on the yard hunt front. i wrote to the one that had no one home the other day, letter went today so you never know they might ring me tomorrow.
i rang the one in mobberley; they only do part livery for £60 per week inclusive of all hay haylage etc.. and he said, feed, but surely that can't be right? and they do morning turnout, you just turn up at night. i'm going to go look one night next week (already have plans for tomorrow). colleague had forgot to ask her friend, so sent email tonight.
on the flat front, no word from the landlord yet re the bathroom, so i shall probably seal it round myself on monday if i haven't heard anything. can't be doing with a bath in the morning, a shower it should be!
on the pay front - realised tonight that i am also paying my own EMPLOYER'S NI contribution - very bizarre! and not what i'd expected, not doing a lot for the budget!
and i thought the laptop had died - had told it to reboot, but it didn't - it wouldn't do anything! went out for milk I'd forgotten to get, and it booted up ok, so i suppose it had managed to overheat in the 20 minutes it had been switched on...
my back is hurting, which i think is to do with the seats - both in the flat and in the office, neither are ergonomically correct!
and when the place has warmed up, i'm having a bath tonight - too cold to face the prospect this morning!

ooooh...the idea of a bath in a cold house is not at all appealing to me!! *shiver*
You are not having the easiest of times. Wish I had a way to make it better.
The prices at that yard sound pretty good. Too good? What's the deal? Hope you get it all sorted thoroughly before you make any moves.
Actually, double thinking this. 60 a week is about 240 a month. That is around $480 or so per month. Definitely less than most boarding places here in the US, but for around $500-$600 you could find full care here. Maybe it's right in the proper price range if he has good supplies of feed and haylage.
It's the right price if they aren't doing any mucking out or riding. They do minimal input - a few minutes work in the morning to chuck in a feed and chuck out the horse, say £5 worth if that. So £55 to cover haylage (probably home made or big bale), food bought in bulk, and a stable. Even if a bale of bedding a week is included in the price they are still making £30 per stable per week profit. Most places would be happy with that.
