Is that the one out south auckland? I'm thinking about it, depends on whether I feel confident enough driving with the float and horse on board by then!

I'll see - there are standardbred classes I'd like to enter, but I will have only had float for 2 weeks, so who knows if I will feel safe driving with float by then..

Okay so here's a sticky one for you FBk guru's - how do you politely decline workmates when they request you as a Friend? I figure I see so much of them during the week that I don't need them on my Fbk page as well really - plus how BORING would my page be to them - horses horses horses, and oh, more horses!!!

I have repeatedly declined a relative & when she asked why, I just said that my Friends list was getting a bit out of hand & I'd deleted a whole lot of others too so she wasn't being singled out. I then quickly changed the subject & she's never asked since, nor did she seem offended (which must be a record for me!)

I just tell them that I dont want them knowing about the debauchery I get up to on the weekend for fear they will lose respect for me in the workplace. I only have one colleague as an FB friend and thankfully she knows how to keep her mouth shut :-)

People can notice if you delete them and get offended. A far better idea is to add them, then block them from seeing anything on your page, put them under limited profile

I make it a policy to not add work colleagues - they are that colleagues, not friends and quite frankly I don't want them seeing what I get up to (even if I don't get up to anything hahaha)

We made it a rule at work (well those of us who were friends sort-of-outside work but wouldnt have met othrwise) that we would not "friend" them on FBk because that was crossing the line between work/home and you could not vent. Just say to the people at work that you dont consider it "appropriate" in a work situation. When two of them left, we immediately "friended" them to keep in touch.

What CMB said. I have some people that I didn't want on there but it was far too rude not to so I have them so that they cannot see my wall or wall posts. That way they have no idea whats going on but they will most likely never realise.

Depends if they are truely friends or not? I've added one person from work as would consider a friend but not added some family as can't be feeked getting into each others lives on facebook. I just delete and then if they ask just say you want to keep your friend list small.........

There is a very easy solution to this problem - dont be on facebook to start with then you dont have to worry about adding twits you dont want to add. Have enough time wasting websites to go onto without adding facebook to it - between here and TM that takes up enough internet time.

Yep I am feeding a large handful daily. Horses seem to be loving them. I grabbed from RD1 the other day 5kg bag for $15 caus it was ripped...will last for ages!
Yea too right Simone! Salt hasnt made a diff to my mare...she needs to come off the grass, but with one already in a mudpit (off grass as I am riding her, well until she took out a gate on the weekend!!)she is currently turned out...will wait till it dries up and they can go together will see how she goes on just hay, with the salt.

Does anyone know how many sheep roughly you can graze to each acre of land? I guess it depends on the quality of the grass. Thanks

Thanks - Good to know the sheep where I graze can't be starving! They sure bleat alot - is that normal? They have some lambs now, which makes them even noisier.. I thought Sheep would be fairly quiet animals.

They bleat to communicate, esp when lambing, so the lambs know their mums and vice-versa. Otherwise they're usually pretty quiet.

James, Ebony and Charlie are a pain in the butt when they think they are hungry. As soon as they see me they start the starving 'please sir can I have some more' routine. I swear they eat more hay than the horses do!
