I should be working but just mulling over a conversation I had with someone recently. She's a dear friend so the conversation was a perfectly friendly one. She was on about me competing during the week, to which I stated that it costs me holiday (both she and I work full time). She said she can't do that as she uses her holiday to go abroad on holiday once or twice a year. I've not been abroad for about 4 years now, and barely manage one or two nights away. Not complaining, as I've no real wish to go abroad or leave my horse and animals. (Though right now a week on a sunny beach would be heaven!).
Furthermore, we never eat out (v occasional Toby carvery), rarely have take away, don't smoke or drink, no sky tv, gym membership, buy my clothes in sales, lorry and cars are old and need a bit of tlc, and our do'er upper house isn't finished as the pennies ran out. But the horse lives an extremely comfortable life and without being spoilt, pretty much wants for nothing. Oh dear, think I've got the balance a bit wrong here . . . .
