I feel really crap tonight. When I was mucking out the horse and pony earlier.. alone again .. I got hit on the face by the electric fence gate spring when trying to open the gate as I was trying to empty the barrow. Hurt so much I got all girlie and cried.

Sometimes I feel it's all a bit much... I've not been well lately and doctors don't know why. I work full time and long hours, my daughter has lost interest in her pony so I have to look after him ( love him dearly so there you go) he has laminitis so hard work. Chicks ready to hatch so excited but worried. 1 hen is showing signs of being sick and every time I dare to mention getting a little help from my OH I'm told this is my dream not his.. Love him dearly and he makes all the animal housing and does fencing etc. But day to day no chance of assistance. I guess he's right this is my dream to have a small holding he's a city boy but it'd be so nice to have a little help now and again.
Winge over sorry...

Helen keep your chin up, sending you a hug...

A long hot soak in a bubble bath with a glass of red wine followed by an early night is called for me thinks.

Tomorrow is a whole new day. 

[Dangermouse]

Yep a glass of nice red wine and a long soak in a hot bath with loads of bubbles (not the farty ones  I should add)

Chin up

Helen cannot help but laugh at part of your misfortune I know I should not but are you out to out do Karen and I ? Can you remember the story? Are we a select Trio? Hope you feel better tomorrow and things come better for you XXX You deserve another X George and Kath Remember only Anne Marie gets four!

Oh Helen, I know how you feel. It will all be better tomorrow, but it does get on top of you at times. Tell him, yes its your dream, but some help occasionally would be nice. Even just a nice cuddle when you come back inside and making you a cup of tea! It gets on top of me sometimes too, as I feel I do more than anyone else, and I'm the only one who works full time.

Have you thought about maybe advertising for free help in return for - pony rides, eggs, fresh air and exercise? And you'd get a bit of company too. It's true that a trouble shared is a trouble halved - once you get it off your chest, it usually doesn't seem so bad, but when you're on your own, things always seem worse.

Hope tomorrow's better.

Oh, have you tried high dose magnesium for the laminitic pony? A friend of mine used it with great results - I'll see if she has the recipe if you want it.

Your OH chose you and so your dreams!!!! I guess a lot of couples like different things, all you want is support so ask him (when he is off his guard) what his dreams are? then, depending on what they are, ask how   you could help him furfil his dreams< they add...so why carn't you help me sometimes with mine..they are a reality!!!!! Sometimes you have to see the funny side

big hug Helen, And I know exactly how you feel (so don't think its just you and yours!)
and theres nothing wrong with a girlie cry now and again...

But we are poo (its true)

[HappyHippy]

I just wanted to send you a hug

I'm sure once you're feeling a bit better things will be fine. Things that don't usually bother me too much become really hard to deal with when I'm tired or emotional (which, with the pregnancy is LOTS lol!) Sending all my love & best wishes.

And I would have to agree with Dangermouse - men are poo !
But they've got their uses
