Now we all know how much I adore my farrier... and that my shameless morag wafting and hair swishing and general slagging it about in front of him while he tries to work, has got me NOWHERE. We also know that he has a person of the morag wielding variety of his own, and is too decent to have swept me off my mounting block and done wicked things to me in the hay loft (yet! :D) while she's still around.

So...

I am taking off my tweed coat and morag tassles, and hanging up my wellies.

I'm not a fan of the morag wafting, grape eating, hair swishing, red bottomed idiot that I've become. So next time he comes to shoe my horses, I shall be all made of ice and stone, and I will NOT guffaw and turn into a blushing pile of goo when he says anything nice. Or smiles that smile that makes my knees go all funny... I shall just talk to his loverly dog, and try and persuade myself that having a mechanic is much more useful than having a farrier...


My initial plan was to invite him to a terribly classy champagne and fish and chips moment that I'm having on Friday to celebrate taking over my new yard... but instead I shall put my red bottom away, talk to people like a normal human being who can have a whole conversation without dribbling, and just wish he was there with his big arms and his fantastic sense of humour...and his ***** tendencies instead!

I have not yet told my dogs... this is going to be difficult, but I'm sure they'll move on - the mechanic has a dog of the same breed as Mr Fit, so they'll get over it eventually I'm sure.

You never know... I might come bounding in here one day shrieking about the fact that he strapped on a pair, sorted himself out and swept me off my mounting block :)
 
If I ever get swept off my mounting block by the farrier, I will post a video of the welly dance for you all.. and quite possibly a video of the spectacular performance my dogs and I gave of "Baby Got Back" last night...

too much Jack Daniels plus discovery of old music leads to hilarious sexysexy dancing...
 
lol dont think ive commented on ur posts but have read a few and have made me giggle-not at you- but we've all had one of those crushes-its terrible :rolleyes:.
ive got a feeling that if you play it abit cooler he may end up sweeping you off the mounting block unexpectedly! or have you already tried that approach?? x
 
My darling hamish1... I have tried just about every approach you can think of!

Damsel in distress

Shameless whorebag

French speaking love goddess

Fruit harvesting waif

Normal, civilised human being

Tea making wifey type thing

Guffawing idiot

Fabulously funny and dazzlingly witty

Charming

Generally delightful

Huge hearted and sacrificing myself for others happiness

need I go on?!
 
you're like the horsey, grown up version of georgia nicolson :P
love these posts haha
xx

It's rather alarming that you're about the 12th person who has said that...


and also alarming that I know who you're talking about!

She got him in the end though! In fact, she was bloody greedy and got TWO!
 
haha i love it ;)
well i dont know what to suggest but i really dont want you to hang up the wellies! how could he resist a tea making wifey type thing lol. so he must give you some indications he's interested to keep you hanging on....
 
Have you ever considered actually talking to him and asking him out?
I know, outlandish idea, but it might just work...

Or alternatively, whacking him over head with mounting block, dragging into hayshed and just doing what you want with him lol! :D

(Making sure of course, that all horses have new sets on first!) :):):):)
 
ow, but is it because hes playing hard to get/ cant have why hes so wantable so what will happen if you get mr mechanic and he becomes intrested ?!
It does happen yknow !
 
I would to be honest...have scanned through posts and he does have a girlfriend.

When his fit, supple, masculine torso is shoeing your horse, just keep chanting to yourself quietly...'you had your chance and blew it...you had your chance and blew it'


Hope this helps with the 'moving on' process...lol
 
You can't give up. We'd die of boredom!

Going off on the Mr Mechanic idea - I married mine, and nobody can gets studs in my hopping-all-over-the -place-at-a-ODE eventer like he does. Its like formula 1...
 
Right... well.. asking him out is out of the question because, following a LOT of digging, some light stalking and a rather alarming interrogation by a friend, we now know for certain a squillion percent that he does have a girlfriend. Which is crap in the extreme.

I shall of course be keeping up with the welly dancing, just in case, but only on very dark nights when nobody is around!

The mechanic is very lovely... but sadly he's just making me realise bad I've got it for Mr Fit.

TRILEMMA!!!!
 
I have just explained the situation to my dogs, and they are NOT amused.

However, they will be meeting the mechanic's puppy this evening as I am being a right cow and making him fix my car and stop the scary juddering when I go over 60...


I have also just finished my book, and am VERY cross with the author for not ending it properly. I am now burning with murderous rage and all that jazz because the silly woman killed everyone without my permission!!!
 
Just as soon as you get it on with Mr Mechanic and think you are over Mr Farrier, Mr Farrier will decide he wants you! Typical! Just remember 'Luck is when opportunity meets planning'. Treat him mean, keep em keen! ;) And keep us all updated!
 
Binky you plonker!!

I will of COURSE be updating you if there are any significant events, and I shall be updating you on Thursday after he's left to let you know how my attempt to be normal and not at all idiotic goes!

I might pop some Sedalin before he comes... hmmm :D
 
Hahaha :D I shall look forward to hearing the antics!!!


If all else fails....fancy drinkies at a little pub crawl round Lynham? RAF base ;) hahaha.
 
No, don't give up. Just stop trying so hard and be yourself. If you are behaving in a way you think he likes and its not working then perhaps you are approaching things from the wrong angle.

Let him see you for who you are not someone he thinks you are and if he doesn't make a move on you then move on.

xxx
 
haha I love it! At least you have a good looking farrier!! Not the middle aged eaten a few too many pies to keep warm...they not so great to look at in the middle of winter!!

I bet he's the type of guy that loves the attention and watching you try so hard, making himself feel better. Just imagine all the other people that perv on him every day! If you give him the colder shoulder if you can would be interesting to see what he does!

Good luck!!:D
 
Sadly Archiesmummy, I am being entirely myself around him. I LOATHE people who prance around being something they're not just to impress yummy men.

I am guilty of the prancing, but I am actually this mad... and I have actually at one point in my life eaten so many grapes in one sitting that I managed to convince myself I was going to die a horrible death due to grape poisoning.

Alas, I shall just continue to be my dazzling and charming self, and he will continue to make me want to whack him over the head and sort himself out, and I shall untwist my knickers and think about something else!
 
Well all I can say is he can't be that into his 'girlfriend' if the answer was sort of...so there is still hope there! You will definatly have to keep us all posted on the farrier front as very exciting for us who have OH's and don't really get much perving action anymore!! :)
