I have done something terrible we were supposed to be going to hubby's friends something or other party I really couldn't be bothered said big horse looked 'colicy' he's never had colic nor prob never will but seemed like a great reason not to go he's gone with kids I'm eating beans on toast and looking at comp home nothing bad happens to the big horse because of my fib
 
I can't tempt fate with humans or animals, I am funny like that, like I can't swear on someones life if I am lying lol... but yep I will lie if I don't want to do something .. not to hubby tho xx

"Not a nice thing to do" is a bit harsh! The "tempting fate" thing is just superstition. some of us are superstitious, some aren't. I don't think niceness comes into it!

Fionaa its not nice to say shes not nice.:p

I know what she means, I am not superstitious, i walk under ladders blah blah, but dunno its different with health...
 
Use the horses to get me out of socialising with school friends haha. I did tell a massive LIE to my parents when I bought Blue and Aiiro, they got back from holiday and I said "Blue and the foal are coming back to the yard" "Oh that's nice, who bought them?" "Sue" at which point I made a hasty retreat to said yard. I got back home and mum had figured it out - I'm a useless liar. This was back in may. Dad didn't find out about them till last week, but mum told him she bought them so I don't get murdered :D

No, I didn't say anyone wasn't nice! i said niceness doesn't come into it. I said it was a bit harsh to say it wasn't a nice thing to do.....

I'm confused myself now.:confused:

HEHE that's nice, my mum and dad stick together like glue grrr lol
 
No I wouldn't dare, I'd feel too guilty, besides I just tell hubby if I didn't feel like it ....and still feel bad lol, but we are all different and deal with situations in differnt ways so I wouldn't beat yourself up about it now, if he went down with comic now it would be pure coincidence!, just try telling it how it is next time then you won't have to worry:)

If he went down with Comic, I wonder if it would be Dandy or Beano?:D
 
My OH once got out of doing something by saying our big horse was lame and we were waiting for the vet, he had to stay too in case the horse played up.
Went to get him in later, lo and behold hopping lame horse!!! Only time he ever had a foot abcess, spooky!!
 
Brilliant and real excuse after Christmas dinner (which I don't want anyway...) "I've got to go to muck out and get the horse in" also never worrying about being scruffy as "I've just been up the farm". Marvellous. I don't believe in fate, by the way!
 
would never lie about any animals/humans health - It has a nasty habit of coming back to bite you.

I have however said i need to go any muck out/get the horses in and so to relieve me of tiresome family events!
 
Horses have trashed some fencing, broken out, chaos reigning at the yard - depends how big an excuse I need :D Oh yes, I've just got back from the yard - so much to do at this time of year - nothing to do with the fact I decided to ride in the 20 minute window during which I should have been changing and getting ready to go out :rolleyes:
 
I purposely choose to muck out on christmas afternoon rather than the morning (which could easily be arranged.....) so I can cut the day short, get home and start enjoying christmas! (i.e. in that it's over with for another year!)

I muck out in the morning, do the obligatory visiting, then "must go and get the horses done before the light goes" then do horses, then get home and cook xmas lunch and open a large bottle of wine! xx
 
I do use the horses on christmas day - if annoying family members are still around..... just got to go and do the horses.... unfortunatly hubby knows that all i have to do is catch in do rugs and feed and i have been fetched back a few years with a rather stern phone call - and by the way its the only day i do what ime told :)
 
I used mine as an excuse to leave a wedding early that my boyfriend was bestman at - he even asked me to come up with something so we could leave straight after the breakfast!!

In fairness, horse was snotty as it'd had rained and there was a breath of wind and he'd caught a chill. Luckily, wedding party know nothing about horses so I said we'd have to leave as he's got a heart murmur too so I was fretful (he does have one by the way!) and they all nodded in sympathy.

We did go feed him carrots as a thank you for being a fib!! :D
