Anyone for tea? - this is addictive (the forum, not the tea)

[pollyrowell01]

I came on here this morning with a cup of tea just to see if anyone had been kind enough to share their wisdom about boots.... Was delighted to see that they had - thanks to those who advised.

Now find myself browsing through things that are a complete mystery, almost in a foreign language... Oh how I wish I become more horsey at an early age (i.e. before I reached my 40's!!).
It is addictive though and it's now an hour and a half on, my laptop battery is running out and I need more tea! Out of bed and off to the kitchen, anyone want a cuppa?

it is pretty addictive. i'm on maternity leave and bored senseless as too fat and leaky to do anything... so i LOVE it

 

[jesterfaerie]

Believe me it will become even more addictive soon!

Presumably anyone who is online now is not at school....does that mean we are all over 18, either at work doing this or like me on a few days off ?(now with that extra cup of tea)...

Clipclopop, congratulations and how lovely, you can spend all day on here without feeling guilty! I am starting to feel guilty now as have a dissertation to write and should really be getting on with it.

Yep over 18 & should be working but bored witless as all up to date - shouldn't complain really

I'm 28 and on my day off! nice lay in until 8.30 (back to work at 4.30am tomorrow). Have a cup of tea, cereal and last weeks birthday chocolate at hand! I love this forum because you get replies so quickly to anything you post which is nice!

Lol - me too. Most of the office are out in a workshop so I'm taking advantage and catching up on HHO.

My dilemma of the day - I'm doing an 8am jumping lesson at my stables on Saturday. Do I also join a 9am advanced flat lesson or will I be too exhausted? Then again, I would have the rest of the day to run a hot bath and soak in it for hours...

 

[pollyrowell01]

Go for both, I say. Life's too short not to cram into it as much as possible. I'm still stiff from a hockey match on Sat (thighs won't go up or down stairs at the mo) but I'm off to perfect my canter this afternoon at 3pm. Lovely sunshine now over London, can't wait......am only just resisting the urge to put my jods on now in anticipation.

 

[j1ffy]

I was thinking the same..! Riding tonight as well. Bankruptcy is probably more of a risk than exhaustion

Whereabouts in London are you? I'm working in Reading today and it's still cloudy here

 

[pollyrowell01]

I'm out on the border of south east London and Kent on Shooters Hill. Had a fantastic sunny lesson today, canter goodish when I get going its the transition that's oooh so ropey at themo. Perseverence required methinks.
