Just an absolute moan really!
I've left my parents home for 'real' and not just for university this time. I've been happily plodding along in a dead-end job that was supposed to be this big career changing, high prospect, just down right amazing opportunity and in reality.... I can't afford to live. I've been spending every last pence on every pay cheque and then more. And now (may be Ive just grown up and smelt the coffee?!) I just realise I can't afford my horse, my 4x4 and having my own house.
If something goes wrong, and the horse needs emergency vet treatment - God forbid - how the hell will I afford it? Yes, I've got savings and good savings at that for my age (I'm 21!) but I can't keep dipping into that. I also need a life and possibly some new underwear! And not worry about where the next farrier money will come from.
So reality check - horse is being sold. Im heart broken. I adore this horse. I've never been without a horse. What the hell will I do at 6:30am in the morning... Sleep in?!
One day, when I'm rich (well, if I win the lottery, which I have a significantly higher chance of doing at this rate) then I'll have a horse again.
For now, I'll dream of the day that I'll be competing at the level I've always wanted to be at and forget that my baby is leaving next week :'(
