I prefer to.....

Brush my horse, rather than brush off/clean the sofas.

Muck out her stable, rather than muck out whatever room has ended up looking like a bombsite at home :rolleyes:

Buy rugs and breeches, rather than buy 'proper' clothes for me (much to D's disgust) :cool:

Take rugs to be cleaned, rather than taking curtains for the same :p

Do any horsey related shopping, rather than almost any non-horsey related shopping :D

The daft thing is, I'm trying to cut down the amount of time I spend at the yard/with the horses as I need to spend more time with the Ds and at home :rolleyes::D
 
I agree.. I was on my hands and knees this afternoon digging gunk out a hole in Maje's hoof with my thumb nail but I have mass heart attacks if I try to do the dishes or clean the toilet without gloves on :/

I'll power wash my barn Walls and rubber matting long before I mop the kitchen or living room floors :/
 
I'll do pretty much anything at the yard rather than at home! Kitchen is currently buried under the washing and washing up, though I happily spent most of yesterday at the yard spring cleaning her already pretty immaculate stable! I would rather sweep the yard than hoover any day, and for some reason washing numnahs and rugs is so much more tempting than tacking the mountain of clothes!!
 
I was pondering this the other day as I was happily scrubbing the very smelly underside of my rubber mats clean....why can I motivate myself to do this horrible job so enthusiastically :) but I can't summon up any energy to clean our kitchen floor.......why oh why :)
 
Indeed.
Somehow mucking out and making up feeds is far preferable to housework and cooking dinner, lol! And I would far rather put money aside for Ali than buy myself new shoes, etc.
OH had to force me to buy shoes yesterday, and I really did need a new pair!

Likewise :)
