Another blissful weekend of having 2 whole days to do whatever I wanted.
Sat had a lovely lie in, pottered about the stables all day then pottered about the mud all evening.
Sunday I got almost energetic and not only tided the living room but had a Big Clear Out of clothes, got rid of a lot of stuff I never wear or never will wear or had been hanging onto for years because I might wear it again but never did. I even made a whole pile of 'not sures' and tried them all on and got rid of over half of them too.
Yay for me! There is probably more that could go, but I think I did good. Next weekend I might try tackling the Boxes of Stuff that I never go near and see if I can get rid of a lot of that too. I am a terrible hoarder. Or to be more precise I am a very good hoarder ;p

After that Cleansing Exercise I called round to the sister and played with babies for a bit, then took a run down to Mum's to check all was ok while she's off gallivanting round Toronto and it all was. I have no idea what I'd have done if it wasn't actually ;p

Today half day from work to have riding lesson, which was Bloody Hard Work. Particularly since I had to do quite a bit of it with no stirrups. Oddly, I have a much better position without them, with them my legs get too far forward. Tho apparently this is partly the saddle as it's a hunting saddle and thus cut for a forward seat, so it's not *all* my fault, yay! However now I ache muchly.
Thank God for sports bras is all I can say tho. Took extra precaution (on the advice of the Lovely Bravissimo Lady) and wore it over a normal bra and it was amazing. Nothing moved ;p Of course I could hardly breathe (even after I loosened it a bit, originally had it on the last hook, but it felt like being back in

littlebluefish's corset), but still! Much more comfortable than usual. That was probably a bit of TMI, but there you go.

So now I am waiting for house and water to heat up so I can soak in a hot bath, possibly with Radox. And a Heyer novel. And maybe some chocolate. Bliss!

Now I have a mental image of you on the horse in my corset....

*stares into space*

We might be over for christmas after all..

Do take pictures while you are, in that case!

I am reminded, now, that I should throw things away, too. I am also a terrible hoarder, in that same enantiodromic sense of "terrible".

It is oddly cathartic doing it. Tho a big wrench at the same time, it's a good reminder that it's all just *stuff* at the end of the day.

Heh there is no way I could even get onto the horse in that contraption, never mind actually ride!

But ooh, christmas you say?

Having just looked at the prices and been bought back to life, there is no way.

£400 for the cheapest flight into Belfast, £150 to Dublin but then expensive getting to belfast stuff...meh.

400? ouch :/ There is an airbus thingy from the airport to belfast that only costs about 5 quid. or maybe 10.

Link please!

We hoard too. And there's two of us. And between us there is no such thing as cleansing because we end up convincing each other that this weird plaited shirt from ten years back will have its uses, like for dress-up or rags or something!

But we too have come to terms with this.

So we decided to buy a REALLY BIG HOUSE :P Now if we only could find it...

I have just me and I've managed to pretty much fill a 3 bedroom house ;p
Some day I will take a week off work and clear out. Honestly ;p
I need a week because every time I start I find Interesting Things, like old letters or magazines, and get totally sidetracked.
