robinsons catalogue

[twigs]

just got your horse mag with the robinsons catalogue in it, question is...how on earth do you horse owners find the will power not to go mad buying?
I dont have a horse, but have ordered 2 pairs Jods boots a hat cover, a mug, and other wee things which are totally unsessessary!
god knows how much I would have spent if i had a horse
Dont think Id take advantage of there monthly payments though, the interest is huuuge!!

i must be the only horse owner who doesnt get these catalogues.

i dont go on outings to tack shops to spend my money either (perhaps mines a bit rubbish cos its full of tat but then again so are the catalogues)

nah, i just dont get it im afraid.

Tis quite easy- if you have virtually no money, and really important things to spend the money you do have on (silly litle things like mortgage, council tax, electricity bill, etc), then you either control your spending on numnahs and cute browbands, or you end up homeless!

 

[twigs]

ok, silly question then

My horse catalogues live in the loo- they are great fantasy reading!! I like reading them and planning what I WILL buy for Ella when i win the Lottery!

Mine do too! If I find something I like I always see if it is cheaper somewhere else on the net

That's where mine live too . I can very easily avoid spending money in those catalogues - the money quite simply isn't there to spend ! I'm a pauper and I tend to rely on presents from my mother for my horsey gear .

me and my friends used to go through them and make lists of everything we needed ...(ok, wanted ) but when we added up cost of it all, we found it easy to resist hehe

When you have a horse, you don't have the money to spend in the catalogues. Simples!

Easy - You just shut your eyes when you pay and don't check your bank balance for a month

Personally the Robinsons catalogue no longer tempts me and I can even drive down the M6 without having to call in.

Too much of their own brand stuff, there are better ones out there now

its the first cata;ogue I have seen, so its as well i dont have a horse as i thought it was reasonable
best kept in the loo then

Yeah i agree. It used to be good years ago,now it's just full of cheap rubbish in stupid colours/patterns.

I much prefer going and spending money in my local saddlery.

i used to love robbies about 7/8 years ago, when it was quite new - was about the only place i could get stuff from! loved it - now they have gone too much towards requisite imo...

again-very easy to resist when you're skint and can only just affoprd the petrol to go see the hoss..
