, 2013, 07:37:58 pm

Between cleaning animals, picking things up, meeting people here, tidying up (very roughly) and exercising my horse.... the weekend has disappeared :(  I have the week from hell at work coming up and am only just cooking food for my neighbour now (elderly and needs a little help sometime.... my sole relaxation time was an hour of GBBO.... Bluddy hell. sometimes it feels one step forward and two back.... and I read other peoples posts and I feel too incompetent to own animals :(

Pleased to report got half the ewe's "pallet" city erected to 2013 design - they seem to approve so far. Will skive tomorrow if weather is good and get on with it as I know these good weather days are going to run out.


Please note I work for myself so no employer will be hard done by.
