Bloomin' Horses!

(1/7) > >>

narked:
One of my treasured night's off work, and what do I end up wasting several hours doing? Taking the gf's dad to go and pick up a bale of haylage for the bloomin' horses. 3 hours to do a ~30 mile round trip, just so that his (and the gf's) beloved dog-food-on-legs can eat. Would have been over quicker, but no, I have to stop in the pub so he can have a 'quick' pint. And then there is the fun of trying to reverse a rubbish, extremely low-to-the-ground trailer over uneven, rocky ground, and then unloading and positioning a round bale by hand.

And all this as his Disco is awaiting insurance work, and he's driving round in a brand new, courtesy Freelander 2 TD4 XS auto, but with no tow hitch.

And to top it all off, the gf is being a moody so-and-so, so all together a total waste of a night off. Roll on work tomorrow!

Speaking from experience,  women + horses = expense and trouble till you get to know your place.......... at the bottom of the heap  :roll:

Tell me about it. The gf's horse caused her a broken arm, yet it's still the best thing since sliced bread. Her dad's horse is just a big money pit. the sun shines out of it's backside. Last year I spent 2 hours in the freezing cold, in the middle of the night, holding a lamp for the vet to clean up a whacking great cut on one of her legs, a day after I broke my finger. This horse has been spoilt rotten since the injury. It was one of those occasions when the vet says something along the lines of "before you decide what to do, you need to work out how much this horse is worth to you". I personally would have been on the phone to Pedigree Chum at that point.
