Worry of the Day - Add Yours

[Dannii5691]

I've been worrying all day about getting in touch with yo about pony moving tonight! Finally got in touch with her now tho but worrying about new pony coming now!! X

 

[Sparks09]

Worried about how i'm going to afford six weeks off work when I have my operation. Don't get sick pay :frown: Also worried that I can't bring Storm in tonight, because no other horse is coming in but its going to be freezing. Even though he'll have a nice warm rug on, i'd still much prefer for him to be in!!

Still toying what to do with mine - worried they will get mud fever if they stay in their mud pit, but dont want them on the grass really (itching, mood swings and weight issues) and can't stable them as she ruins her rugs stabled Answers on a postcard!

 

[Jane&Ziggy]

Worrying about money (as always) but most about our field and whatever I would do if the owner decided to sell it - and not to us! :hot:

 

[devonlass]

See you're all going about this all wrong folks.The trick is to have so many worries that you can't choose between them,that way you soon end up not caring about any of them,works for me anyway:wink::tongue:

Sorry not meaning to make light of anyone's worries,just live by the motto,you have to laugh or you'd cry lol

Am sure everything will work out for everyone one way or another,and will holding a good thought for you all in the meantime.

Flumpy-I have found the best weapon with eyedrops is speed!! Don't think about it too much,don't plan just have the stuff in your hand and go straight in for the kill so to speak!!

 

[eventerbabe]

i can't worry too much or else i go into ostrich mode and bury my head which just makes things worse. also i my job, i meet children with awful lives which makes any of my worries pale into insignificance. i have 14 days to finish writing, printing and binding my PhD thesis. That is worrying me, as it's still in bits!

 

[Vicki100]

Gosh we are a worrying lot arent we! :happy:

How come men dont seem to worry??? Well they dont show it anyway a

Anyway my worries for today (and most days) are as follows:

OH has gone to an interview for a resonable job, so just hoping he gets it. Its working night shifts so the money is brill!! So that would mean less stress on me as i have been the money maker for the past 3 months or so oop:

Work are sending me to college one night a week, new scenarios scare me :redface: and the fact i have to do a 10hour day every monday does not please me. Also the college is in a right sh*t hole, so i will end up getting mugged no doubt.

Got lots of deadlines to reach for tomorrow at work too, no where near completing them *gulp*

Worried about winter in particular at the mo, riding wise. It means 2 rides a week, which SUCKS! just got finnley at the right wieght and i dont want him putting on the pounds again.

Worried about our field, at the moment its sectioned off, but Land owner doesnt like it to be sectioned off in winter because of the mud. So thats means ponies going out onto 17acres worth of grass

Im worried about my teeth, i need around 4 fillings. I have managed to avoid going for 4years, but they are starting to hurt now. So might have to force myself so go oop:

Worried i may have depression, my mood seems to be getting worse recently. So i may have to take a trip to the dreaded doctors and be given some happy pills LOL! :frown:

*Sigh* i think thats about it!!! Sorrry to bore you all :angel:

Hi PFB, Just a thought (it worked for me) how about trying some Equichaps?
They keep the legs nice and dry so no mud fever!
I did it with my boys before we built the stables so they had to stay out in my boggy rubbish muddy field, and they never got wet legs, despite having an abundance of heavy feather.

I'm worried about if my son's outgrown pony will be bought by the lady trialling him, or if he will come home & we'll have to part with him all over again, & will mess him around as he seems happy in his new home.

 

[Skippys Mum]

I've been persevering for weeks now not feeling well and have just spent a lousy 4 days in the Lake District feeling miserable. Finally bit the bullet and went to the doctor today and I have a chest infection and am now on steroids, antibiotics and an inhaler.

And just to add insult to injury, my 11 month collie has decided to start limping today. He's got a puncture wound on his leg but I dont know if the 2 are connected. Oh well, I'll give him a day or two then it might be off to the vet for Splash.

I see antibiotics all round here

I have a rule, don't worry about anything that you have no control over because you can't do anything about it.

 

[laceyfreckle]

We make websites - I'm just in the process of putting together a list of companies that we can try and market ourselves to - depressing work I'd much rather be at the stables knee deep in s**t!

well, it might be your lucky day as I/we might need a website built but have no idea as to cost or how - pm me details! We're a building company specialising in home improvements and electrics. Company name: Allstar Home Improvements.

laceyfreckle, have you tried the cap? I had to use that for a while and it's very side-effect free (apart from having the darn thing go 'boinging' around the bathroom gathering fluff when you're wrestling with it....:bounce:

I used to be a terrible worry wart, but ever since the menopause hit I've been a grumpy objectionable moody mare .... maybe I should be worrying about that? :giggle:

Just be careful if you have a bit of weight to lose and you use the cap - weightloss can affect the fit of the cap so would need to be checked :wink:

Will look into the cap, thanks guys! It's not something I've looked into previously. hormonalmare - would have to make sure it's not left around though as worried the kids would think it's one of those things you invert on the ground and then they pop up lol.

 

[domane]

Worried about lack of money for the next week.
Worried that we will have enough staff to cope with the bookings in the pub restaurant tomorrow and Saturday nights.
Worried that Dom won't have time to remove the barbed wire from some of the fencing at my new yard before Roo needs to start wearing a rug at night.
Worried that I'll be able to source enough hay to get through the winter

 

[Yann]

How come men dont seem to worry???

Oh they do, but not necessarily about the same sort of stuff

I however have to admit to worrying a little about Rio for the last couple of days, it was cool, wet and windy and she suddenly looked a bit stiffer on her bad leg than she has of late. I'm hoping the winter, with all the cold and damp and being stabled won't set her back too much. She's off bute / danilon at the moment, so there's always that option.

Maybe overdoing it though, sharer hacked her out this evening and she was OK once she'd warmed up, perfectly normal.

Jack is off work for a month and has never been off work at all since backed 5 years ago, he must be falling apart.

 

[Joyscarer]

Today is crunch time for whether a livery at my yard leaves or not.

 

[learningcurve]

I am very worried about my ponies feet, my farrier seems to have vanished, boys are long over due, two are laminitics so not good.

Gave up trying to get hold of him a few weeks ago and have been desperately trying to find another. They are all booked up.
Eventually one said he can come next tuesday, was a bit worried as I don't know anything about him.
Another Farrier who I have heard good things about responded to my messages and said that the one I have booked is a good farrier, Phew, also said if I am not happy he will take on my lot.

It has been a nightmare.

 

[Bodshi]

I'm worried that I'm not training Rafi properly - last night had a dream that I'd sent him away for training and when I went to see him the trainer used a whip to go in his stable to get him and then started hitting him with it when he came out all angry and threatening to kick - I was trying to shout 'Nooooo' but no sound would come out and I couldn't move - I'm sure that's all connected to my own worries!

BTW Cleanboots & RoxysMum, I have Coeliac Disease - there's worse things! And Laceyfreckle I got pregnant with my fourth child when I was using the cap! OH went and had a vasectomy as soon as he could.

Oh, and I am worried about my ovarian cyst which they are 'fairly sure' is benign!

 

[Skippys Mum]

Can I start cheering this thread up again please. I'm feeling much much better, the tablets are kicking in now. Splash is also fine again - the cut on his leg is healing nicely and whether or not that had caused the limp (I dont think it had, I think he had just overdone something), its all gone now and he's back to Happy Splashy

 

[Jane&Ziggy]

I have a rule, don't worry about anything that you have no control over because you can't do anything about it.

Geez Pharoah, I know that's what I ought to do, but how do you actually do it? You are talking to the woman who had nightmares about nuclear war until she was 30, and there was nothing whatsoever I could do about that!!!!
