Ironically though, I still worry about him?...........

In the meantime she had a riding test yesterday to work for a few weeks as a horsetrekking leader.   I was so concerned about her having to continue her travels alone and am so thrilled now that she is enjoying herself so much. So The Worry is now temporarily put on hold!   Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         The Potting Shed Forum Index -> Family life All times are GMT + 1 Hour Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3  Next Page 2 of 3   Jump to: Select a forum Welcome----------------Introduce yourselfGetting to know you Chat----------------The potting shedOrganised eventsGet on your soapbox! In the garden and countryside----------------Garden and allotmentLivestock and petsGoing wildEnvironmental awareness At home and in the kitchen----------------Cooking and bakingPreserving and curingBeverages and brewsThe libraryLive a healthier lifeFamily lifeGood HousekeepingBe your own bossFrugality The studio and workshop----------------Quilting and sewingKnitting, weaving and crochetCard, paper and woodSoapmakingBead artAll Other CraftsCountdown to ChristmasThe darkroomThe workshopOffcut bin Miscellaneous----------------Forum help and practiceFeedback and announcementsForum calendarThe boutique  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Card File  Gallery  Forum Archive Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group myff_thepottingshed3 style by ktauber
