Ugh. I hate this time of year. Always bloody gets me down. But I'm being optimistic and attributing it to whoremoans, which is probably what it is.

Anyway, went on Saturday to Bristol to pick up Becky and Giles. It was a verrrry long car journey, especially on the way back...Sunday involved recovering. Also riding, in which I got pissed off (don't ask). I've really missed that. Not. Have now been pushed into little sister role again. Gurr.

Went to Hinckley today for my head-doctoring (no, not the same as having the cat doctored), and also shopping. Oh and took Shannon out in the afternoon. Was great, apart from Shannon's decision to bolt up the track with me because he saw a bus. Cantering on mud almost scared me (*flexes muscles*).

Also had one of those chain letters through from some evangelical *friends*. Absolutely hilarious. "This year, we went to every single country in the world. Ever. Here are some pictures of us looking sun-burnt and moronic, for which we could be in Southend-on-sea, and, in fact, probably are, but we want to intimidate you and make you feel as if you're wasting your life by not being us. Also, our adorable sonnikins Gawain split the atom in July, using only a paper cup. He also managed to become honorary Supreme Leader of the entire World, but we don't like to talk about that. Even though we just did. Hoping this finds you well, although hopefully not as well as us, because then we can't lord it over you, Glenda and Mattias."

Don'tcha just love Christmas.

This is going to be very moany. Forewarned and all that....

*Lauches*

Am very very tired. I believe sleep deprevation is a form of torture...And it's the time of the year when I wonder why I have horses. And then remember that I'm a masochist. Seems to be worse this year, though. Probably because having to work harder at school.

Am also vair pissed off with Mr Melon. The essay I got back from him, fair enough, I'm not disputing the C/D. But even when I wrote stuff which was apparently good, he put things like "Finally!". And no praise. Dammit. I mean, it wouldn't be so bad, but I got a B with a big arrow up from Dr Eadie, and a lot of really positive comments etc from Mrs Goodwin. *fumes*

Oh well. Tis fun to be able to spend a lot of time with friendies. Even if it is around lessons.

What have I been doing today? Oh yes- went hacking with Shan, which was fun, except we went down a bridleway and it was really overgrown. It's narrow at the bet of times, and there'a ditch at one side and barbed wire at knee (when you're on a horse) height, and shannon was eating the whole time- there was grass etc at his nose height. Heheheheheh. But had a funfunfun few gallops, which was good.

And then revised odyssey for the rest of the day. I think I may be allergic to the Greek alphabet; every time I see it, I end up short of breath and with hives. Hmmmm. Also, swallows have opened eyes! They are very very cute. Although the hay has not arrived! Gah. It had better arrive tomorrow, else we are not going to have enough, and I don't know what the hell we'd do then. Fingers crossed. Oh and found phone (had been missing all day)- had dropped it in the field. Good job it's a *robust* one....It got rained on several times. Ah well, hasn't gone on strike yet. I don't need robust, I need pony proof, thinking about it, as they like the taste of phone.

But anyway, discovered some loverly texts- thanks ellie. And also Helen, who used to be a teacher at mum's school, suggesting we do some endurance together (she has a horsey called del, who is veyr very sweet and deer-like). So that should be good.

Night all xx

Life is so shite. Just found out that a mutual friend- who has been ill for a bit- has died. Shite. RIP Dave

Just realised I accidentally did this as a private post.....

Groooovesome day. Went into Hinckley this morning- the chav and his partner were out (as opposed to the world and his wife), but was fun all the same. Spent far too much money again, ah well. Got a new phone- £25 nokia, *robust* apparently, very very basic (stop sniggering). If I get an expensive one I'll only lose it. I'll end up losign this one as well, but at least I won't feel as guilty. Anyhoo, then went into Boots and tried on lots of foundations etc. Accidentally ended up with one metallic blue eye and one metallic green! But got some niiice oil-fee foundation, and some very spangly nail polish. And then went to noo look (scottish dont'y a know), and accidenatlly bought a PINK TOP. Going scarily girly here. And a groovy brown one too. As I say, far too much money. Also, anti frizz stuff (have to see how it goes) and some brightly coloured hair thingies.

Pretended to revise history this afternoon. I know all my crises etc now. In my defence, I kept having to shove the cat off, and then she crept behind me and tried to steal my chair. Also my drink. Poor Reg is feeling a it sorry for himself- he's been in a nasty fight, and has an abcess on his face. Left pus everywhere this morning, but we took him to the vet's and now we have to get pills down him. (For those of you without cats, this is akin to painting the Forth Bridge, except worse, because at least the bridge doesn't spit the paint out). And now Giles is here, so i have to knock on all doors before going through. *cackles* I didn't once....Also, I have to play the goosleberry seemingly constantly.

Anyhoo, that is my fab life as it stands. Must push off to bed now as have EQUINE MASSAGE COURSE TOMORROW WITH OTHER IH PEOPLE YAY!!!! I am quite excited.

Rememeber to brush your teeth everyone.
