Ecstacy! I have rugs!!!!!!!

[Bounty]

Have just started the mammoth task of cleaning up the stables, which I was finding a rather desolate experience.

BUT......

In the corner of the spare stable I had a pile of rugs chucked down in a heap to come up to the house for washing. On top of these I had spread all my heavy woollen day rugs as they had gotten fousty and needed to go and be cleaned......

Oh, how much I love those heavy, smelly things!

With the exception of one, those rugs have been destroyed, but underneath them the majority of the washing pile is unscathed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I now have reclaimed a couple of fleeces, a couple of stable rugs, a couple of cotton summer sheets and a LW turnout, and a pair of brushing boots

They are sodden, and smelly, and mine, mine, mine!

Very sad I know, but uncovering a handful of my familiar things intact was just brilliant, as I genuinely wasn't expecting to find anything usuable. It's enough to make me feel lucky, even when stood next to the towering heap of remains of the rest of my things.

Oh brilliant haha, im pleased you found them !

Makes all the difference to have found something unscathed x

I read that as "Ecstacy! I have DRUGS!!!"

I'm so glad you've managed to recover some of your stuff. It must be lovely to salvage even a few things of your own

How comforting. Must be awful trying to clear up

 

[scotsmare]

Bounty I don't envy you the clearup operation but glad you found something useful

 

[Bounty]

LOL PF, trust you!

The rugs I've found are just shitty old ones that , in the scheme of what I have lost, I didn't give a sh*t about. Though now, having actually still got them, I am SO pleased to see them!

The worst bits are the things that are damaged beyond use, but that I don't have the heart to chuck out just yet. There's quite a lot of things that fit into that category

p.s. To those that have PM'd, I WILL get round to replying, honestly!

I can imagine how pleased you are just to have a handful of old rugs that are yours.

Good luck with the clear up - you never know what else you may find!

 

[hellspells]

That (in what you must have been feeling recently) must make you feel so much better.

So happy for you hun xx

 

[Rana]

You must be so pleased

Hope you find a few other bits, and don't forget to post a list of anything you need (of course you'll want new stuff once the insurance comes through, but anything we can help with to keep you going...)

Oh M! That must be such a light for you.

I have loads of pony size headcollars, leadrops, and 5ft3/5ft6 (and smaller, but I doubt you need them) rugs if you require anything.

 

[Gingernags]

Have you got a list of things yet that you need to replace as I'll have a dig about, but if we get a list up and stickied, we can send you bits and pieces you need most - buckets and headcollars and the like? Then you won't end up needing to car-boot the duplicates!

Those poor destroyed rugs... I know how addicted I am to rugs that would have been torture for me, but I'll donate spares of the fruits of my addiction if you need them.
