OK, i am lost (doesn't take much) what's tillywilly's granny got to do with all of this, and is she the "someone else" who spilled cream all over shilasdair's kitchen floor?

It's a mystery to me....do you think it may have been tillywilly's granny? I wouldn't put it past her to go cream tipping

Ah, so its YOU rather than him, who is the upper class pensioner on drugs?

Explains a lot...

If only they gave me a pension.....I'd be happy to oblige with the drugs...is tillywilly's granny dealing, do you think?
Sounds a thoroughly dodgy character.

will pay for them to be sent via Royal Mail! And if you have more than two coloureds I simply must have one - I will give you three peanuts and a lucozade? Deal!

[/ QUOTE ]
If you can up that to lucozade, 3 peanuts AND a box of Thorntons Alpini - then the deal is on! I'll send Trixie first - look out for her in your mail box!

Wasn't my granny - I never had "grannies" but the Grandmothers I had died many many many moons ago, bless their cotton socks.

If you can get her over there - I will give her to you free! You do know that she is a cripple though.....


Shilasdair; I know you are a weirdo and sometimes you make me laugh, but you have just excelled yourself with the hatching comment ... my After Eight almost became lodged inbetween the W and E keys on my keyboard!

Oh, I'm not short of hair...mainly body hair...since I started plaiting my underarm hair it became easier to stuff into my clothes, though.

Hell yes I'd send you a pack but I'm not that good a friend so you'll have to send me the £20 for the box and the shipping costs!

PS What gender are you? I think we need a poll - Tia!!!
 
[ QUOTE ]
Either beggers/choosers! What do you think I am? or what do you want me to be?

I want you to be 95 with a fat bank account, a terminal disease and a desire for marriage. Oh, and no living relatives.
Romantic, aren't I?

Sooner or later she is going to have to realise that you can't keep two horses without a job, especially if you haven't paid for them to start with.
As for offering her £2000, that's perfectly acceptable to me, if they were in regular work, ready to sell they would both be worth a lot more, no-one is insisting she accepts your offer to buy one are they?
I think your friend is at the age many people get in a mess with money, and it's a hard lesson to learn.
I can understand her parents helping her out, but if they are short of cash, I'm afraid they should insist both go and at whatever price they can be sold for.
They were trying to help but she should have stuck to her side of the deal and got an extra job, any job..I don't believe this isn't possible especially at present when all the supermarkets are advertising for extra workers over Christmas.
The people who think because you are her friend you should offer free livery live in a strange world; how is that going to help her face her responsibilities?
Sometimes as a parent you have to be cruel to be kind, I know my own daughter would dearly love to keep each and every horse we breed, but instead she has to break them, school them, even compete them and still see them sold to other people.. It would be stupid to allow her to think bills can be ignored..
I don't think it's any of your business however if they have been left in their field, if you asked them, I bet they would prefer that to competing
wink.gif

I would make your offer to her in front of her parents, that way they can all see there is a way out. Either that or persuade her to take both to a dealer who will also offer them instant cash, unless she sells there is no way she can afford to feed/shoe them all winter is there?
I think the ones taking the moral high ground are peeved you might make a profit from the situation, well tough, people do, and it's part of life! Do you resent paying tesco for your shopping knowing they make a profit? I know they aren't friends but the principle is everyone is entitled to make a profit if they are clever enough to do so..your friend is a twit and if seeing someone else make a profit makes her vow never to get in such a mess again, well so be it..
(gosh, I am being fierce today, must be all that clearing up I've done!!

You can say that - you're thousands of miles away.

Some of us are within 300 miles of her . . . . . and that might not be enough
