Bad Idea?

[Boodle]

Basically I was in my local tack shop and saw an Advert.

Background: I used to go to a Stables, I learnt to ride there, was put on mad ponies, had so much fun, learned so much and had the time of my life.

I went there for 4 years, my big sister worked there for 6.

At the end we were leaving to get our own pony (Trixie) and sincerely thanked my RI (though she is not qualified) for all she had done and all she had taught us. My sister continued to work there.

But after we had left it wasn't the same and we believe she thought we were being sarcastic/patronising in our thanks. Which we weren't! Since then, my sister stopped working for her as she became nasty and difficult.

Anyway, that was a good 10 years ago now. Since then we have no spoken to her. She closed for a few years and has recently opened back up.

She is now looking for a Saturday help for the childrens pony club that she has started running.

It sounds like something i'd love to do, even though the money's crap it would be great fun I think and would be lovely to be involved with the place again as I still love it.

What do you think? Should I phone her, have a chat and tell her I was interested in the job she has? Should I chance it?

Or do you think she'd just tell me to b*gger off?

only one way to find out..

definitley phone, as you say yourself the worst she can tell you to do is b*gger off. Would this be so terriable if you havn't spoken to her for the last ten years and if you do nothing about this probabley never will again. Therefore you have nothing to lose.

Sometimes in a relationship, if things go wrong for whatever reason, the only way to put them right again (if you want to that is!) is that SOMEONE has to be the "bigger person". By that I mean hold out the olive branch and let bygones be bygones. It sounds as if this could be a good thing for you so I guess you need to ask yourself whether you are able to do that? I'd go for it: give her one last chance by holding out an olive branch and see what comes of it. She might be feeling as awful as you! x

I could definitely do it! I don't have anything against her at all!

I'm just terrified I'll phone her up and she'll tell me to get to ****. And i'd probably get upset over it because i'm a big pansy!

Just give her a call you have got nothing to lose.
