I really meant it. It's not like too many major things happen to me but my life just seems to be one 'oh no' moment after another.
To put this in perspective, we are getting our kitchen done. Came in last week to find it flooding - one of the new pipes wasn't secure. Had to call my friend in at 10:30pm to try and fix it. Then, I saw all bubbles coming from another pipe - the gas pipe. So now we had a gas leak AND a water leak! They turned the water off downstairs to fix it so we only had an upstairs tap. When I went upstairs to get water I found a massive wasp thing flying around the bathroom angrily so I had to run away because I'm petrified of them and it was HUGE more like a hornet than a wasp (we get them quite a bit and turns out from talking to people there's most likely a nest in the loft - wonderful). So then I had my friend for the water, plumber for the gas pipe and pest control all trying to come round.
Anyway ... so I've been looking for a horse. On and off for about 1 and a half to 2 years now. So far had a very highly strung part loan, a wonderful cob that I couldn't ride because of circumstances at the place he was kept, and an absolute nutcase that put me in hospital after 2 weeks of owning him. And shattered my confidence. Anyway, I told myself 'go back to riding school, get your confidence up and then, if you want, look again.' That was working fine until another riding school in the area shut down. I now can't get a lesson even once a week, my next lesson is 3 weeks time! I love the riding centre and they've helped loads with my confidence but how am I going to keep it up if I'm riding once every 3 weeks for half an hour?! I'm absolutely heart broken as I was finding 30 mins a week wasn't enough but 30 mins a month is miserable. So now no horse and can't even have riding lesson once a week. And just as my confidence was starting to come back a bit. I suppose I better look for somewhere else to do them but it's a shame as I've just got confident with that yard / riding instructors and knowing what the routines and things are...
I think there might be someone looking over me saying 'no you don't!' Haha.
