Re: not coping

Sounds like you are doing a wonderful job with him @outlander

We have never had any other pets besides dogs. Grew up with one and then when I moved out of home we got one.

I don't think that I will be able to stay up for the whole thing but am taping it so can watch it at another time anyway.

D does cook sometimes, she likes it. Will let her cook anytime she wants!! She is getting better at cooking lots of different things now. Tonight is rice and chicken curry.

Re: not coping

Oh I forgot my horse @outlander !!

Had her for about 5 years growing up and used to ride a lot. Haven't ridden for ages however.

When do you work next?

That is a good range of animals.

Re: not coping

I would love to go riding again @outlander I am sure there are some places around near where I live that do trial rides. Might look into it.

I do miss those days.

Thursday is a public holiday, so hoping you get more pay for it.

We are planning on going to the snow on Thursday for the weekend.

Re: not coping

theres lots of trail riding places around. im sure theres somewhere you could go. might be able to take D with you and have a mother daughter day. do something different now that shes older. something besides shopping and demolishing houses lol.

yep being public holiday i should get double rates.

going to the snow sounds good. one last trip before snow season ends i guess

Re: not coping

Yes it will be the last trip up to the snow for the season @outlander

There is still plenty of snow so should be good.

D has never ridden a horse before so might be a good experience to take her.

Growing up I was really into horses. Had pictures all around my room of them. Finally got one when I was about 13. Fun times!

So it should be double rates on Thursday. Friday is a public holiday here too because of the AFL grand final on the Saturday.

Re: not coping

might be a good shared experience then @Snowie maybe you will end up buying another horse to share!

we dont have friday as a public holiday but i have a feeling alot of people will be having thursday to monday off cause theyll all be watching the football!

In response to: Re: not coping

Re: not coping

I am sure a lot of people will take the Friday off work too @outlander

Will probably watch the grand final on Saturday but don't really care who wins.

If the snow is good I might ski then, normally a bit quieter on the slopes!
