I so can't wait to get moved to my new place!

Just need to vent, please don't feel the need to respond!

Arrived last night with new wheel/tyre for car (still driving round in lorry due to two punctures on Sat!!)
Madam wandered off down the field, so got jobs done first, went to get her in just as a fellow livery put her mare out! Well, they all went nuts galloping round - no chance of catching her (bearing in mind it is now 5.30, I need to ride before leaving yard at 6.30 to take a couple of the girls evening SJ)

So thought I'd go and put the new wheel on. No chance, could'nt for the life of me get the blooming wheel nuts undone, so resigned myself to the fact I'd be stuck driving the lorry until Friday (day off) as Dressaging tonight and working in the pub thu eve.

Then another fellow livery had a go at me for taking a stray cat to the yard. It is apparently too nice a cat to be on the yard????? Its not spayed or microchipped, and was upsetting my cats at home, it ran in my house every time I opened a door or window, so I thought it would be warm and fed and be happy with all those mice in our barn. It was eating and looking well.

Anyway, the lovely lady in the stable next to mine ended up taking it home! So was a bit upset at that.

By this time Madam was waiting at the gate, so brought her in and just had 20 mins schooling, put her to bed.

Then 6.40pm Loaded L's pony and, L & C jumped in and off we went. I had arranged to take C jumping, put L had persuaded her they could both jump L's pony. a couple of other teens from the yard also went with another pony and the bitchin started - omg, they are not nice when they get going. I know all of them and really don't want to be involved

They did there stuff, asked if they could stay for another class, poor pony had already jumped round 4 times so I said no!

got back to the yard. L put pony away, C took tack, L's mum and dad turned up and off she went leaving me and C to muck out the box and lock up etc!!

Got dressage tonight, need to leave the yard at 6ish, so was busy trying to get a couple of jobs sorted before work this morn, got into wk at 8.15am, sat down - left my bloomin laptop at home - aggggghhhhhh

Should have stayed in bed!!!!!!!

Don't you just hates days/weeks like that! It can only get better ......

Its hard when you know you are leaving somewhere I think, because it makes every annoying thing seem much worse, as you don't want to be there. I know exactly how you feel, but just keep taking deep breaths!!

Hopefully start moving next weekend!! The stables are now built, he is putting the doors on next week and the double glazing in the tackroom, kitchen and loo. I really can't wait.

The yard i am on now ticks all the boxes for what you are looking for, but again will be too far for you. you will have to move house!!
