    Trying to rehome

    I was just going to say the same thing, I see plenty who are cat savvy. Easy dogs. Mine loves and is terrified of my cat in equal measure!

    Shetland pony - water

    My nf drinks a minimal amount in the stable. She’ll sometimes drink 2/3 of a bucket and nothing else in stable for a week. She’s only in about two hours a day but the WB always drinks in stable…..

    Advice needed! Possible relocation to the Highlands

    Um, my tax is less than £4 a month more than same pay in England but I get free prescriptions ( as everyone does) …. The deliveries can be a pain but I use Royal Mail/ po and I don’t buy stuff if it’s ridiculous delivery. Amazon prime works well. I go to London fairly often and although a day...

    Advice needed! Possible relocation to the Highlands

    I tend to think the west coast highland midges taught the borders ones how to do it! Daughter doesn’t see too many (near Lairg) but you need to be aware…. Services are available but you can’t be picky and I think nancykitt is well into proper Highlands. She’s probably better able to do the...

    Advice needed! Possible relocation to the Highlands

    It’s not the easiest geography to keep horses, daughter is here, on a rural estate and spends a lot of time managing horses- the weather is not always kind, the growing season is short, it’s not easy to get good grazing going.

    Are people too busy to be courteous?

    One of the realities of entry level job search is that something usually has to give, in this case , I would be raising the issue of location OR job type if you really want to get a start. I absolutely endorse following a dream but blimey, it’s unusual for all the planets to align at this point...

    Are people too busy to be courteous?

    Hi, if she Googles Apply for universal credit, she’ll go to the .gov website. It’s really straightforward, she’ll then get an appointment to go into a Jobcentre to prove ID, passport, driving licence, bank card etc. She’ll then get a First Commitment appointment where she meets a work...
