Gardening!

Well I said that I was going to do something creative today, when I said that I meant drawings, painting, card making or baking. Not gardening! This morning we went to Pc World for my brother to get a cable, when my mum got back she decided that she was going to cut our hedge so that it was easier for me to reverse in for when I get my car back! When we had done this we were all sitting around watching TV until my uncle got her, then my dad came in and when he came in, we took Angel for a walk. When we got back my mum and I went to empty a wheel barrow, she then saw that one of the bushes around our garden path needed trimming back and she said that I could do it. To start with I thought I'd make a mess of it but mum told me where I needed to start (at the bottom) and how much needed cutting off. This was a good idea because then as I got higher up I was able to keep the trimmed bits at an even level and not random bits sticking out.

I then went to get my dad to show my dad, and mum showed him the work she had been doing earlier in the day. She then said that she wanted to trim an apple tree that we had got, because when the apples grow on it the branches drop down and they would likely to hit my car. So while my mum was doing this I went back to pulling stuff up. I pulled all the Ivy that was left off the fence and the gates and then mum got me a hoe so that I could work on trimming back where there were weeds and over grown areas at the bottom of the fence leading in to our drive. Then also trimming the area back where my car goes so it will be easier to park when I get it back.

Now for an update on my car, I haven't heard anything about my car since Monday. It's now been gone for a month, what should have been a quick and simple job has turned in to a major saga, we left it with one garage and Nigel told us that it was a water pump and it would be ready soon, then it was a thermostat that needed fixing so he put that it, the it was a head gasket. Then it wasn't a head gasket, he could never make his mind up! Luckily we aren't paying for it it's being covered under my three months warranty by the garage that I bought it off! Eventually my car got moved to a second garage, at this garage they confirmed that Nigel had in fact made my car worse. It HAS had to have a new head gasket put on it, and the garage it is at now (is a mini and bmw specialist) has never known for a head gasket to go on a mini one 1.4 ever! Because of this they hadn't got the tools needed and it wasn't a tool that is kept on the shelf because it's never needed, so they've had to buy the tool and wait for it to be delivered to fix my head gasket. I have not heard anymore since Monday when we got told it would be the end of the week, so tomorrow mum is going to ring up to see how my car is doing and hopefully tomorrow or Friday I will have my car back! Fingers Crossed. 

Until Next Time

CON ARTIST - NICKI WILLIAMS - BEWARE

Okay so this post has taken me a while to post for several reasons but the main one being just how angry this woman has made me.  For those of you that have been following my blog for a long while you will know that back around October of 2016, I was introduced to a woman called Nicki Williams, she was a friend of a friend that was supposed to be opening a centre for rehoming and rescuing animals, but also for horses working with soldiers that has PTSD. We hit it off straight away and came what I thought to be good friends. However warning bells should have probably rang sooner. By January or February of last year the horses that I had agreed to look after (that she had got on loan) Bella and Arthur, she was being threatened that she would have them taken off her by the control of horses act, because she hadn't been paying the rent for the field. Although Nicki reassured me that she had done, she even showed my 'payments' that had been made to Angie. I ended up getti...

Picture time Part one

Hiya Guys,  I can't say that I've really done much today other than finding myself sleeping lots. After the past week being quite stressful as well as the few weeks before leading up to the court date it's safe to say I've hit my barrier where all I really want to do is sleep. The problem is though that I am sleeping during the day and then it gets to 11pm roughly and I find myself wide awake and on my laptop looking for something to do that is going to make me feel sleepy. I've tried reading a book and I start to feel really sleepy but then the minute that I turn the light off and put the book down, bang, I'm wide awake again.  As I've not really done a lot I thought that I would take this opportunity to post some pictures up from the last time that I jumped Gatsby (also the first time I fell off him). Most of these pictures were taken by the boyfriend but some were also taken by my amazing mum. So here you go guys. :)  Really do love this pic...

Decisions!

I hate them, this all started yesterday when my dad said that the money that I had got could buy me a decent mini as I love mini's and really want one, my instant reaction was NO that money is meant for my horse riding and for me to be able to buy my own horse! My mum then said to my dad that he should have known that, that was the reaction that he was going to get from me. However I then started to really think about the idea, a mini would allow me to go different places to do with riding and not have to rely on mum or dad or fit around my brothers schedule, it would then mean that when I did have my own horse I would be able to get to it. So I started to look around on the internet at used mini's as there is no way that I would be able to afford a brand new one, and I saw a few that were a reasonable price and that I liked the look of but then came the problem the Mini one is mainly a 1.6Litre Engine, which would be over £1000 in insurance, so I started to look for a Mini On...
