I went yesterday and was surprised by how poor the shopping was. I don't have a horse to buy for, but I saw no decent discounts or offes anywhere. Half the hall seemed to be taken up with giant lorries and boxes....who goes to hoys for the day and impulsively buys a new lorry just because they...

So, I've had little maya for almost 3 months now and she's certainly settled in well! She likes to go out exploring, but only when I'm in and can leave the door open for her. We have lots of cats in the neighbourhood so I invested in a £50 microchip cat flap that is currently just decorating my...

Well, it took her all of about 30 seconds to settle in! Hid very briefly then sniffed around before demanding attention. She's definitely a lap cat, which is fine, and she's already definitely 'my' cat, which is good, because, well she's my cat! She's said hello to everyone visiting but come...

Thanks both...not sure how I'm supposed to sleep tonight!

So, going to pick this little cutie up tomorrow morning! 18 moth old little girl called Maya! She has the most beautiful bright green eyes! Sorry for the pretty rubbish photos but that's all I could manage when I went to visit! The first one was from when she was first there, so pretty terrified.

Thanks for the advice...sorry for silence from this end...I've been working nights! I thought about getting two, but don't want the financial responsibility of that at the moment. Neighbourhood already has a lot of cats, so definitely going to invest in a microchip cat flap. Need to sort that...

Hi, seriously considering rehoming a cat from the local rescue centre. I've never had a cat before, always dogs, but now I'm living on my own ive decided a cat is the way forward! What do I need to know? Shopping list before hand? Any particular schemes that are good for vaccs and flea/worm...

Aha...found it eventually for anyone that's interested! https://results.hippodata.de/2018/1587/docs/start_eventing_cross_country_vers_1.1.pdf

Can anyone find the cross country times for today? I'm watching it on the red button but would like to know who's going when so i can get on with some other bits! I'm finding the Tryon website most uncooperative!

Yes that was very kind of them! Thanks BBC!

Typical, dashed for wee and missed what happened with Caroline Powell! Assume she had an altercation with spectators and string?

Can't suggest specific yards but i know if you drive around the Claverdon/Norton Lindsey areas there are quite a few large nice looking yards. Also one near Snitterfield. Sorry i realise that's not actually much use...but the thought was there!!

We stayed in a holiday cottage that had a sonic repeller. Didn't know what it was, and unplugged it half way through the week to use the socket. Went in the kitchen the next day to find mouse poo all over the side, and a draw full of chewed up silver foil! Realised what we'd unplugged, plugged...

Do century wellies still exist? My mum is DESPERATELY trying to find a new pair! Only one pair (size 3!) left on welly warehouse!

I'm thinking exactly the same thing. I've not ridden for ages because unless somebody has an elephant to ride i'd feel awful sitting on it! And i'm off that week and looking for something to do!
