A Week In the Life of Chestnut Ridge - Day 7
Today is our final day *awww sad noises* and I hope you've enjoyed this series :) Next week would be boring anyway, it would just be 9-20.00 - Cut certificates.
10.45 - Wake Up
Apparently my watch alarm decided we would have a lie in today...
Before I go and walk Brandy I have to hoover up the cat litter that Caesar has spread all over the landing
11.00-11.55 - Walk Brandy
We have a nice walk in the horribly humid weather. We help an old man find the pub (twice) so are feeling good about ourselves now.
Feed all the animals once back, check the new arrivals haven't died over night (always a good sign) and load the dishwasher
11.55-11.59 - Eventing Series
It is the final day and Show Jumping today, which isn't too time consuming. Starting off the day with a bit of RP in the group, although my brain is feeling a little mush.
ON THAT NOTE AAA I FORGOT MY CRUMPETS ARE IN THE OVER *runs*
Crumpets are OK. Panic over.
11.59-13.34 - Cleaning & Tax
Mum came over to help me figure out wtf is going on with my online tax account (yea my life is fun). Also cleaned the bedroom, did some hoovering and general other boring cleaning related stuff.
13.34-13.36 - Eventing Series
Just like the last three days I'll be doing this throughout the day so the posts are nice and spread out. I should now actually start work for the day!
13.36-16.52 - Ironing
I have such a fun life. "What did you do this weekend?" "O I spent three hours ironing"
16.52-17.05 - Eventing
It's quite late in the day but actually need to get this done!
17.05-17.10 - Photography
I have a tonne of horses that need cataloguing before they can go onto the shelves, so I spend some time photographing them ready to do this.
17.10-17.16 - Eventing & Email Queries
I'm supposed to have a strict "no answering emails outside of work hours" policy but I rarely stick to this. I know it's really bad and I should. At least I turn the work phone off!
17.16-17.30 - Cutting BMECS Tickets
The performance show has a smaller class list which means less cutting *yay*. Even better one section isn't a BMESC qualifier so the tickets are cut out nice and promptly and for once I didn't accidentally cut any of the bottoms off.
17.30-17.35 - Eventing Series
BE90 results are done.
17.35-17.37 - Blog Post
Today's Blog post is another BF Auction model, this time a black spotted Flash
17.37-17.50 - Clean Bathroom
All upstairs rooms apart from the pony room are now beautifully spotless :) The cat has rewarded my efforts by spreading more cat litter around.
17.50-17.56 - Eventing Series
BE100 is now done :)
17.56-18.03 - Stretches
Really feeling the fact that I didn't do any stretching this morning, so giving the muscles a nice stretch out this evening.
18.03-18.04 - Eventing Series
We are onto the second group and the BE Novice now.
18.04-18.07 - Daily Deal
I become acutely aware that I haven't done a daily deal today. I mean at least I did it right?
18.07-18.10 - Eventing Series
BE Novice is now done, there were only three horses left...
18.07-18.12 - Clean Toilet
I didn't have any bleach left yesterday, I got some more this morning and now the downstairs toilet is nice and shiny :)
18.12-18.13 - Eventing Series
We are onto the BE Intermediate now, which marks the half way point.
18.13-18.26 - Clean Pony Room
The entire upstairs of the house is now spotless :) I shall just live up here and forget the downstairs exists.
18.26-18.31 - Eventing Series
The BE Intermediate is done which means we are on the home straight :) Why do I do this to myself?
18.31-18.40 - Strength Work
I usually don't like doing this stuff in the evening because by now the pain levels are quite high, but it needs to be done every day so I get the weights out and work on strengthening those muscles.
18.40-18.41 - Eventing Series
Is it dinner time yet? I'm hungry and really bored of eventing.
18.41-19.23 - Walk Dog
Brandy needed to go out so we took her for a bit of a walk and also won a raid battle *happy dance*
19.23-19.34 - Eventing Series
Final results are done and uploaded :)
19.34-19.36 - Emails
Emails and book keeping are now dealt with for the weekend :)
19.36-23.00 - Dinner
Brendon wanted Indian. I didn't. So we compromised and he took me out for dinner :)
23.00-23.30 - Pets & Plants
New fish seem to be settling in well. Caesar was VERY ANGRY BECAUSE WE WENT OUT!!!
I hope you've enjoyed this series :) Looking forward to not having to remember to do this all the time next week :p

The Next BF Auction Model
Today's model is a gorgeous black blanket spot on the Flash mould
Not my favourite so far, but a nice unusual colouration for the mould and I like the black spots on the dark grey.

A Week In the Life of Chestnut Ridge - Day 6
The main working week is nearly over, but at weekends there are still a million and one things to do!
8.30 - Wake Up
No alarms at weekends (that's a lie there is one on my watch set to 9.30). I am as usual awoken by the cat sitting on my face so I can't breath.
9.00-11.23 - Walking Brandy
A nice long walk today, not as sunny as it was but that was actually quite nice!
11.23-11.25 - Popular Votes & Eventing
Popular votes photoshows closes for entries today so that needs to be done.
And we need to start work on Day 2 of the eventing.
11.25-11.29 - Daily Deal
Daily deal is up, today it is 15% off a Paint and play Morgan
11.29-11.36 - Eventing
Cross country takes a lot longer to do than dressage, so yay.
11.36-11.49 - Stretches & Exercises
Stretchy stretchy muscles. All nice and stretched out.
11.49-11.50 - Eventing Series
Quick post, we are now onto the BE90
11.50-11.54 - Emails
Emails are all done, with the exception of the ninety thousand sent by my mother which I shall at some point deal with. Highlights today include a picture of a guinea pig.
11.54-16.30 - Garden Centre, Woods & Fish
Brendon isn't working so we had an afternoon out and sort of combined it with getting tomato feed and compost (and some celery) as well as getting four new family members :)
These are not the family members, they are just some pigs we met on the way:
16.30-17.23 - Gardening
Everything is pruned, dead headed and weeded and the whole garden has been swept. I also repotted the chilli and put it outside as well as planting my new celery.
17.23-17.28 - Eventing
There is a lot of eventing to get done this evening, so know how I'll be spending my time!
17.28-17.54 - Admin
I hate the Gov.uk website. I hated it when I had to work with it everyday. I hate it still now.
17.54-17.59 - Eventing
It's a never ending cycle of random number generating this weekend
17.59-18.06 - Model of the Day
Today it is Dara, a lovely roan Johar
18.06-18.12 - Eventing
BE Novice is done. Whenever I do this I always see it as three groups, onto the second group now, nearly half way through!
18.12-18.27 - Exercise
Bit late in the day but very important to do exercise daily :) Today it is a pretty basic workout, more working on stretching and strength than cadio based work. Mainly because I'm exhausted and about to fall asleep.
18.27-18.30 - Eventing
BE Intermediate is done which means we are half way through *yay*
18.30-18.32 - Social Media
A quick Facebook post to remind people to enter this month's competition. This month you could win a little CollectA Pinto Foal.
18.32-18.36 - Instagram
A quick Instagram post as I haven't done one yet today - very important to keep those followers happy :D Even if it was just a picture of my new plec :D
18.36-18.40 - Eventing
We are onto the CCI now which means it is nearly finished *happy dance*
18.40-18.43 - Clean Toilet
I have that kind of highly exciting life that involves spending my Saturday evenings cleaning the toilet.
18.43-18.46 - Eventing
Just two more sections to go for the cross country...nearly done for the day.
18.46-18.55 - Clean Study
Now smells like polish, much better than the stench of primer and sealant that usually fills the room!
18.55-20.02 - Dinner
I am exhausted today, but there was a nice program about otters on TV during dinner.
20.02-20.07 - Eventing Series
The 3 star is done which means just the four star to do and then the cross country is all done :)
20.07-20.11 - Hoover Study
I finish off cleaning the study by giving a quick hoover. I discover the second clothes moth this week, at least this one wasn't on the mane of a RubberNed!
20.11-20.17 - Eventing Series
I finish off the final set of cross country results for today and upload them into the Facebook group.
20.17-20.19 - Blog Post
I am absolutely in love with the latest BF release, she is gorgeous!
20.19-21.00 - Pets and Plants
Everyone is fed and watered, including the new arrivals who are settling in well. The plants have had a good feed tonight as well, although they'll also get some fish tank water tomorrow when Brendon does the tanks (literally the best fertiliser)!
Here is a blurry picture of three of the new arrivals:
21.51 - Bed
After watching a bit of TV and waiting for Brendon to get back so I could show him a bit of TV it is off to bed. Didn't get much done today which means tomorrow is going to be a bit of a mad rush, particularly considering I haven't done anything for next Saturday's show...
8.30 - Wake Up
No alarms at weekends (that's a lie there is one on my watch set to 9.30). I am as usual awoken by the cat sitting on my face so I can't breath.
