Oooh not blogged for a bit - sooooo busy! In middle of house refurb and setting up JCS Equestrian and getting my hip better too!
JCS is pretty much ready to go - got one client so far that I had already - just need to market myself a bit :-)
House warming on Saturday all going well - kitchen arriving today, new lounge suite ordered, most of decorating done and bathroom nearly ready too.
Can't wait.

Fresh Start!
I am so happy that my good and lovely friend Gill has given birth to her second son today, brother to little Luke. I couldn't beam more for Gill and her lovely fella Neil. He's so chuffed to have two boys now!
I love fresh starts! All change and another page to start on. I am free of my old job now and am positively bursting at the seams to get off the ground officially.
Lots of paperwork ready to be sent off and an appointment with the bank to set up an account for business. Next is a round of visits to riding schools and livery yards with my details and to all the tack shops and leisure centres.
CAN'T WAIT! Got a session booked with a client on Friday morning. This is the beginning ... :-D

MRI Experience
Well, yesterday I had an MRI done of my right hip to try and find out what is wrong with it. What a weird and hellish noisy experience that was! I popped into a gown and climbed onto a bed/platform thingy and then the radiographer strapped my hip into a cradle and strapped my feet together so I couldn't move them. Hands down my sides and I got to hold a buzzer in case I need help and then some big headphones to try and drown out the sound of the machine because it is so LOUD! Weirder still, the headphones first song was "How Bizarre" and then Tom Jones!
It was a little scary as it was so incredibly noisy and booming. Plus you are squeezed into a little tube and can't see anything but the inside of the tube. To top it off I got a tickle in my throat and an itch on my shoulder that was HUGELY distracting LOL. I managed to somehow ignore them til it ended about 15 mins later.
So, now I'm waiting for my results. Consultant thinks it is a labral tear :-S
Also popped in to see yet another GP to go over my medical report for my current employer while I'm off work. He was quite positive that I shouldn't be working properly atm so I am glad of the extra time to get set up as a freelance instructor in my area before we part company either by them ending my contract or me resigning.
I am still putting together my business plan and now the weather seems to have cleared up much more now, I'm going to start harassing persuading suggesting my services to my friends and other potential clients. Ooh I forgot that I may also have bagged myself the use of an outdoor arena in my next village for FREE which would be very useful for training OP and for giving lessons to local clients. Must follow that up a bit more.
Right, time to go and do some more decorating of my new house and fetch the horse in.

Progress
Hello again :-)
Well good news, I am now awaiting an appointment to have an MRI scan on my hip to suss out what the problem is. My Consultant thinks it may be a cartilage injury and I may need surgery - eek, but I am being positive and hoping physio will be enough to fix me.
I am looking for a little part-time job to keep me going and have been doing some research into potential competitors and pricing. Going to pick my best friend's brain about it tomorrow when we go for tea together.
I am glad the snow has finally started to melt - means that the roads are safer for driving and for riding. Many people have been truly stuck not able to exercise their horses round here. OP is happy enough racing around his paddock and eating the grass through the melting snow at the moment. Not sure when I will be able to ride again but I KNOW I can teach!
That's all for now.
