A fucking horse.

Is it some kind of Christmas madness?? Does anyone else get gripped by it?

I am usually pretty tight and determined to not have spoilt children. I don't know where this has come from.

Anyone else?

You've bought your kids a horse?

WellErrr · 20/11/2016 12:16

Yes.

Well, a pony. A little one. Less than an xBox anyway.

Buying a pony is the cheap part. Keeping it is the expensive bit.

I sound mad now - I already have a horse and live on a farm so not as bonkers as it sounds. I feel shit though as I think it's too much. I was just imagining their little faces.

Before having children I really didn't get how people could spoil them but here I am....

I was thinking tinsel round the neck? I could probably get her into the kitchen. Wouldn't want it shitting in the sitting room

What about a big bow tied on to the head collar?

Please, please, please can I come and live at your house WellErr? I'd love a pony! And a puppy and a floofy kitten and one of those wee little pygmy goats.....Wink.

I think it's lovely. Your DC's are so lucky!

My main problem at the moment is hiding it. She wouldn't go in the attic so she's currently sideways on under the spare bed.

Thank you. Feel bad now as this looks like stealth boast but it's really not, she was cheap as chips.
