So, I broke my ankle about 2 weeks ago. Badly. Tibia and fibula both broken, tibia displaced and a ligament ruptured. I was in surgery the next day and pinned back together. I'm under no illusions that my recovery will take a while. I'm strictly non weight bearing for 6 weeks and I image my...

Thank you - I suspected as much but my brain is whirling and I just wanted another opinion. I have contacted the seller to arrange a viewing. I'll take the cash with me so I don't have to make the journey twice!

I'm interested in a trailer that's advertised on facebook but its quite a long way from me and viewing/collecting it would entail a 7 hour round trip. Would it be very cheeky to ask if the seller would meet me halfway? I'd hate to end up on the 'ridiculous posts you see on facebook' thread!

I think the reason you are getting no response is that there simply won't be anything available in Aberdeenshire to match your criteria and budget. A decent 3 bedroom house with land will be about £250,000+ and anything in a particularly desirable area or attached to a particularly nice property...

Thank you both - Hayfield it is then. :)

And once more before I give up for good... :)

Just thought I'd give this a quick bump in case there's anyone who's in the know about this evening :)

I'm moving back to Aberdeen after a number of years absence and I was wondering if anyone could give me a recommendation for a riding school? Was thinking it'd probably be between Hayfield and Oldfold - any opinions on which is better and why? Or any other suggestions? Thanks.

Wow. That's a couple of hours of my life that I'll never get back and all I have learned is that the two Dutch ragwort enthusiasts seem to have a very flimsy grasp of what 'panic' and 'hysteria' actually mean. Possibly the most bizarre thread I've ever read on here. :confused::confused:

Well, just to go against the flow I'm with jhoward. I'm not saying for a minute that the OP isn't telling the story exactly as it happened but it always makes me intensely uncomfortable when someone on here 'vents' about a loaner/ sharer. It may make the poster feel better but I always like to...

Does anybody know what time (British time) Nicola is due off? I'm trying to work out what I can fit in when!

^^ Au contraire, in Scotland, the Outdoor Access code definitely covers horse riders and it covers almost all land - see this page for exclusions: http://www.outdooraccess-scotland.com/outdoors-responsibly/your-access-rights/ I'd still ask first though - it's only polite. :)

That's what'll have done it. Certain browsers save any log ins and passwords used in their settings page. It was very wrong of him to do that. The fact that he felt the need to suggests to me he knows there are problems with the yard and snooped expecting to find something - much like a...

I have the opposite problem. If given half a chance my dog will crawl onto my bed and happily stay there inert until well into the afternoon. :rolleyes:

Well it'd be a very difficult feat at BE as if you get more than 24 jumping penalties in the SJ you're eliminated...
