...So, i decided just under 3 weeks ago now that I was going to quite my job (various reasons i won't go in to). Due to the position I was in i was placed on garden leave - which essentially means I have to leave work immediately but am paid for my notice period (6 weeks) but am not actually at work. Great I thought, I can put this time to good use and really bring on my (rising) 4 yo and maybe get him to some competitions for experience.

Hmm, seems Mother Nature is just laughing at me and decided to throw down a load of snow, rain, fog, sleet, ice etc etc to scupper my plans and hence has prevented me doing much at all (a couple of hacks out that's about it - we don't have an arena). S*d's law eh! You can GUARANTEE the minute I get a new job the weather will come out nice won't it!! Grrr :(

This time last year it was about 25 degrees if I recall. Typical! I just hope we get a decent summer after all this! :D

Anyone else more than fed up now with this rubbish weather?
 
Aha - so you are to blame for the bad weather! Please hurry up and get a job!

Seriously though I hope you do get some better weather before starting a new job.

Yep, sorry I am to blame!! I have never had 6 weeks not working in my life and I thought it would be a very handy time of year - spring that is! Seemingly not! :(
 
I know how you feel, I so badly wanna get cracking on my youngster and every time we get going the weather puts pay to our plans!!! Grrr!!

Just feels like winter is lasting forever at the moment
 
Ummmh I am really sorry to have to disagree with you here but as a matter of fact the weather was downgraded to mostly crepe at the end of March last year when I bought my horse. It's the worst winter they have had field flooding wise at my yard and it coincides with me being there too! If anyone would like advance warning of very very wet weeks they coincide with my holidays.

So it's YOU that's to blame not me!!!
 
I retired in the Summer, planning to ride almost every day. Less than a month before I left work, some idiotic woman ran into the back of my car and gave me whiplash, which I have needed lots of physio for. I wasn't able to ride at all for the first few weeks. Since then it has rained/snowed/been foggy almost every day, we don't have a school and tbh I can count the number of times I've been able to ride. The few good days we've had, I've been asked to go back into work.

So perhaps I'm as much to blame as you OP
