Friday Fail / Flashback?

This is more of a week long fail then just a Friday Fail, as i haven't sat on Nancy since Sunday's hack in the woods & Kika hasn't had tack on her back since Saturdays spin.

Friday Flashback to last night

However i particularly failed today as although I had the afternoon off work to accept the delivery of MY NEW KITCHEN!!!

All ready for installation first thing Monday morning
I still didn't manage to log any saddle time or try out my new boots #fail
I spent over an hour and a half with the delivery guys as they brought all the stuff into the flat & then went to do grocery shopping for my dad. By the time i got home from that I was mentally exhausted and feeling the guilts for not having managed to turn the girls out - so i buried my head in the sand and opted to spend the evening chilling with my dad.
Me-so-bad :'(


Such forgiving creatures 
- Nancy's midday greeting
(video from this day last week
 so even "further" flashback)
LINK - in case for whatever reason the embedded fails

I also wanted to ask another tall boots maintenance question & thank all those who responded to my post yesterday. What do ya'll mean by conditioning? Is that saddle soap then oil, or just conditioning balm straight from the package?
I have different products but if it's the latter option i was leaning towards attacking them with my Higher Standards balm...should I soap them first?

Apologies for being so ignorant *blush*

    ooh exciting about the new kitchen!! and the girls will forgive you for not riding - they'll still be there when everything else calms down :)

    re: the boots, i'd say you only need soap if they're dirty, as soap can sometimes be a drying agent. but your mileage may vary

      Methinks they will def pardon my not riding as that = work...They would prob have been less forgiving over my failing to turn them out for the afternoon.
      Oh Wells they went out at 10am this morning and came in for pedicures & a hair cut...They truly are pampered ponies!
