Hurrah!!! Santa has been and so far I'm the lucky owner of a rather fab pair of new Toggi boots and some new decent reflective gear for me and the boy!!! What's Santa bought everyone else??? Happy Christmas Horse and Hound forum!!!
 
There, fixed it. Glad you got some great presents! I'm about to open mine in bed. Not as lazy as it sounds as our house has no heating!

Probably... In my excitement my English has gone to pot... Good job I don't write letters to my clients in such bad English! Gosh I hate this forum.... Returns to lurking not posting!
 
Gosh you lucky people in the Stokes household my Mum has alway made sure we don't open the presents until after we have done everything....dogs and horses and plus she has finished too, so I'll let you know at about seven tonight then.......

You keep posting lass :)

Love the sound of your pressies :) Mine are nearly all non-horsey this year, but I have a ridiculous amount of the stuff and the horses are all now D1's, so in theory I don't need anything else *doesn't mention that she's on the looking at new horse case :) *
 
Well, I did come downstairs and notice a rather nice mirror above the fireplace that I saw in a fleamarket the other day.

I live in a house with 4 adults and 2 children (un-natural!) , it is 8.30am and all the lazy ******* are still asleep, well from me, I have been up since 6.30, fed the animals, walked the dogs, and have been painting a lantern in my work room for an order next week)

Merry Christmas everyone I hope you all have a great day (even if yours is half over already) and that 2016 brings you all Health and Happiness :)

Same in this household too - all of us 'children' are in our twenties now too! Although we are allowed to open stockings, so that is a saving grace :D
 
Nothing horsey bar a cracking card with two cobs on! (Don't tell Shils!)

I got a new watch, unexpected, the OH must've read my mind, I've been looking for ages. The boy has rosehips, carefully frozen back in Autumn. He's a happy boy.
 
Meanwhile my mother appears to have purchased at least half of the core stock of Equissentials Dressage for Master Fergus...

Not that I'm complaining :eek3: :D

Don't stop posting and dont take notice of people that have nothing better to do than pointing out grammar! Its Christmas so enjoy it :-D
 
I didn't do it nastily. I didn't call anyone stupid or anything. I just pointed it out. It doesn't matter that it's Christmas. Whatever day of the year it was I'd have been jumped on so I really don't care. I know I'm not the only one on this forum who noticed. I'm just the only one who said anything. I am just sad that I see this sort of grammatical mistake on Facebook and forums all the time. If no one tells anyone then they won't know it's wrong or why.

Well that was kind I'm glad you didn't call me stupid on Christmas Day.

Like I said, I'm going to return to lurking not posting. I am a 32 year old lawyer by day who didn't proof read my post before posting and embarrassingly a huge grammatical error! However, between three kids, four dogs and three horses I didn't have much time but felt like sharing my Christmas delight with other horsey types! I expect there are errors on this post too, but I'm in the mists of preparing tea for eleven people and have had a couple of glasses of wine.

If I could work out how to delete the post I would! Unfortunately my secretary has the day off and she is better at driving computers than I am!

What a miserable Christmas you must be having to take pleasure out of being a grammar Nazi on someones happy post.

Your presents sound lovely Jazzy. Hope you've had a good day
 
Nope having a great Christmas thanks. Like I said. I really don't care. I'd have been jumped on any day of the year. It's just not acceptable to correct anyone in any situation these days.

Sorry if anyone thinks I behaved unacceptably. I didn't. But whatevs.

Meh. It bothers me too, and it's an expression that I dislike in this context anyway. But I am both a grinch and a grammar fiend, and I don't care if anyone thinks I'm unreasonable for it ;)

If I were feeling petty I'd correct all the other errors on this thread too... Or maybe I'll save that party game for later!
 
Oh wow, our wonderful children clubbed together and bought me a boot care pack. Even better, ES cleaned my boots last night so that when they handed me my new boot back it contained my cleaned boots, with trees installed. Oh, and he used the conditioner and proofer as well as cleaning them. Happy dance!

"But whatevs"?

Paha! That's made my day, Pot.

Glad you had some lovely gifts, OP! I received the first gifts I've had for years, this Christmas. So, I'm feeling very lucky too ��

JFTD I knew I wasn't the only one!

Orca I'm glad someone got my tongue in cheekness! ;)
 
I do empathise with OP though. I posted a thread with a similar misspelling in the OP recently. I was mortified to find I couldn't alter it because my time had expired. Most things I write on my phone keypad are unintelligible to be honest. Autocorrect has a lot to answer for. Init.

Fo Sho man.

OP I do apologise if I've upset you and I don't question your ability to use English correctly in your professional life. I could only go on that first post and stand by my rights to correct poor grammar, Nazi that I am (apparently)
